Sidewalk Riding

We have received many complaints about boys riding their bicycles on the sidewalks, and we will take steps to stop it." says Chief of Police Shirley.
 The chief said in the last few days complaints of this nuisance have poured into headquarters and in sev- eral instances younger children were run into and hurt.
 While it may seem to be a small thing" said the chief, Tit is really dangerous. A number of children have been hurt by this means lately. It would not be so bad if the mothers of the boys who have the bicycles would try to prevent them from riding on the sidewalk, but the older people don't seem to take interest in the matter un- til someone is hurt. This offense is punishable, in children under sixteen years, by their being sent to the ju- venile court and possibly to the reform school. I have instructed the members of the police force to see that this is stopped, even if the cases have to be taken to court"

County Is Fortunate
 In Judicial Officers

1T PETERSON county is fortunate 0 in the character of the men who occupy judicial positions, and without making comparisons it is probable that few men in the county would fail to pay tribute to the abil- ity, fairness and all-round judicial temperament of Judge Dan A. Greene. Added to his thorough legal training, he has behind him many years of auc- cessful experience on the bench, SO that he has acquired a reputation in his judicial capacity which has at tracted statewide attention.
 The county also has on the circuit bench another judge who has a repu- tation for ability which is recognized all over the state. Judge Richard V. Evans came to the bench in this coun- ty after having served term as asso- ciate justice of the Alabama court of appeals. He, too, is of the type of judge in which every citizen can take
