MONROE, COAL CENTER. I Is Only Place One Can Secure Coal, and Supply There is Low. Our neighbor town, Monroe, is doing, a land-office business in the coal line, and it seems to be the only spot where this mineral can be obtained within a radius of miles around, and from reports received, the supply there is getting low also. There are three coal dealers in the town of Monroe, and they have been receiving orders from surrounding towns, including Berne and this city. Two firms have already disposed of what they could secure, and the only one now doing business in the coal line is the Monroe Hay Grain & Milling company, which is being well patronized. A big load was brought to this city this morning. The company has only thirty tons remaining in their bins, and when this sup--1 ply is exhausted Monroe will have to i join with the other cities, as they will receive no more this year. c POLICE COURT NEWS. i The trial of Earl Reber, charged with assault and battery, preferred by Mrs. Reber, was this morning tried before Justice of the Peace Stone, Reber being found guilty and fined a dollar and costs. Attorney L. C. DeVoss, so rthe defense, then asked for an appeal to the circuit court, which was granted, and the case will coms | lup next term of court.
