A LIVE ONE Is Berne’s New Marshal—He Gets After ’Em. If Frank Brandyberry keeps up the gait which he assumed and has been holding since he has been appointed town marshal, he will, in course of time, make of every man in Berne a law-abiding citizen. Saturday night he raided a poker game over the People's restaurant and caught two men, James Lawson and Jacob Miller, but Lawson got away before both could be arrested, 'rhe warrant that is now out for Lawson will no doubt keen him away from Berne for some time to come. Four men have already been arrested for violating the speed law. All of them paid their fines and costs, amounting to -9.44 in each case. The fast automobilists are a stranger from Ohio, John Hocker of Monroe and Dan Stauffer and O F. Gilliam of this place. Now .let others beware! And last Thursday night waa the first Hallowe'en night in many years in : which there was absolutely no dam-! age done to any property in Berne. Not a tning was removed that was heard of. ixn the good work go on —Berne W’itness. Mr and Mrs. Jeff Cully of Willshire, Ohio, were entertained Sunday by Mr. and Mrs David Archer of Pleasant Mills. 1
