High Seriff Falls Victim to Stop Signal
The law of Athens is no respector of persons. On Sunday morning, Sheriff Morrow, whil driving in the city, diliberately passed over one of the stop siginals. He had no more than passed whien the shrill wistle of Cop Shug Stirman was heard. The sheriff at once saw his error, but Shug told him to "Tell it to the judge," on Monday morning.
The moral of this little story is: "Beter be safe than pay out an iron man."
