Show A TOWN MARSHALL one thing that was brought very vividly to mind by the robbery of last week tuesday and that was the lack of any town police protection the town cannot expect that the county sheriff is going to do town police duty and he should not be expected too he is a county officer and his duties do not include patrolling the town streets of any town in the county he is willing and does respond when called but in most cases it is after the damage has been done clone it seems like petty economy not to have lave the town patrolled as are most towns in the country today the town authorities and the citizens will wake up to the fact after they suffer a big loss every town situated as is monticello should have a town marshall on the job every night of the year it does not take long for clever thieves with a speedy car to clean out the stores of the town or even the bank and be over the state line in a short time monticello is situated at the junction and they have two ways to go north or east we realize that it costs money to pay a marshall betit but it would seem as if the investment would be well worth all that it costs some night we are going to suffer a fire loss that could have been prevented if there was a marshall Ia patrolling trOlling the town at night there is one way to get these things and that is to tell the toch council that they must be provided it is their theil job I 1 i |
