The funeral was held this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. DEPUTY TREASURER DAD JOHNSON. (Special Grapevine Service) A little bird flew in the News office the other day and "let the cat out" that our genial friend, ex-postmaster Johnson has been keeping a trump card up his sleeve all this time, having everyone guessing why he wanted to sell out and go to Bloomington, when he was making "easy money" here, which if the little bird was right, and we guess it was, he will be county treasurer Weaver's deputy. Both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Weaver are former Green county natives and have always been life long friends. Mr. Johnson expects to leave here about March 15 and it is presumed will take up his new duties about April 1st. So instead buying postage stamps you will fork over your taxes to him.
