think 1t all folly IOr they never have any
one TO lock up save lunatic now and
then. But for all that they are building
county Jail at cost Of $1,000. It will
be handsome brick structure, and an
ornament TO the town, looking from the
street like handsome private dwelling.

have the contract. The Court House has
lately been painted and fixed up without

offices OF the clerks and Prosecuting At
