The committee appointed by the Coun!

OF the old Jail building to the Peniten-
tiary, and II Is now being rapidly re-
moved, to be used in the erection, OF the

State prison. This is move nthe right
direction, for the dilapidated appearance
Of the Jail walls ever since the building
was burned has been an eye-sore to all
citizens who have any pride in the neat
appearance oi our town. A new jail will
be built in tho rear Of the court house,
and the sooner the better, we think, from
the amount it costs US to keep our pris-
oners in the Ohio county jail. Our court

10 the house and found her husband dead
just at the steps Of the porch on the

He had had a pocket book with some
money in his pocket. This was gone. In
