French Hunt, one Of TIE fast men OF
this place, has been sen. TO the peniten-
usry for two years for forging his faith
er's name to check on the Monroe
County Bank. The olense was commit
ted about year ago, but the young man
was not captured until recently. French
is hard one, and needs discipline such
as the pentcntisry affords.
The Commissioners will locate the
Children's Home here if they can buy
Lindey Baj!eys farm for $500. He
offers it for Sc 600, and good Judges think
it cheap. The Commissioners should
not abandon the place that suits for n
psltry five hundred dollars. Belmont
county is too wealthy for such paltry
movement Place the Home where it
will DO the most good, even if you do
have to pay fair price for the land.
