spirited workers as j. Fl. Christopher, ]. j.
COckrell w. L. Hedges and other citizens,
the creamery project is success and the
works will be established, the full amount
of the required stock having been sub
scribed. Warrensburg is sometimes little
slow in taking hold o. new ideas and new
enterprises, but when once their feasibility
is established she is as sure as death. The
creamery is the first victory secured for the
citizens association, but it will not be the
last. The creamery will add materially to
the prosperity OF the surrounding farming
community and to the city.

practical manner stated the several
propositions made by Messrs. Holt & Hall,

terprise.
A COUNTY JAIL.
For . number of years johnson county
has been without a Jail, and was under the
necessity of sending her prisoners to other
counties for safe keeping. Several propo-
sitiOns have been submitted and discussed,
but the result was always the same some
thing was wrong the lans were impracti-
cable, and the county is as ill prepared to
take care of her criminals as ever. The
county court has addressed the following
request to the taxpayers of the county, and
it is to be hoped that the matter will be so
arranged that johnson, one of the foremost
counties in the state, will not be long with
out this necessary adjunct to civilization:
"The very urgent demands made on US
by Influential citizens of the county to take
some steps toward building Jail, and the
great expense to the county in having its
prisoners kept in the jails of other counties,
or of subjeciing them to inhuman treat
ment by crowding them into poorly ven
tilated calabo0se, have prompted us to
make an effort. Desiring to act in harmo-
ny with the good citizens of our county, We
would most respectfully request that they
assemble at their usual voting places on
Saturday, August 18th, at 2 o'clock, and
elect one or more representative business
men to meet US in Warrensburg on the
Tuesday following, at IL o'clock, to discuss
and agree upon some plan by which this
very great need may be supplied, in q man.
ner that viii meet the approval and coop

county"
