chinery, and TO make some needed i'm

! had been sold since emancipation. Liv-

| hood, not many years a 20, were two negro
men. Both had wives, but the current
OF their domestic lives did not move
smoothly. They got together one day and
began discussing their relative cOndi-

that swap Of wives might be beneficial

an old jack saw as boot. The two wives
changed their places OF abode and lived

Betsy, the last OF the four original par

Dahlonega Signal: A petition signed
by the officers OF court and many of our
worthy citizens has been sent to Judge
Newman, presiding Judge OF United States
Court IN Atlanta, asking that the men
! from tnls county who are convicted of
violating the revenue laws be sent TO our
county jan for Imprisonment. There is
nothing TO pFevent Judge Newmun from
granting this petition. The United States
authorities Gay a certain amount to Ful-
ton county to feed each prisoner, and this
amount cou d be easily transferred TO our
county, and the prisoners at the same
time kept as secure from escape. The
jail here is well ventilated, and the men
from this county who arensed to breath
ing fresh, pure air aud are hustled of TO
Atlanta and confined in a close cell. find
it injurious, the filthy odOrs rising from
the unclean cells giving some of them
disease. The district judges in other
States do this, and we see no reason why
Atlanta should have the exclusive right
10 keep ali United States prisoners.
