OUR COUNTY JAIL.-In the Habeas
Corpus case of Michael Schreck heard at
the last term of court, it was shown by
expert testimony that the county jail at
Colfax was an unfit place to confine any
one. 1t was compared to the BLACK
hole of Calcutta" The court, after hear
ing the evidence, ordered the sheriff to
find better quarters for tae prisoners at
the county's expense. Our advanced
state Of civilization demands that the
health of all those who are confined in
prisons, shall be protected and cared
for, and from the evidence in this case it
it is evident that our county Jail is a
barbarous place in which to confne any
one.
IRIS A DAIsY.-Hon. A T. Fariss' new
house is about completed, and he has
left nothing undone to make it a model
of convenience and artistic skill. The
main entrance leads into a hall, the front
door of which is embelished with an ele-
giant stained glass window. To the left
of the hall, and leading from it, is the
library, bespeaking the taste of the own
er, and away from all noise. In the rear
of this is an airy bedroom directly con-
nected with the bathroom, the latter to
be supplied with hot and cold water.
Across the hall from the library is the
parlor, commodious, and commanding
an excellent view of the city and sub
urbs. Folding doors separate this from
the dining-room and the two, if occasion
calls, can be made into one large room.
The kitchen is all that kitchen should
be, and the pantry! the completeness of
this will be the envy of all the ladies.
Leading up from the hall to the second
floor is an elegant staircase, rich in its
design and finish. The upper apart
ments are roomy and in keeping with
the rest. At the rear of the building
Mr.. F. proposes to erect wood-shed,
cellar and ice house under one roof. The
house will be fitted throughout with new
and appropriate furnishings, and when
the finishing touches are added to the
exterior it will be credit and ornament
to our city.
THE Liberal ADvERTIsER.-It is an
invariable rule that the man who is
stingY and penurious about advertising
is stingy and penurious in his other
business transactions. The same bust
ness spirit and enterprise that prompts
man to use printers ink literally in
making his business known, prompts him
to deal literally with his customers SC
that he may hold their trade. The man
who sits in his store and waits for Gus.
