Colby CAT.
This is identically the same Jail that we
have, only that ours was purchased from
another house. The size and style are
exactly the same as ours. The Smith
county Jail was built in 1880, and has
already paid for itself several times, and
is now as good as new. At the time the
Jail was bought there was great deal of
fault found with the commissioners for
so doing, some parties even going so far
as to have them indicted by the grand
jury for the great steal which it was
claimed they had made in the purchase
of the steel jail cells. Those who were
the most outspoken against their pur
chase then, are now numbered among
those who are glad of that same action
on the part of the board. Ours were
paid for with the hard cash. and we have
no bonds to look after in the future
