We want to enter our protest
against a change of location for the
new Jail. The county now has
about an acre of ground where the
present Jail stands. They could not
sell it for half the money that a new
location would cost them. 1t is
economy to keep it where it is, and
much more desirable than where it
is proposed to buy lot and locate it.
We want to say to the little boys
who possess target guns that it is
against the law to shoot robins.
We are led to remind them of this,
by seeing some boys shooting robins
along the creek banks, the other
day. The fine for this is very heavy;
and if you don't want to go to Jail
boys, you must desist from this
unlawful practice.
The assessors are now OH their
annual rounds, taking assessments
of personal property; and it is the
time when people dislike to see this
officer. We hope the assessment re-
turns will show that our property
owners have been fair and just in
making returns to the Assessor.

come from Point Pleasant.
