Up in Mantua the people have discovered the
origin of the Jail fire, and should Sheriff Jone
again come up for the Sherifalty, the inhabi
tants of that section would surely give him
black eye and back seat. They say the Sher
iff was guilty of gross careessness in smoking
hams in the Jail attic. We are not politically
affiliated with Mr.. Jones' and hence it is nc
part of our duty to defend him in so severe
charge. Let him establish his innocence BY
proving that he smoked those hams in a safe
and careful manner, or forever hold his peact
against the charge enveloping him in the smok,
occasioned by the fire famed by public censure
which, not unlike that composing the destruc
ton of the time honored Jail, water will no
quench.
The Ravenna Fire Department, too, had bet
ter attend to its defence, for it is charged will
having thrown dry water, and to have actual,
directed the hose away from the burning build
ing, Besides all this, it is charged with enough
sins of omission and commission to convict
of high treason
The County Commissioners are respectful,
but earnestly requested to inquire into thes,
matters, and see to it that no guilty parties ar,
allowed to shift the responsibilities of their con
duct on to the shoulders of Providence.
