they should have visited that instit ;ution
on one of the recent cold days and seen

1t was on one of the coolest DAYS of
! last week that News reporter isibeL'
the Jail in company with Sheriff Christie,
who went for the humane purpose of see
ing II the prisoners had enough blankets
and were as comfortable as they could
be made in their disagreeable quarters.
Sheriff Christie is kind to his prisoners
and thoughtful of their comfort, and
always keeps them literally supplied
with blankets, but knowing that the ar
rangement and the condition of the
prison are such as to make anything like
comfort, in such weather as we have re-
Gently experienced, an impossibiity, he
thought that possibly he might be able
to do something towards lessening their
suffering by going to the Jail.
The prisoners were all found wrapped
in blankets, shivering and suffering from
bitter cold as the wind from the outside
whistled in through the tops of their
cheerless iron cells.
Sheriff Christie says it is impossible
for them to keep warm under the pres
ent arrangement of the Jail, and that
they are often compelled to lie wrapped
in their blankets for several days in an
attempt to keep warm-or, to keep their
suffering from the cold being so severe.
A Jail is place for safe-keeping,
and not the punishment, of prisoners,
but che unlucky one who is compelled to
pass awinter in the Terrell county Jail
receives greater punishment than the
convict who has already received his
sentence and is serving in the chaingang.
Hhe jail is also in bad sanitary con-
dition, and the prisoners are frequently
sick.
John Widen, one of the Clay county
prisoners, is Just recovering frsm a Sc
we're attack of fever, while George Os-
born, the other prisoner from that coun- |
ty, is now sick.
Other prisoners are frequently sick, |
and require the attention of physician. |
In fact during the last few moaths there |
have been a number of cases of sickness |
at the Jail.
The late grand jury suggested plan |
by which a new Jail could be built with |

nance was passed preventing the OPP
GRAFTON of a flying jenny within the
fire limits.

reli eyed of payment of notes given in
payment of the third and fourth
quarters of his whisky license, was
not granted.
The last thing to engage the atten

Messrs. j. II. Davis, T. r. Thorn
ton, j. A. Lowrey and R. l.. Far

the sixth ballot. 1t took four votes

And Get Out of Jail Because His Friend

Since Judge Query failed to hold ar
adjourned term of Clay superior court
for the purpose of trying John Whidden
charged with being an accessory to the
murder of joel Holmes, that prisoner
has been very low-spirited.
He strongly asserts his innocence and
firmly believes that he will be acqui tied
when his trial comes off. He was anx
ious to be tried at the adjourned term Of
Clay court, appointed for December, but
which was not held. The failure of the
judge to hold the court disappointed
Whidden very much.
His confinement is beginning to tell or
him; besides, he is just recovering from
an attack of fever, and the once round
and ruddy face is beginning 20 look thir
and pallid.

lieve it would cover the sky. Her voice
is doeful, and her eyes show no radi

the victim of one of those complaints
common to women. Her system is de-
