time will procure a holiday for
the town. We should never fail |

One of our exchanges says;
"Why not work our convicts on
the public highway? Let our
parish have something to show for
the expense of convicting and the
cost of grub afterwards. 1t would
he more profitable to have them
put in more time working the
roads and less time working the
treasury.
We have not thought much over
the matter but at first flash the
idea seems a good one.
There are at present in our Jail
some SIX or more prisoners who if
their time was spent in working
cur roads would feel better and be-
less expensive TO the parish. OF
course when there would be only
one or two prisoners in jail the
expense of watching and making
them work would be greater then
the fruits of their labor but that
could be properly managed.
We believe that if law making
persons sent to the parish Jail sub
ject to work on our roads could he
passed it would prove satisfactory
IN its result.-Abbeville Meridion-
