And the Contract for Humane House for
Prisoners win soon Be Erected.
A Three story Building.
The county commissioners were in
session last week, and their principal
work was in deciding upon plan for
Terrell's new Jail. After much discus
sion the plan presented by the Manly
Manufacturing Co., of Dalton, Georgia,
was adopted, and instructions were
issued to advertise for bids for erecting
the building,
1t is to be erected on the corner Of the
colrt house square and will be an orna~
ment as to its looks, to that portion of
ths city. 1t will be of bvick, built in
keeping with the style of the court house,
and will be three stories high. The
lower floor, front, will be the residence
portion of the Jail, and Immediately in
the rear will be space for eight steel
cells. These will be put in as soon as
the building is up. On the second and
thild floors will be space for 81 xteen
additional cells, which will be put in
later.
The building will be so heated that
when such colo weather comes as has
been with us the past week the cells can
be kept comfortable.
1t is the purpose of the commissioners
to have the building finished before the
close of 1895, and the contractors will be
obligated to do this.
For long time Terrell county has been
without proper quarters for it's prisoners,
but at last the prospect is bright for the
speedy erection OF safe aud comic rtabe
home for those upon whom the law has
laid its hands.

TO Keep from Freezing.
The weather man promised this Sec
ton of the country cold wave, and de-
velopments have proved that that emf
nent functonary did not make a miscal-
culation.
Early risers Thursday morning noticed
a rapid fall in the temperature, and in a
few hours the cold was intense. The
cold wave was general over the Atlantic
coast, Jacksonville reporting IA degrees
and Tampa telling of snow fall The
heavy northwestern wind that prevailed
made it more severe.
The morning opened up in Dawson
with a dismal outlook, but about ten
o'clock the sun came out, then quickly
withdrew. At eleven the thermometer
had dropped considerably and snow be-
gan to fall, at times quite thickly. The
ground was too warm and moist for
snow, and it melted as it fell.
During the afternoon it grew colder
rapidly and by nightfall the mercury
was at ten degrees. Early next morn
ing it registered five degrees, the lowest
point reached in Dawson in fifty years.
The waterworks connections had been
cut off, but despite this precaucion many
pipes were frozen and burst.

our Jail Mr. Joe Greer, one of the
prisoners, was 50 cold on Thursday af
ternoon that, making a bundle of his
overcoat, he placed it in large pan and
set fire to it to keep from freezing. As
soon as Sheriff Christie learned of this
he had all the prisoners carried to the
lower portion of the jail, where there
are fire places, and kept under guard
until the weather modera led.
The oat crop is again killed, and from
every quarter comes the complaint OF
blasted hopes in the way Of early gar
dens. tIn the business part OF the city
water has been scarce, the pipes being
either cut off or frozen and the pumps
in the same fix.
We trust this is the last cold blast win
