The penltentiarv authorities this
year have been called upon to
deal with a problem that has pro
baby never before arisen. 1t has
been the custom for long time to
employ female convicts in the tail
oring department of the peniten-
tiary within the walls. The number
of female convicts has never hither-
to been more than was required to
do this work, but this year the
authorities were confronted with a
large excess. The receipts from the
different circuit courts show that
the number Of female criminals is
decidedly on the increase in the
State, and the peDitentiary has
more on hand now than 1t can ac
cpmmodate under old methods
There being nothing else to do, it
was decided to send the surplus ft
males to the farms 10 work the
crops of the State along with the
men. A gang of twelve has already
been taken to the Oakley farm,
where the women viii be employed
IN the cultivation OF the corn crop.

Wexford Items.

Dear Herald After compliments to
your able staff, wish to announce to
your newsy columns the loss that we, the
patrons of Brushy Creek School, have re-
ceived in the following manner, to-wit
That one Mr.. A. A. Altman, a promi-
nent young man of Cross Roads, Miss,
has boldly come and carried our highly
esteemed teacher, Miss Belle Moody, from
our midst in the holy bonds of wedlock
TO their future home at Cross Roads,
thereby creating an everlasting loss to the
people of our community, for besides be
inc a good teacher she was highly es-
teemed in our community as a young
lady of high social standing, and well
beloved by all in our community, but asl
we all have to part some day, we vii
conclude by saying that we hope our loss
may be Mr.. Almans gain for a long,
happy and prosperous life. SO good luck
and the best of wishes for you, Miss Belle.
From one of your many admirers.

man presented TO a woman, unless ne be
decidedly elder and distinguished, must
wait for the lady to take a movement to-
wards shaking hands, and when one wo-
man is presented to another, the man who
is accompanying her, it is the dnty of
friendship, as well as hospitality, for the
man to be met with a cordial handshake.
Ordinarily, women are not supposed to
shake hands with men when they are
presented to them. This holds good even
