Our county court is beginning to get In
Its work on the jail birds. 1t made an
order at the last sitting that the jail
prisoners may be worked on the county
roads. This is good as far as IL goes.
There may be a busy season when the
road overseers have to look after their
crops, and then the prisoners ought to be
made to crack rock. A good system OF
working prisoners, and a good long Jail
term for misdemeauors will have a pow
erful influence on the lazy, trifliug
element about this city. II we had a
whipping-p post attachment we would be
happy.
