lively work of 5000 men. Bodies are
constantly being uncovered and it is

ATTENTION PEOPLE OF sTAUNTON.
A Committee to Call on Citizens in Regard
to Visitors to the Grand Encampment.

In order that our city may be pre-
pared to receive and entertain the large
crowd of strangers at the reunion in
October, it has been decided by the
tcommittee of arrangements to have a
representative from Stonewal ckson
Camp call upon the citizens and ascer-
tain the number of visitors that each
one can entertain and make memoran-
dunn of same.
In making canvass of the city, the
work can be greatly expedited if the
heads OF households would talk over
this matter in the meantime and be
prepared to let the agent know when
he calls. Doubtless some can furnish
board and will be unable to lodge their
guests. Others may be so situated as
TO lodge them without board. 1t is
hoped that as many as possible will
arrange to board and lodge them, as
the reunion only lasts three days, De-
tober 10th. 18th and 18th. Some of our |
citizens will doubtless entertain with |
out charge, and this fact it will be
necessary for the agent to note in bis
book. 1t is hoped that the prices
charged may be rs reasonable as pos
sible, and that no effort be spared up
on the part of our citizens to make the |
visit of the veterans and their friends |
an event long to be remem bered with |
emotions of pleasure.
This work Can be greatly facilitated
if those who may find it convenient |
will leave memorandum with " alter
D. Hoge, at the Y. NJ. G. A, stating
the pumber they can take and prices
charged. 1t will be very necessary to

Decided Against the Sheriff.

On Saturday the case of the Com
monwealth against Sheriff N. G. Watts
for permitting the escape of D. H.
Taylor from the county Jail, was heard
before Police Justice w. H. Landes.
A number of witnesses were examined
telling of how Taylor was allowed to
90 about the streets at night as we'll as
by day, and some witnesses testified
to having seen him in county. The
justice reserved his decision until Mon
day, when he found Mr.. Watts guilty
and fined him $50.
In rendering the decision Mr.. Landes
stated that the responsibility for the
escape of the prisoner would have rest
ed on Mr.. Dawson, who is the jailer,
but for the fact that the evidence
showed that Mr.. Watts had given or
ders to let Taylor out, and knowing of
his being out made no objection.
