gines and powers are set in solid cement

The Commissioners of Warren county
are about to begin extensive repairs and
alterations on the Jail of that county, and
while the work is going on they will de-
posit their prisoners in the Jail at Tio-
nesta, arrangements to this effect having
been made with the Commissioners and
Sheriff of this county. This will give
Sheriff Noblit little extra business for
which he will perhaps be duly thankful,
and the monotony of the drllness that
has been thick enough to cut with a knife
thus far during his encumbency of the
Sheritf's office, will be in measure
broken. Resides the prisoners will be in
a secure place.

and runs with less racket than most OF
those usually met with.

to visit neighbor, pulled the baby's crib
up in front of the telephone, opened the

that of the girl who never hesitates to
step into neighbours house, ask for the
use ofthe telephone, then call up some
person who has a phone in another par,
OF the town, and ask the party who ans

coming school year by the borough o.
Peasantvile and the townships of AL

of a new game which is said to be highly
successful as source of merriment and
good fellowship. The game is played on
small card tables, and each pair OF guests
is provided with dish of water, in which
dozen peanuts float. To each player
is given a hat-pin, and the party is in
