JUDGE KITTRELL RIGHT.

Hon. Norman G. Kittrell, new
district Judge at Houston, advances
the very sensible idea that county
prisoners should be provided with
work to pay their keep. Dewitt
county pays out every year between
$500 and $1,000 for such expense
and there in no reason why these
people should not do something to
earn this. There ought to be a
work house in connection with the
Jail and prisoners of all grades OF
crime made to earn at least enough
to board and cloth themselves. The
county has been always fortunate
in having her prisoners economical
" cared for but the honest tax
payers of the county could and
should be relieved of this burden.
These prisoners could and should
make a great many useful things
and it would be helpful and
healthful occupation for them.

HOW TO KILL MOSQUITOES

Following this clew, Mr.. Howard

be made on a large scale to destroy
the Larvae of the insects in the
marshes where they breed, and an
effort vas made to try the expert

CULTURE" IN CHICAGO.

Chicago is going in strongly for
culture. One of the leading railroads
of the city has offered to crease the
pants of each of its employees
twelve times a month for nothing,
in the hope that there will be
presented to their patrons such a
pleasing aspect that the sight will
be worth paying for and will at
tract more than the normal number,
OF travellers. The idea is very
popular among the travelling public
OF Chicago. The only complaint
heard is from the employees who
possess only one pair Of the gar
ments.

The postage stamp collectors Of
the world have experienced another
thrill. Another couple of exceedingly
valuable stamps has been found,
the Id and I'd of what is known as
the Post Office" of Mauritius. An
English schoolboy going over some
old correspondence found an
envelope with a couple of strange
looking stamps, and took it to his
father, who was not well up in
stamps, but had a friend in Paris
who was a collector. The envelope
was sent to Paris, with instructions
TO sell it at the best price, and it
was sold to a well known dealer
for 1000 pounds. The precious
envelope has since been sold TO a
well-known collector for 2,60O
pounds.

one PLACE LEFT FOX
GENERAL GIANT.

At a recent meeting of Confeder-
ate veterans in Richmond, many
amusing tales were told. One of
them was how General Grant got
the worst of it at the hands OF 2
Southern woman. The Baltimore
Sun tells the story:
While Grant was in Charles City
county IN old lady sent one Of her
grandchildren to him TO ask where
he was going.
Tell your grandmother" said
General Grant, that am going to
Richmond or Petersburg, or heaven
or HI"
In little while the boy returned
ond said:
Grandmother says you can not
90 to Richmond, Tor General Lee is
there; you can not 90 to Petersburg
for Beauregard is there; and YOU
can not 90 to heaven, for General
Jackson is there
General Grant very readily saw
that only one place was left to hin
in case lie wanted to go somewhere

Sunday School Work.

Meetings of great interest and worth
were held here, Saturday evening and
Sunday, by Gen. Secretary Mason of the
State Sunday school association and Mrs.
Alonzo Petit, state primary worker for
New Jersey. The Saturday evening
conference In the Congregational chapel
dealt with the development Of the lesson
for the different grades, and Mrs. Petit
answered the many questions asked with
charm and grasp upon the subject
which was remarkable. The Sunday
afternoon conference related to the
duties of the Ulcers and to practical
system of grading in the schools. Mrs.
Petit gave new light on many problems
of the Sunday schools and the workers
in the churches will remember her visits
with pleasure and profit.
In the evening a mass meeting was
held in the Methodist church and Rev.
E. A. Mason and Mrs. Petit gave adj
dresses upon organized Sunday school
work. Mr.. Mason and Mrs. Petit left
by team early Monday morning for
Hartland where an Institute was held
tt at day.

Citizens of the towns and cities in
Washington County by vote, last week,
rejected an offer of ten per cent for the
100000 of preferred stock they had
taken to help build the Washington
County railroad, and now are liable to
lose the whole of their investment, as
legal process has been commenced on
the part of mortgage bondholders of the
road to foreclose their mortgage. The
$500, 600 provided by the municipalities
of Washington County about nine years
ago, secured the building of the road.
1t has been of great advantage to the
business interests of the county and will
be for many years to come, Take it in
the long run as a whole, the investment
was good one for the county. 1t was,
however, hard on some individual towns
that were not situated so as to be bene.
fitted by the road.
