While there are no adornments on the walls and no soft Brussells~carr- pets on the floors, the new hostelry which the county keeps on Washing ton Avenue for the convenience. to say nothing of security. of its guests is in every wey as comfortable as mon ey can make 1t.
 The perfect arrangement of the of- fees. corridors and cagaes in the new county prison is the first thing which catches the eye of the visitor as he 4 crosses the threshold of the new en-
 e.ance. Everything even ito the smallest item. Is clean, airy and com fortable looking. even inviting, when one looks at the iron beds with their new arrangement of springs, their new mattresses and bedding.
 The saanttary arrangements are also first-class. and the heating of the building is excellent
 Many tax payers who have been won- dering where their money is spent in the building of the new jail from the outside appearances. need only to step into the ofiice and look down the corr sridors of the first floor to have their question answered. Jailer Pettus will be very glad for these disgruntled ones >to come and be shown over the new building, provided, of course that the time Is propitious.

The only thing HHk- ing to make the new building com plete is the installation of a laundry. With this most neetled addition there would he no such ching possible as vermin in the new building.
 The arrangement of the cages is admirable. Each floor is divided into sections in which certain number of men may be placed. In all, when com pleted, the new building will comfort ably accommodate 800 prisoners, and by the expenditure of few thousand dol- lars more can easily be made to &C., ,commodate 500.
