MUST GO TO COUNTY JAIL
All Persons Whose Sentences Are
Less Than One Year

ESo9 h9A Wv ~etf
Under a recent ruling Of Attorney
General Sargent, all costs Of prosecu-
ton and compliment Of prisoners
committed to county Jail by any court
inferior to the county court are to be
paid by the town or city in which the
offense is committed, aud If the pros
ecution is upon the complaint of vii
lage officer, by the village in which
the offense is committed. This ruling
will stir up a rumpus among the cit
les and towns as soon as its full pur-
port becomes known, says the Mont
pelier Argus.
The attorney general, of course is
not responsible for the law, it is ere
alton or probably lack of creation Of
the last session. That body passed Q
law requiring all respondents senten-
ced to one year or less to serve their
sentences In the county jails. 1t did
not provide that the state should pay
the costs of prosecution and commit
ment. That was left for the towns
to do. The cost run from IS to $40
each which will amount to something
in the course of year for a city like
Montpelier or Barre and even for
many of the larger towns
The House passed a bill that all
fines Of cases in city and Justice
courts should be paid into the state
treasurer and all costs of prosecution
should be paid by the state. This bill
was killed by the senate. Had 1t been
passed it would have covered this
matter
Section 1881 provides that the costs
of prosecution of breaches of the pc
nal law or other offenses shall be paid
out Of the treasury to which the penal
ty belongs, but if the respondent is
committed to the house of correction
they shall be paid out OF the state
treasury.
Under the new law all sentences for
year or less that ordinarily would
have been served in the house Of cor
rection must now be served in the
county jails, hence do not come within
the provision that the state shall pay,
and it is required of the towns to set
tie since they are supposed to get the
fines which are paid only in exception
al cases according to the experiene
| table
No doubt the legislature intended
that commitments should be made to
county Jail at the expense of the state
but failed to make provision for it.
There is no doubt that the state will
have much to pay for in the board OF
prisoners in county jails when the bal

The village of East Guilford, Just

for a hundred years or more This
ancient African appellation never
really belonged to the place, which
was officially known as Gulford until
the post Office there was abolished
when the rural free delivery service
was established in 1899.
There is an old tradition among the
townspeople, relative to the origin of
the title "Algiers," which runs as fol-
lows: The early settlement of Gull

of Brattleboro. and for nearly a quar-
ter of a century Guilford was the most

Good Advice Regarding the Proven

If people would only properly for

about 9S per cent of coughs, colds and
pneumonia might be avoided. These
troubles are simply the result OF
weakness which produces catarrhal
condition of the mucous membrane
which is as an internal skin of the
body When this skin is weakened,
It becomes infected with germs which
are carried through the system by the
blood. These parasites attack and
break these delicate tissues and set
up a soreness which produce what is
in reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is a
medication which is absorbed and car
ried by the blood so that the diseased
membrane is disinfected, cleaned
