Visitors will be allowed in the Jail
only on Tuesdays and Thursdays
and then only between 8 and 10
O'Clock, a m. and : and 3p. m. This
precaution is made necessary for the
reason that visitors have taken ad-
vantage OF the liberties given them
and somebody has been passing files
and other prohibited articles TO the
prisoners.
Two prisoners, Bob FuQua, charged
with burglary and larceny, and John
ESsary, who was doing time broke
out of the new Jail at Kennett the
night of April 6 The old story--too
much confidence in the prisoners.
They were allowed the privilege Of
the corridors, il was SO convenient
for a friend TO hand in a file and the
rest was dead easy.
Any person who shall enter a
school house or church while intoxi- ,
