Cali things are possible to him who

But perhaps it does not apply to poor dew

Ia; and who can blame our cell house

eye at the list of cell changes, and you

Strange, that on Tuesdays and Thurs
days, when the inmates are permitted to

proud of such men as Judge Wilson. We
have heard quite few speeches at the old
and at the new prison within the last twen-
ty years, but such splendid heart to heart
talk as he delivered to The Better Farming
Association, last Thursday, we never ever
have heard before
