NEW PDSTNIISTRESS
TAKES CHARGE HERE.
Although the appointment OF Miss

Although the appointment OF Miss
Nathalie Patton 10 the Office Of post
mistress at Malta was confirmed by
the senate some time ago as was
first announced through the columns
OF this paper, Miss Patton did not
receive her official commission until
| Friday last. The final transfer was
made Sunday and Monday when Mr..
Mr. st. Hill retired and the new Of
ficial commenced signing money or
derS with the first ones issued on May
| Sth.
Mr.. st. Hill retires after continu-
GUS service for the government here
since April 10th, S9S, and was post
, master since 1912, when r. w, Gar
land resigned in favor OF Mr.. St. HILL
who had been his able assistant for
SO many years. During all this time
Fred st. Hill was ever accommodate
ing and ready to serve the many pa
irons of the office smilingly although
OF late years the business has in
creased to great extent. little
record of what has transpired during
the service of Mr.. St. Hill will be in
teresting at this time. The first
quarterly report sent in by the retir-
ing official was for the quarter end
ing September 80, 1898, and was for
the sum of $14S.S7. The money or
der report for orders sold for the
month ending the same date was
$112.14. The last quarterly report
made out by Mr., st. Hill for the quar-
ter ending March 80, 1916, showed
the business to amount to $2,174.30
and the money orders issued in April
1916, amounted to S6.237 90 This
big increase in business will make
the Malta office a second class office
in July, 1916, and increase the sal
AIRY of the postmistress to $4,000.

HONOR SYSTEM IN VOGUE.

The editor Of the Call says in his
last weeks issue, the honor system
is in vogue IN the country's largest
prisons, and would infer that the
same system is working in the Phil
lips county jail under the guiding
hand OF Sheriff Shaw. He makes
this comment after an article ap-
Deared In The Enterprise telling OF
the escape OF a trusty a week or so
ago, In an endeaFOr to clear the
skirts Of the democratic candidate
for sheriff at the coming election.
He refers to the prisoner who made
his getaway, as a boy but at the
time Of the robbery which sent MIN
up for SIX months 40 reference was
made to his childlike character
1t might be interesting TO the
public to know just how long this
honor system has been working in
the county Jail in Phillips county
just since the present incumbent ot
the sheriM's office has thrown his hat
in the ring for another term. y
short time ago prisoners We're con-
fined in the cage at ali times and the
instructions were to keep them
there. When a certain man was III
jail and was afterwards released by
a jury, it took an order from Judge
Utter to let him out in the sunshine
Another one in Jail on a petty OF
fense, and mere boy, something
like eighteen or nineteen years oi
age, put in his time in the cage un-
der instructions Of the sheriff
Does this look like honor system
and that "Sheritf Shaw's effort tc
treat the men in jail squarely is in
deed commenda able?''
There are several little stories
coming from men who have served
time III jail that might be highly in
teresting since the SO called honor
system has been in vogue We have
a nice one up our sleeve about the
rotten Goldfish and the hoiler on thu

it would be very unwise act to
force trial at latter date. The re-
