TAZEWELL COUNTY
JAIL IS UNOCCUPlED

Tazewell, Va. Jan. 14-For the
first time in many years Gust how
many, the oldest inhabitant doesn't
recollect). the Tazewell County Jail
is empty. The last prisoner left over
from the wet days" was released on
the eth inst. and went on his way
rejoicing.
Sergeant Thompson. of TazeweIi,
reports that since November /. there
has been only one arrest for drunk
enness. and that the town has re-
ceived only 81 in fines for drunken
ness. This remarkable condition in
Tazewell has been brought about, OF
course. by tho prohibitory law, and
has resulted in a great blessing to the
people. And still some folks think
prohibition won't prohibit.
