Why do the preachers insist on
making liars out OF women by retain
ing the 'obey'' clause in III marriage
contract?
Why is a woman with four feet OF
hair on her head expected to keep her
hat on at an indoor gathering when
a bald headed man is expected to take

A woman can get almost as much
pleasure out of crying as a man can
get out of laughing.
Another reason why a horse Is cred

Committee of the Whole.
January Is, 1919.
At 10:45 the entire Board visited the
Municipal Court and the County Jail
and Sherif's Home for the purpose of
inspection and to see what was need
ed in regard to immediate repairs in
said buildings.
Tn the Municipal Court the Honor
able Judge Tully called the attention
of the Board to part of the ceiling
in the Court Room. There is no doubt
but what this ceiling should be re-
paired at once.
AS regards the County Jail and
Sheriff s Home it seems imperative that
some painting, paper hanging and re-
pairs on the front porch are necessary
at this time to put the building in
shape for two more years and to i'm
prove the sanitary conditions in said
dwelling. 1t is also found that some
new dishes and other utensils must be
purchased in order to take care of the
prisoners properly. Otherwise, the
building was found to be very yell
taken care Of as far as cleanliness
was concerned.
After being treated to a round Of
good cigars by the new Sheriff, the
Board returned to the Court House and
the Committee of the Whole was dis
charged.
