AIatter from IaII.

a very pathetic little letter came 70
ne this morning from one Of the pris.
oners in the county jail. She says the
saddest day in all the year has come
because the best TAILOR in the state OF
west Virginia has left. She says
everybody will have the blues Tor the
next year because Of it. The letter
IA one OF those stumbling expressions
b the heart and gives one a very fair
idea Of how badly one little woman
feels about It. Eve y prisoner in jail
was attached to Tailor Buckley. Not
4 man or woman connected with the
Mace says other than that Jailor Buck
ley had q way about him-a gentle
sympathetic way with prisoners-a
way Of getting along with everybody.
Sadness indeed reigns in the Jail to-
day.
