In the New Jail.
Deputy Sheriff ami Jailer Tom
Singletary moved into the new jail
yesterday morning. The reporter,
accompanied by Sheriff Hurst, was
shown through the ucw structure. It
is neat as a pin, fire proof, so con
structed that it is impossible, under
ordinary circumstances, for a prisoner
to escape from the steel cage on the
second floor. It can be made warm
in winter, heaters being placed
throughout tnc building, mid it .is
thoroughly ventilated, making it
with its concrete floors, delightfully
cool in summer. If a fellow gels in
there, he is there to stay.
The reporter enjoyed the sensation
of being locked in, but lie Applied at
once to the sheriff lor a habeas corpus,
which was promptly granted,
and the scribe released on his own
recognizance. The hit will soon be
enclosed with a high palisade, and
none will he allowed to enter the en
closure without the knowledge and
permission of the jailer.
The prisoners confined in the jail
at present, are Mattie Johuson, who
is charged witli assault with intent to
minder; Neal Blackshear, charged
with burglary, and Jim Davis with
carrying concealed weapons and dis
turbing public worship.
The latter, when asked if lie did
not like his present quarters, better
than the old one, naively replied:
“To tell the truth, boss, I doesn’t
like either.”
All the prisoners are confined on
the fiist floor. j
Parties charged with grave offences I
will occupy the cage above.

A Sunday Morning Poem
Kditor Times -Kntkrprisf :
l copy from my scrap book the fol
lowing beautiful poem for Sunday
morning’s paper, if you will be so good
as to publish it. it has often been a
source of inspiration to me, and,
doubtless, to others. To many of your
readers, it is familiar; to others, it is
not. All will enjoy it and be profit
ed l hope, by reading it over again.
Indeed, we shoul do well to commit it
to memory and then award it a place
in our scrap books. The author is
not known, but that does not matter.
I send it to you with the sincere hope
and earnest yrayer that it may prove
a great blessing to us all.
