ABOUT HENRY’S CONVICTS.
Under a recent interpretation of
the convict hill, answering cer
tain questions propounded by the
Prison Commission, Attorney
General Hart holds that where a
county fails to work her misde
meanor convicts that said county
will net receive any hire for same.
Can Henry county afford to give
away her pro rata part of the fel
ony convicts and also her misde
meanors? We think not.
The present grand jury is com-1
posed largely of gentlemen resid
ing in the country, whom we feel
sure see the importance and ne
cessity of better roads than we
n>w have. This being the case,
why not recommend to the Ordi-1
nary that he notify the Prison
Commission of Henry’s intention
to work her convicts on the pub
lic roads?
This notice must bo given by
February 10, 1909.
D, D. ELLIOTT LOSES
HOME BY FIRF.
The residence of Mr. D. D. Elli
ott on Key’s Ferry street was
burned early Sunday morning,
the tire being discovered by Murk
Hvrper, colored, just before five
o’clock, in the kitchen.
By the time the alarm was- giv
en and the people got to the resi
dence the whole house was aflame,
aml it was only by heroic efforts
of the bucket brigade that Mrs.
Manley’s and Mrs. Cleve
land's home were saved.
The origin of the fire is not
known, the family having all gone
from home but the oldest son who
was sleeping in one of the front
rooms, who barely escaped from
the burning house. Only a very
few of the household effects wore
saved.
The house was a new one, being
completed about two years, and
worth fully $4,000.00.
Mr. Elliott bad 8*2.000.00 insur
