The County jail now has 42 prisoners, and many capiases yet to be issued, besides the Christ mas xionuays nave to be ac- V counted for. Our present County jail was not designed for such a strain, besides it is about as poorly ar ranged as any jail we ever saw, for a few prisoners. Uncle Munk will be looking for another job to supervise, after the New Road Law is enacted, and he could find ample enter tainment for his talents if he would take it into his head to build us a new and up-to-date jail. Let the building extend back to the rear of the present lot, with two els or a T running north and south. Let the ground floor be designed for a work nouse, ana let tne two upper floors be made wide enough for cells or apartments on either side with a hall-way or aisle leading down the center. Fix each cell with bunk and closet, and then each individual prisoner could be kept separate and apart, and the working prisoners could be domiciled in the cells at nights and on holidays. A special term of Criminal Court is almost a necessity, and Governor Glenn should have one convened by the middle of Jan uary at the latest, in order to re lieve the present situation. It will be Febrnary before the regu lar Criminal Court is called, and if a few more are sent to jail, Dr. Hanner will have to tie them out. No Guide Next Week. No Guide will be issued next week. The boys and girls will take a few days off. On January 4th the paper will appear, and if our friends will aid us next year we hope to make the Guide even better than it has been. Our friends can aid us by sending in clubs of new sub scribers to start off the new year. And every subscriber should see that his account is balanced with out waiting "or a bill. A Great Danger to Our Country. There can be no doubt that one of the greatest dangers to our country comes from foolish die plays of wealth in our cities and at fashionable resorts, which tend to constantly embitter the poor against the rich, and to lead ev entually to the danger of placing the power of our countrv in the hands of those who will make property and life and the contin uation ot It publican inststutions in great peril. The irreat remedy tor the perpetuation of our free government and the safety of our institutions lies in a general, wide humane education which shall make the rich kinder to the poor and the poor kinder to the rich, and the sooner this education can be carried into all our colleges and schools the easier it will be to silence a spirit of anarchy which is last growing. How to got Married. Many of the young people do not understand the new matrimo nial law of the State. Little Mack having just passed under the line, has gone on the stand. The first thing in order is to get the girl in the notion. The next thing is to get the old folks straight, if the girl happens to be under 18 In all cases, when you apply for licenses, have a competent witness to swear that the girl is over 18, and if she is not then bring the written con sent of the parents of the girl. Bv keeping theso rules the stork will be a special patron of your new homes. After being talked of for over two hundred years, a canal eighty miles long is to be built across Cape Cod from Buzzard's Bay to Sandwich on Barnstable. It will cost ten million dollars and will be completed inside of two years. August Belmont fc Co. will build it. It is rumored that an option has been secured on the C. B. Watson lot, corner Trade and 6th, the object being a new to bacco warehouse. On Monday morning about 0:30 a man stepped into a drug store in Atlanta, Ga., and took a drink of Soda. At 11:30. he died in convulsions.
