I SOKKY, BIT CAN T HELP IT. j We understand that one of our good friends is very much angry with us on account of what we said about the! iocation of tbe jail, and has even gone so far as to remark that The Herald end News can never again enter the door of the dwelling. We are sorry, but we can't help it. We rather! thought after reading what we had written that it was rather too much! of an apology for what we did say.! We have absolutely, no personal in-; terest in the matter. We have no lotto ojler for the aew site, and we do aot want to purchase the present -site j even at a sacrifice price. So far as we were informed all the people who urere offering sites vere personal tfriende and should know that wei kave no desire to do them any in-j . - 1 i injury. We have no personal inter-j est in the people who live and own! residences adjoining any of the pro-i posed new sites. We did not mention i i any of the proposed new sites or un-? dertake to say which of them in ourj opinion was the most desirable, j tfcoagh we have said so privately and! would not mind saying so publicly in j the paper, but did not because we did j not want to have th# apeparance of ! trying to influence in favor or agaiasti t on v tha nrnrv>v#*d Wp did i cay that we thought it would foe a j mistake to change the location from the present site. We desire to re-1 , *>eat that opinion, and we .think there are good and sufficient reasons why! it would be a mistake to change the; location. One. the additional expense! it would entail. Another, none of! the sites offered gave as much land as the county now owns. Another, it' as not desirable to have the jail on. one of the most prominent streets of; the city. We did not mention this j Bor the injury it would do to the residential property adjoining. A jail is not a desirable place, ex-i v^cept to the jailer or the sheriff I! ! IB not a building you would care to fcave adjoinicg your residence. Notj that there is any objection to the; sheriff or the jailer as a neighbor/ Let us ask our friend, who is offend-! ed abou* our contention to let the jail remain where it is, how he would; like for his neighbor to sell the lot ; adjoining his residence and have the i county erect t%e jail on it. He, n.ii-j ^ dpubt, would think it tin outrage.; "What's the difference, only it's the, other fellow who happens to live next door. Now, we did not mention any j 1 of these things 5n what we said, buti, ? 4 {placed our position on the ground ^ that the county % had ample grounds j and a good location at the present i, property and that the jail should bei' built right there. That's all there's j< to it That's what we think. And we $aid it as gently as we could.!' Sorry if it displeased any one, but; cant help it. We feel it our duty to; eay what we did and we said it. It; may have influence or it may n~>t.' That is not our concern. . j ( x 0. McR Hoiuies hi l-Vawe. ^ ! Yery interesting news spread over j the city Saturday just a'fter it had be-1 < come known that Mr. R. McC. Holmes' \ bad received -word that Ow^en Holmes J was among the arrivals in France of the United States marines. Th folflowing message to Mr. Robert Holmes will 'he read with a great deal | of interest by the citizens of this j * community: "Word has just been received of: the safe arrival in Europe of Owen j' TTmito^ \T-arinA i -Corps. As his next of tin you will i co doubt "be glad to lecrn that he has , crossed the ocean safely, and that he j' is now ready to fight that "the worldj: may be made safe for democracy." j You are no doubt very proud of the-' fact that he is serving in France. J You probably will be pleased to put ' the card we are sending you in your i front window. It will distinguish your home from others in the neigh- { borhood. It means that a man from [ 4 your home is giving his all to his! 1 country. ** C-i w/java! tf "Captain U. S. M. C." "Captain U. S. M. C. j ] It 'was known to only a limited j Btunber that young Holmes had en-i listed, so quietly did he proceed,! Some people thought he had just gone! ] off on a visit, as he kept his own i < counsel. Hence it was a big piece ofi i surprising news to many when they ; heard that "Owen Holmes is in ] / France." Now that he is there, with| 1 others 'before and more to follow, the j 1 news from that country will be watch- j i ?d fan with eagerness by many in! 2NteT*toerry. Death of Mrs. J. Q. Whitman.
