We have it from good euthority that the Supervisor, when appearing before tbe grand jury, stated that a supply of water for the jail oonld be gotten by sinking a force pump at a cost of lees than $200.00. lu tact, a considerable amount of money, put how much we oan not say, has already been expend ed in erecting a tank over the court house and piping.

There was no term of oonrt in the Spring of 1907. At the sommer term, 1907 f the well was under way and tbs contract made.
