Morocco Drunk Spending a Few Days in Our Jail.

A man named Gelles is the only prisoner at the Jasper county jail. He is a Newton county citizen, having been sent here from Morocco, where he had been fined for intoxication. He has a wife and four children and Sheriff Hoover thinks he is a willing worker, but a victim of the booze habit. It would be a fine thing if his jail sentence serves to correct his noodle so that he can abstain from drinking and give his family the benefit of his labor.
