We May Have to Keep White County Prisoners, Too.

Monticello Herald. The county council met in adjourned session yesterday and unanimously decided not to make an appropriation for a neiw jail under the present circumstances. For many reasons it appeared to them that the county could better afford to abandon the old jail and care for its few prisoners in the jails of adjoining counties rather than invest $30,000 or more in a new jail at present. The Herald believes the council has acted wisely.
