The commissioners court, which met on last Monday to open the bids for building 
the Jail, awarded the contract to H. W. Bendy, Jr., who bid two thousand eight 
hundred and ninety-nine dollars. The Jail to be built of brick, according to the 
specifications. To secure the building according to contract the court required a 
bond, with good and sufficient security, in the the [sic] sum of four thousand 
dollars. Jails as a rule are not considered oraments [sic] to a town, but we hope 
to see the one erected in Jasper, approach as near the ornamental as is consistent 
with the greatest strength.
