Historically, it was quite common
to have a business supervise the jail.
Since of the
residents of towns shared a strong faith in God; agreed
on standards of right and wrong and kept their families
intact, crime did not have a foothold, and small towns
did not have a great need for jails and full time law
enforcement officials. A business like the
newspaper could easily manage the jail
responsibilities.
The printing
press and equipment came from the Annandale Advocate, the
weekly newspaper which has been printed continuously
since 1889. The press though wired for electricity, is
almost identical to the hand press of earlier times.
Each drawer in the typesetting cabinet holds the
complete alphabet in a different style or
size.
Handbills
and other printing needs were handled by the newspaper
between its weekly printings.
