Club Women Take Over
Old Prison In Town
Homerville, Ga.(U.R) There
aren't many towns where club
women are In Jail as regularly as
here.
The women use the old prison
for their club house and it's a far
cry from the barren old building
of past days.
Attractively spaced ivy grows
up the outside walls, curtains
are strung across the grim win
dow bars and the cells have been
painted and refurnished.
Many a tombstone is created
by chiseling in traffic.
