soNEHSEr, Ky, July 2sht, 1873.
Il is, indeed, remarkable for week 10 pass
without the occurrence II something in Som
crset 10 create sensation or unusual excite
mcnt, but we are compelled to set the past
week dovn as a blank, and more to our sur
prise We have not received single report
from the country out Of which to shape an
item, except that which we will call court
house rumor, Of which we will speak, as we
must endeaver to make our column o. inter
esting a. possible, while our list Of Pulaski
subscribers contnues 10 incrrase-but without
a subject the disccting knife IL uscles-, and
the pen a harmless instrument even in the
hands Of an experienced writer; in short, we
can not get something out Of nothing.
When the protractod meetings closed, that
same dull monotony rcappeared and nothing
TO break il now, save the workman's hammer
as he shapes the mighty rock for our
NEW coURr-HoUsE.
The building Of which Is an evidence Of coun-
ty pride and shows a proper spirit ofimprove-
ment, and we are looking TO its speedy com
pleiIon with the greatest anxiety, and we trust
that it will prove an cd6ce ofsuch workman
ship and architecture. TO which every citizen
Of our county can point with pride, notwith-
standing the dissatisfaction which at present
prevails amongst that class Of individuals
who are informed, or, in other words, misin-
formed, as to the duties, responsibilities and
labors incumbent upon the building commit
tee aud how and in what manner they are to
receive compensation for their services. To
act few distempcred minds at rest, we will
inform them that neither member Of said
committee has knowledge Of the amount
he will receive for his services, as this is a
matter solely within the province Of the coun-
~ court TO determine when the building is
completed, then il will be left TO their sound
Judgment and discretion to make an allow
ance, taking into consideration their time, ser
vice, economical management and saving td
the county.
We are aware that many erroneous impres
pressions have been made by thoughtless per
sons, without considering the consequences
upon the minds Of the over-credulous and
those who are ever ready to catch at even
shadow that they may think Is passing by fol
the benefit Of a town citizen. We learn that
many Of our citizens have been made believ'
such absurd and preposterous reports as tn
following: That the building committo'
had ordered sand from Lake Michigan and
superior lot Of hair from Russia for plasterinl
purposes that the cupalo was to be lit u
with gas-at an enormous cost per annum 4
thecounty-that the town loafers might see tn
time Of night that the building COMMITTEE
was receiving every Saturday evening from
seven to ten dollars per day each for merel
overseeing the hands, and Jim. Sahdiier woul
be allowed one thousand dollars per annur
for his services in attending to and windin
up til, clock" and many otherof like ehaI
acter manufactured for the sole purpose {
having little fun at the expense Of certai
individuals, who make frequent visits to ou
town TO catch the wild street rumo
shame upon the man who is so lost to commo
sense and good reasoning as to believe sue
foolishnes-. And we would advise all to
