asked many pertinent interogatores,
but had nothing to say relative TO the
answer of our Commissioners to Mr.
McCoy's queries. Two of tdese Com
missioners state that a petition, signed
| by more than two-thirds of the voters
of this county was presented TO them
for the removal of the county offices.
Now for the facts of the case. The
Commissioners advertised for bids for
rooms for the use of the county for
one year from January LIST, 1875. III
accordance with this two proposals
were rendered, one by the Occidental
Hotel company, at four hundred dol
lars per annum. the other by the Wich-
tia Savings Bank, who rendered the
use of their rooms free for one year.
Mr.. Grifienstien, likewise, offered the
use of Eagle Hall for court room pur
poses, for one year OH the same terms.
Much as two of the Commissioners
desired it otherwise they were bound,
under the terms of their bids. TO ac-
cept The offer of the Savings Bank, and
did so with as much grace as they
could muster under the circumstances.
Now the acceptance off this bid, spread
ing it upon the minutes of the meeting,

always has been aud is still so consid-
cred by every fair minded individual.
The question of the unsafety of the
records had, heretofore, never been
brought into question. Within five
DAYS after the contract was entered into /
between the Commissioners and the |
Savings Bank, petition was circu-
lated to remove the Offices into more /
safe quarters. At the same time two |
other petitions were numerously /
signed throughout the county, one be- |

The Centennial Buildings.

Work Oh the Centennial buildings is
progressing very rapidly. The Memo,
rial Hall is nearly finished. About
half of the frame work of the main
building is up, and the wookmen are
busy with the other half. The brick
work is well advanced, the roof is be-
ing put on, and the sashes placed in
position as fast as possible The ma
sorry of the Horticultural building is
all finished, aud the brick work of the
interior is being pushed forward as
rapidly rs possible. The iron ribs
forming the oval part of the roof are
all up, and it will not be long before
the building is inclosed and ready for
delivery. The Machine building is
nearly completed; the stone work is
finished, the roof is on, and many of
the windows are already glazed. A
great portion of the interior wood
work has been painted, and the strpct-
ure now presents very tasty and
creditable appearance. Work on the
Agricultural Hall has just been COM
menced, but the material is all on the
ground, and the building will be fin
ished in good season.

"The Commissioner of the General

Flat boats for the Arkansas.


William Berkey and 5. G. Winton
are now building a flat beat 12x36 feet
TO be launched on the Arkansas and
loaded with 10000 pounds of -four for
the southern market. If safe voyage
is made, which there is but little doubt
of, number of barges will he built
and loaded with hay and corn this fall.
Hay is worth S25 per ton in some parts
of Missouri and Arkansas, and corn is
quoted at eighty cents 10 81 90 in Mem
phis and New Orleans. The surplus
of grain, nour, etc, will be so great in
this section, that it can be bought very
low, and by using the river for trans
portation, can be carried to market
very cheap. The thousands of acres
of unknown hay can be cut, baled and
shipped. instead of drying oil the prai-
ries, and labor given all who want
work. There has not been one day
this year when small tug boat could
not have navigated the Arkansas by
following the channel, aud as that is
our only outlet, it should be looked to.
