those very men believe what they say
would they be rushing from one end OF
the County to the other and expanding
large sums OF money to head of our Pc

they need not trouble themselves; let
them sit still, keep their money In their
pockets, their horses In their stables and
their tongues in their mouths, and let US

they work night and day. and by their
actions show that they know the "repre-

Citizen. for your interest in our well be-

not trouble about this, since they are not
asked to abandon old or accept new
buildings, till they have good title to

the question OF whether our representa-
tons and promises are verified or not.
comes up? Then will be time enough to
ask these questions. 1.-The Court House
on Paris Hill has recently been thoroughly
repaired on the outside including neW

records OF the County Commissioners
will show that either the outside or inside
has been repaired nearly every year for

be done every year in the future. Citizen
