Away With That Barn fellow to
Get IL Courthouse,

The demand for Il new courthouse
which will be an ornament to the par
ish as well as giving indication OF the
public spirit aninating our people, is
fast becoming clamorons. Had the
proper representations been given the
Police Jury Monday, we have no doubt
immediate action would have been
mitted and the contract advertised.
There is already about 5000 lying idle
in the Parish and City treasures to-
gether, set aside expressly as a court
house fund, and this years revenue
from the same sources will add to this
fully $4,000 more, giving $4,000 in cash
on hand by the 1st of January. MIR.
J. H. Reinbold, practical architect and
builder, before leaving for France last
winter, drew plan and specifications
of courthouse, adapted in all its pro-
portions to court square and in its in
ternal arrangements to the advanced
needs of public business, and, we are
informed by Mr.. T. Stillman that Mr..
Reinbold expressed himself, on leaving
Monroe, as willing to return at any
time and erect the building for $50, 900,
payable $4,000 in cash, and the re-
mainder in five equal annual INSTALL
ments, bearing interest at a reasonable
rate. Mr.. Reinbold's well-known per-
sonal integrity, his financial ability
and strict compliance with his pledges
amply guarantee his fitness for under
taking the contract proposed by him
self. What remains is, simply the ac
tion by the Police Jury necessary to
select plan and advertise and let the
contract. The requisite funds, under
the plan of Mr.. Reinbold, are even now
being accumulated, and the levy can
be continued without intlicting any
hardship whatever. Let there he i'm.
mediate action.

a millinery store in the brick office lately

visit to this parish WAS in the in.
trrest of his candidacy for Con.

enlargement he received. We
were in his company but a short
time, during which he was chiefly
engaged in expressing his sur.
prise that Gen. King had managed
to get control of tho press of the
District. lie is astOnished that q
man Of Kings intellectual calibre
could so successfully capture and
hoodwink the newspapers all over

that the press does not reflect pub.

King is the choice Of the people,
and he thinks that if he could get

they would drop King and send
Boatner to Washington. The trou.

is that t4o many people think diff.
