showing that kaufman people had

then said the Jail and court eouse was
good enough TO last them 20 wears,
and they would pledge that neither

The court house would follow
neither did tho Kaufman people inter-
pose to prevent IL. Now, in The face
OF all this, Colonel Slaughter had told
the people ''the old Structure was
sound; 10 was good enough and Mr..
Adams had said to the people OF tho
county as to the bond Terrell executed,
"he did not believe IL would be pald.n

Adams, you can get check for it on

in favor OF removal.
Next was Colonel Hill, who, in his
metaphysical style, philosophical and
metapnorically treated the questions
at issue. His firmly drawn figures
utterly failed to carry any weight.
Hon. w. H. Allen, in happy style,

viewed tho positions assumed by
Colonel Slaughter, and was frequently

up with the "troo is barren and I'M
fruitful" Whey had failed TO improve
the trust, and the same law that COM
mitied tho court house 90 Kaufman,
