The courthouse fence needs painting bad
ly, and we hope the county court will have
the matter attended to. If that tribunal
profits by experience it will hardly let the
job to the lowest bidder, but rather to
good mechanic and an honest man at fair
compensation. That pays in public as in
private business.

Judge Emerson's card announcing his
withdrawal from the race for Circuit Judge,
is published on the first page Of this paper
It is seIf-eXplanatory, and comment would
be superf1uous. He has been very sick for
, week past-confined to his room--and the
withdrawal was rendered absolutely neces-
