him are true. There is a hOpeAnd pos

the influence of wine, the probabilities
are that he Will brace up and be man

Senator Jones has a national reputation.
Florida is proud of him, and Milton, the
place OF his first efforts, believes in him.
We believe In him, and II he allows the
newspaper squibs to demOralize him, he
is not the man we take him TO be.
Let him go back to his post in the United
states Senate. and by exercise of those
talents that nave raised him to his proud
position from the work bench OF a machine,
show his traducers that he is the peer of
any member OF the United States Senate,
and that he is capable Of even greater
things than those he has already done.
West Florida expects this of Senator
Jones. Milton, his old home, expects 1t

interests, to his own self-respect, and TO

The ola Conrt Honse.

From the CatAbert tGd.) Enterprise and appeal
Since the old court house IS so soon TO
be deserted by the dispensers of justice,
and will perhaps be razed to mother earth
never again to be erected for even a baser
purpose, IL would not be amiss just now
TO give a bit of its history. Back IN the
tbirties the Superior Courts OF this county
were held in double pen log house about
a mile from the present site ON the Brooks
vile road, near where Judge GeTmley now
0wns a farm. Judge Walter T. Colquitt
presided, and woe to the offender who was
brought before his tribunal. Those ia
miliar with the times speak of him as a
firm and decided man, who enjoyed the
confidence OF the people OF the circuit.
All travelling was done on horseback, and
the Judge would ride around with his
law books and documents in a pair OF
saddlebags thrown across his horse. This
rude seat of justice was owned by Jemes
Ennis. Although the future town Of fCuth-
bert had been located on the plat of level
ground around the spring on the road
side, no provision was made for public
building of any kind. No one took any
interest in the prosperity of the young
town, and aside from an inn, kept by
Ennis, and one or two other cabins for
carrying on a bartering business, nothing
was done towards settlement for some
time. Later the county bought the lot
of land upon which Cuthbert is now
situated, and secured the services
OF Mr., afterwards Judge, o. II.
Griffith, as surveyor, to lay OFF the town.
This was done In very rude manner, a
grape vine being used instead of a chain
for measuring. We are told by friend,
who has kindly furnished us with much
OF our information on this subject, that
while the surveying party were at work
one OF their number shot and killed wild
turkey In an oak tree on the square. The
present court house was begun about 1874,
and the contract was awarded to con-
tractor from Columbus, Ga, for $6, 600. One
half cash on completion, the remainder in
twelve months. IL was constructed OF
brick made on a branch near town, and
they were OF such interior quality that
the building was scarcely finished before
it tumbled over. 1t was claimed also
that the work was poorly done. He re-
ceiVed the first payment, but the second
was repudiated. It was Immediately re-
let to another man for the sum OF $4,000.
The brick were hauled from distance,
except few selected from the ruins of the
first house, and the work pushed TO COM
pletiOn. The judges Of the Inferior Court
overlooked the construction of the present
building, and succeeded In getting a
house which has answered the needs OF
the county, very poorly, however. until
the present. For many years IL has
threatened to fall a second time, but by
careful attention on the part OF the proper
authorities il has been made To weather
the storms for over forty years.
