addition to his residence north of
the court house, increases the size
of his parlor to 14x32 making it one
Of the most elegant parlors in the

J. Il. PRENDERGAS
orr genial Nasty also constructed a
building for the accommodation of
the Post Office which is 20xt0 in
size, II foot posts, all of good ma
tcrial, at a cost of 500 round dollars
with the great American buzzard OH

THE COURT HOUSE VAULT
is another improvement for 1885.
1t is 12x16 outside dimensions, with
a "a foot basement wall of stone.
The outside wall is of brick, II
inches thick, the inside wall 4 in
cheS thick with a inch dead wall
between the two. The roof is an
arch of brick with walls and dead
air space same as side walls. On
side next to building, in the south
west corner, will be two iron doors
opening into the registers office.
On the inside shelves, pigeon holes
etc., are to be made for the accom-
mediation Of al the records of the
county. The constant danger of
the destruction of the records by
fire, made ti.is OUTLAY absolutely
essential for the protection of these
valuable records of the peoples
property and We believe the tax
payers will think the 5000 it cost,
well spent.
