Harrison Couhty's New Court House
Completed.

we CLIP the following from the
Clarksburg Neaos of last week: In
accordance with the announcement
the new court house was formally
received from the hands of the con
tractor last Tuesday evening. The
audience was large, including some
of Harrison's most stalwart sons
and fairest daughters. The event
was most felicitous one, being in
terspersed with happy "reminiscences
of the past, and fattering congratu-
lations for the future Speeches
were INDUCED in by Messrs. A. L.
Hustead, NJ. C. Cooper, Judge Ha-
gans, G. w. L. Mayors, John j. Davis
Ira c. Post and Z. NJ. Homer. If il
were possible, it would be our pleas
ure to give verbatim report of all
that was said, as it was highly cred
liable both to the occasion and to
the participants. We can not refrain
from brief mention of the classic ad.
dress Of Judge Hagans, and the rem
iniscenees of Mr.. Davis. The re-
marks of Judge Hagans made SUI
perb impression upon his hearers
His exhibition of scholarship, to-
gether with his refined manner and
keen perception of the humane and
the just, denote well equipped gen
tleman to discharge the duties of the
office to which a majority of the PEG
pie have assigned him. Mr.. Davis
happily INDUCED eulogistic remem
brance of such stars in the profes
sion as Pindle, Garlic and Harrison
and such ornaments of the Bench as
Duncan, Lee and Camden. 1t is the
most we can say in compliment te
Mr.. Davis that he was at his best
and maintained his reputation as
master of oratory an eloquence. HI
unconsciously entertained the audi
ence for twenty minutes and apollo
gized for not saying more because O
the embarrassment experienced by
the presence of the ladies.
Those who feed the chickens, wielC
the churn dasher, and make it posi-
BILE for man to honor the demand o
the Sheriff for means with which t.
pay for this magnificent building
were CALAMITY represented by stall
wart yeoman from Duck creek
Thos. NJ. Horner does not want i
forgotten that much credit and homo
are due to-the industrious housewife
and while the compliments were be
ing passed around, he wanted tn,
ladies to come in for their share
His points were well received. NJ
horrid man differed from him, ant
the ladies responded with unstintet
applause.
Mr.. A. L. Hustead presented tn
con tractor with some ill-shapet
pieces of timber. One said to be
part of the old court house, an acqui
sition by the flood, and the other
fragment of polished oak furniture
