mi tee sent by the Police Jury to
examine the fire and storm proof
vaults for parish records have Wis
ittd Linden, in Cass Co, Texas,
and find very fine vault finished
there, except shelving. The work
is good and substantial; the room
is lC by 20 feet on the inside and 8
feet high: with plenty Of light and
air. 1t is to be filled with iron
roller shelving which will be con.
venient as we'll as preserving.
The cost Is about $4,000 and
the county seems very proud Of
the vault. We also visited Gil
mer, in Upshur county, which had
the nj ;|ortune of having their
courthouse burned down, which
was a brick house with iron roof,
and every way very nearly a mod
ell of ours, in which there was a
$4,000 vault which withstood the
fire with but little damage to the
vault, and noue to the records.
1t will cost about Sc, 600 TO put such
vault in our courthouse as we
would need for the convenience of
officials, and as for myself, l would
not like to tax the people to put
one in without the approval ofthe
thoughtful citizens; neither would
l like to fail to avail ourselves OF
the benefits and securities that
the vault would furnish when
there is being so much corrup-
lion and fraud p,acticed as is be-
ing now. L. A. WATSON.

shivering with fear and cold. Cautiously he
looked around the meadow, and suddenly
stopped, rooted to the ground with horror.

head sat in the moonlight near thcket. He
was pressing both hands to his face, and
