A Bare Court House.

1t is quite likely that number OF our
citizens noticed that the Court House
was not decorated with the national flag
last Saturday. This omission was not on
account OF any lack OF patriotism or any
lack of effort on the part OF Sheriff
Mackerly. The fact is there is no flag
belonging. to the county that is really in
condition to be lung to the breeze.
Yet the feeling that the patriotism oi
Washington should be remembered by
display of the flag caused the Sheriff
to make considerable effort to arrange
matters SO as to show that the memory
of Washington was not forgotten. But
the fact is that the old county flag can
neither be patched nor darned.
