NEW COURTHOUSE.
Judge Harris says the docket Of the
district court in this county is so crowded
that dual court is q necessity, and the

house will be sufficiently commodiods
and convenient for this county for some
time to come. The finances OF the
county are in excellent condition and II
will only be q short time until the mat

house in Texas can be taken up. 1t Will
take two years TO build the magnificent
temple of justice proposed, and 1t there
