totthe new court house. The UNI
warranted and uncalled for assaults,
strange to relate, appeared simultan-
eously, stamping them at once as
preconcocted and premeditated ef-
fort to injure the town and county.
1.-THE circulation Of the statements
was confined solely to those publica-
tons no harm could come of them,
but they will probably be copied in
to other papers, thus giving them
some standing. The building of the
court house has been going on for
some months and the work has been
daily viewed by scores of our people,
who unhesitatingly pronounce it al
first class job from basement to dome.
And now two men, neither of whom
has the ability to pass judgment
upon any building, much less one of
such proportions as the court house,
condemn it; and for WHAT Sim
ply to cast reflections upon Mr.. Palm
who has been active in securing this
magnificent structure for Worthing-
ton and Mobiles county. Mr.. Palm,
however, is too we'll and favorably
known to be injured by the snarls
of any one. The ADVANCE has taken
pains to inquire among our citizens
their opinion of the building, and
with one accord they pronounce it
splendid job, and a credit to the
town and county, and the men who
have been instrumental in securing
this fine structure are entitled to the
thanks of the people. The work has
been we'll done-not building in
southern Minnesota stands on it's
foundation better today than does
the Mobiles county court house, and
those who would detract one iota
Of the credit due the builders will
not receive encouragement from the
fair minded people of the county.
Their purpose is simply to injure in
dividuals; they know the court house
is completed in the best possible
manner, that the material used is of
the best, and the workmanship can
not be excelled.
The board of county commission
ers met on Tuesday and accepted
the new structure.
