Mobiles county court house is COM
pleted and has been accepted by the
board of commissioners. From ac-
counts given by the Globe and
Herald at Worthington one would be
led to believe that the court house
was in a dilapidated condition and
read Y to fall down, but the ADVANCE
says it's brothers have lied, and we
are inclined to believe had the struct-
ure been in as bad condition as the
Globe and Herald tried to make it
appear, the commissioners would not
have accepted it.-Kinbrae Herald.
In the language of the Adrian
Democrat the county commissioners
are as competent to judge of the mer-
its of the job as are the two wouldbe
inspectors. The commissioners are
honest meu and men of intelligence.
The spleen of the two whipper-snap-
pers vented upon them does not injure
them in the estimation of the people
of Mobiles county.
