Final Report.

To Hon. Jno $. Il. Cowan. Judge OF the
County Court:
AS Commissioners Of Public Build
ings appointed ut the July term, 1897,
beg leave to report that have to the
best of my ability attended to the
duties required of me in all things per-
tanning TO the erection of the Court
house. o: the several plans submitted
Tor my inspection and approval,
after careful consideration the plans
OF Architect G. l.. Thompson was ac.
cepted. After complying with legal
requirements | advertised for bids for
building said Court house, and of the
BIDS submitted | found the bid of G..
W. Clark To be the lowest and best. lis
DID being twenty-three thousand. six
hundred and ninety eight 1873 69s COZ
dollars. The highest bid being twenty
nine thousand, seven hundred and
fifty ts29.750 OO) dollars. | therefore
closed the contract and accepted the
bid of the said Z. w. Clark. And from
time to time during the progress OF the
work on SAID building | approved the
estimates of the architect. e.. l..
thompson, for work done on said
Court house to the amount of the con.
tract price of twenty-three thousand.
SIX hundred and ninety-eight tS23 ,69s)
dollars. 1t is my pleasure to report
That L did not have to change the con-
tract price of said building to the ex.
tent eft one cent. feel sure that the
contractor has done us good, honest
job and in good, workmanlike manner.
Too much credit caunot be bestowed
upon the architect of the building, e..
IL. Thompson, for the beautiful and
excellent plans prepared by him. and
take this method of expressing my
thanks to all concerned for the cordial
cooperation extended To me. | can
truthfully say that at times all WAS not
sunshine, but obstacles OF a grave
character had at times to be met and
surrounded.
If the building erected meets with
the approval of critical public it will
In large measure compensate me for
the time and trouble bestowed by me
in this labor Of love, for surely the
county needed IL Court house and a
safe place to protect the records of the
county, and l respectfully submit this
as my final report.

DEAR MOTHER: Received your vel
come letter several days ago but did
not have any stationary just then.
This morning is the first opportunity
have had to write for week.
| have been with the heavy artillery
for two weeks, four companies of my
regiment were transferred 10 the artil-
lery.
The colonel of my regiment and Gov.

pose they succeeded and that We Will
move back to our old camplng-grounds
tomorrow. l regret very much that
we shall have To 90 back. for had We

Several hundred wounded soldiers
came in last night who took part in the
Santiago fight. Several soldiers with
whom l became acquainted while in
camp here. were killed in the battle
before Santiago de Cuba.
Camp life is all right. though very
monolonuus. Usually there is some
a
or joke on some poor fellow that
must he indusiriously circulated. Some
uf the boys play the fiddle while others
dance, and all things considered We get
along very we'll.
All the troops that are here are anx-
ious TO go To the front. There are
about six or seven thousand soldiers
here now.
Every thing is uncertain. There
seems to be more money-makiDg
schemes afoot than there is actual war
in operation.
WAS sorry indeed to hear OF Joe
Sanders death. he was u splendid
young man.
How is young Rollwage getting
along? [ sincerely hope he is not seri.
ously injured.
We had two men killed while load
ing a large canon on the car. They
were buried on the 4th of July. and
our celebration consisted of a funeral
procession. with three volleys over the
grave of each of our dead comrades.
Two or three days afteward one OF
the graves was opened. the body taken
out, and it and the caskrt burned ut
the head or the grave. The autlIoli-
ties have AS vet failed To find the per-
petrators OF this ghoulish deed.
| will have some pictures taken as
soon as We get this months pay. We
have received only our campaign suits
and | shall not send the pictures until
have something better.
Really the United States was about
AS well prepared for war as its popula-
tion is for the Judgment day.
| shall write YOU every week. whether
| hear from you or not. With love Ia
