that somebody's eloquence has induced the
County Commissioners to authorize the re-
painting and carpetng of the Orphans Court
room.
Whether the absence of paint or the need
of a carpet has ever been observable before
we know not, but many people have observed
that the handsome and grand old emblem of
our country glory on the Court House Cupola
Is IN worse shape than the Orphans Court
room. Have we not somebody patriotic
