"Hope deferred maketh the heart

spiritual world
Those who hold claims against. the
penitcntiary hoped to have them paid by
the Legislature.
But the Legislature decided it couldn't
pay it without an issue of bonds. The
bonds were authorized.
After some delay on account of the
courts the committee having the matter
in charge decided to issue the bonds.
Then there was another delay of 30
days to advertise for their sale.
They were sold. but still there was
no money. for the engraverS said it
would take them two weeks longer to
finish and deliver the bonds. Yesterday
was the day on which the bonds were
to be delivered to the State Treasurer;
and the State Treasurer in turn was to
turn them over to the purchaser, who
was here for the purpose of receiving
them. and paying into the State
Treasury the money for them.
