Madison county has had four court houses. The first was built in 1887 -38 at a cost of S15O, and was made of hewed logs, with the cracks not chinked or daubed and the benches and tables rested on the bare ground. The next was builtin 1845, and was of brick; and cost about S4, 4,0O0. It was burned 1863. In 1868 S10, GOO was appropriated to build another court house which was to have been built of stone, 4Ox6O feet, but, unfortunately, when it came to letting out the contract the bids exceeded the appropria- ton by nearly S2,0O0 New plans had to be made and aframe build ing was erected at a cost of about S4,600, which was paid in county scrip, worth 9 cents on the dol lar, and entailed an indebtedness of S16,O00, on the county.

MRS. ULYSSES s. GRANT, whose death occurred last week, was born on the White Haven farm, near St. Louis, Jan. 26, 1926 Her fa- ther Colonel Frederick Dent, was a planter with an estate by no means large, but with high social pietentions. He was the son of that Captain George Dent who led the forlorn hope at Fort Montgomery when stormed by Mad Anthony Wayne. Mrs. Grants life, filled with reflected honors as 1t was, reached no higher points than she had be- lieved even in the beginning Of her welded life her husband was des- tined to bring her to. It's romance started when her parents opposed her marriage to the quiet, plain young-lieutenant of the army. 1t had It's trials when the husband was compelled to live across the
 htinent, 2,000 miles from home. Vt had even more grieyious trials during the harsh days of the gen eral s struggle to maintain himself in private life. Butt was tinged with glory when the husband became general of his country's armies, the man on whom, next to the president himself, all the eyes of the county centered, and it was crowned with abiding honors in the later days of General Grants presidency.
