THE PASSING OF AN OLD
LANDMARK.

There exists in the human mind
unmistakable evidence of love
for things other than human, and
so frequently is this love brought
about by sentiment. The things
that have impressed themselves
upon us in childhood days, cling
fondly to us as the years pass by.
The old Court house, that is now
being torn down, preparatory to
the erection of a magnificent,
commodious, modern building,
may be taken as an example. The
old building has stood the storms
.of The past seventy years, and
many are the changes it has wit
messed in that period. The civil
war left it standing, but during
the reign of the thieves and rob-
bers, it lost portion of its gran
deur, but through this it came
out to be torn down, and replaced
by another. The people of our
county have learned to love the
old building, and its removal
causes the sentimental, at times,
to rise above the spirit of progress
and a sadness comes over us as
we see the old monument of the
county's past, being taken from
our view forever. Every child that
has grown up in the town has the
old court house associated with
his or her life here; and the old
clock, that has tolled faithfully,
though not at all times promptly,
the hours as they went feeting by,
will now be heard no more, and
many are the eyes that will
thoughtlessly cast their gaze in
that direction TO learn the hour
of the day, only to meet space,
and think what has been. We re-
peat again, it is a sentiment that
prompts such feeling, but so soon
is all forgotten, as is all else in
this great world of push and en-
ergy.
While the old Court house stood
as monument of the past, just
so will the new building stand as
u beacon light to the future prog
ress and prosperity of our town
and county. It's erection is the
beginning of a new era in our
county's history, and our town,
so long a moss-back, is pregnant
with new life and energy, and this
edifice is to be model for the
future up-building of Woodville.
New enterprises arc springing up
in this town, and with such thrift
ty and energetic denizcns, new in
habitants are certain to be attract.
ed here. New life. new energy
and new ideas, brought us an ele-
giant, modern court house, and the
same activity will bring us a new
town in future.

They charged the Board with en-

the building of bridges and other
similar cases. One member was in

The duties devolving upon members
of the Board of Supervisors, nee

Importance, and upon it largely de-
