Clarke COunty'S Court Room.

An attorney of a Reighboring
county attending the October term
of our Circuit Court, enquired of one
OF onr citizens why the court room
was 50 poorly furnished. He stated
he had always understood that Clarke
WAS a thrifty county, and wondered
that her authorities would not fur
nish chairs for chance visitor to sit
ia. The gentleman was not speaking
for publication. hence the name is
withheld. IF any of our citizens
would make critical examination of
the present condition of the furnish.
ings Ia the court room, and then
object to improvements in this direc-
ton, they must be willing to spoil
Clarke's reputation for thrift aud
hospitality. Our county is advertised
by It's public buildings, where it's
business is transacted, and any in
dictment found against us by visitors,
having found Ition in the condition
of our court room, must of y truth
be found true bill by any impartial
authority. We are glad to note that
our Board of Supervisors have taken
the matter in hand, aud have APP
pointed committee to report on
needed improvements.
