LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

There seems to be considerable
dissatisfaction among a large
number of taxpayers over the ac-
ton of the board of county com
miss:oners in awarding the con-
trac: for the new court house to
Brady Sharpe. Mr.. Sharpe's bid
of 50, 10000 was the lowest bid
made, and because of it being
three hundred dollars lower than
any other bid it was accepted by
the commissioners However, it
is argued by Il considerable num-
ber of people that Mr.. Sharpe's
reputation as a builder would not
entitle him to tho award of the
contract, and that the commits
sioners would have been justified
in accepting Mr.. Ludwig's bid of
50, 10000 even though this bid is
three hundred dollars higher than
the one accepted. 1t is impossi-
BILE for any man, or body Of men,
to please everybody and if MIR.
Sharpe succeeds in giving "a bond
for the faithful performance of
the contract which is satisfactory
to the commissioners there need
be no cause for alarm that the
contract will not be performed.
Up to the present time MIR. Sharpe
has not succeeded in securing
such bond, and he has been al
lowed unGil next Monday to pro
cure it.
