people need have no fears that the re
cords will ever be lost by fire. The court

kickers can easily kick but II they were
given an opportunity TO duplicate that
building, IN size, convenience, quality

building has cost the tax payers of the
county. All OF their criticism upon the
purchase OF the building Is simply cam
paign wind The hoard Of county com
missioneis deserve much credit for the
careful and successful manner III which
they have handled thla matter. So gen
ernlIy were the people Of the county Sat

fact OF the matter Is that the court house
is already paid Tor with the exception oi
n small portion Of the cost OF fitting II

in the county treasury or In sight nnd
no extra tax levy will be made to pay
any OF the cost. The parties who ara
making this misrepresentation either

considerable ignorance OF county Affairs
