1t has been suggested that the
question of erecting new court
house be submitted to the quail
fed voters of this county at the next
election. Have tickets with court
house and no court house printed
thereon, and when the vote is count

Those who do will want additional

not willing to be further taxed, and
are satisfied with the old building
for the present.
