 sheIbys New Court House.
 w. w. Shortridge has returned from a trip to Shelby county. his old home. and reports that county in very prosperous and promising condition.
 In speaking of his trip today he said. Shelby county is in a better condition every way just now than ever before. The farmers have made good crops and are prosperous. They are in fine condi- ton for holding their cotton, and but lI;- tie has been sold so far They are con fident that a reasonable price can be secured by holding the crop and they seem determined to do their part in the general movement
 "The foundations for a new court house for Shelby county are now being built at Columbiana. This building is in tho center of the town and will cost some thing like s10O0o0 when completed. It will be one of the handsomest court houses in the state.
 For many years Shelby county has suffered from a scramble over the county seat, two or three other places in the county desiring it's location. but the erec- tion of the handsome and expensive structure at Columbiana will tend to set tie the quarrel and everybody seems to be better satisfied. Shelby county will have a public building to be proud of when this is completed"
