The false and groundless state
ment has been made over and over
throughout the county that, IN 1884
Wayne Ferguson owned barn on
the site where we propose to build
the new court house, aud that the
water reached the second story of
that barn, &c, &c. The truth is,
Wayne Ferguson never owned a
barn or other building on this
ground nor within less than a half
mile of it. Let the truth prevail.
We would ask all who have been
misled by these willfully false state
ments to come TO Ceredo and take a
look at the court house site, and
you will be convinced that it is not
only the highest point on b street "a

never was and doubtless never will
