CARTHAGE, ILL.,, Feb. 13.-Carthage
has entertained number of visitors
the past few days, representatives of
the claimants against the Superior
Construction Co, the firm which built
the new court house, meeting with the
building committee, in an effort to
complete final settlement of affairs.
The attorneys for the Bonding COM

the architect were also present. 1t
will be remembered that the Superior
Construction Company which was Civ
en- the contract for tle new building,
failed. The building committee had
reserved from the contractors about
$4,000. When the company failed, this
amount was insufficient to satisfy the
creditors of the contractor. At the
recent meeting, while no papers are
as yet signed, it is understood that
basis of settlement was reached and
agreed upon, and the matter is ended.
The claimants have agreed, it is stat
ed to apportion the amount remaining
in the building fund amongst them,
just what per cent it will pay is not
known. Citizens generally are well
pleased at the amicable adjustment of
the matter.

his loving wife and devoted daughter,
Mrs. George G. Hubert of Holyoke,
Mass. who has been visiting here for
some time. They fully realized the Sc
rious condition of Mr.. Matthias even
though he had been sick only short
time.
Although quite advanced in years he
had always enjoyed excellent health,
even more so than the ordinary man of
his age. His late sickness was really
the only severe sickness he had known
for some time.
