To Have It, or Not.

We see, by the Christian County
(our old homel papers that a stren-
uous effort was on foot for q new
court house at Ozark, the county seat.
Well, it is certainly needed, and il
we lived anywhere in the county
even. at Sparta (unless we were run
ming the News-that would be differ
ent while Joel T. was on deck and
running things) we would be for it.
This editor helped to thrash over all
the old straw years ago in regard to a
new court house, a new county, di.
vision of county, etc., and our con.
cluslon OF the matter is that the coun,
ty sea will remain at Ozark, and if a
new court house is built at Ozari
within the next twenty years it vii
be built by the citizens OF Ozark, anG
paid for by them, unless they car
get rid OF such disturbers OF the peace
as Morris, Bennett, ct al, who arr
so eager to furnish stoands and build
ings free. While we would like to b<
back in Old Chrisiian we would lik,
