Augusta Wednesday after completing
a large contract for the Register of
Deeds. Every one of the record
books, some 800 volumes in all, has
been given a new covering of light
colored canvass to protect the bind
ings, and twenty of the older rec
ords were rebound throughout In
addition to the new covers, numbers
have been placed lengthwise on the
back, so that as the books lie fiat in
the racks, the numbers come into the
natural position for reading. On the
index volumes the years have been
printed in the same way, an i'm
provement that will be appreciated
by those who have occasion to con-
suit the records frequently. The
total expense to the county Is about
$3.50, and the satisfaction with
which Register Benner shows up the
improvements indicates faith that full
value was received.
