A prominent Long Island doctor has
been found after long disappearance

Any octopi which has grown up in

1t is interesting TO note that there are
possibilities for new Obion County
courthouse here at near date. Squires
Bratton, Caldwell and IsbeIl, who were
appointed committee, at the last but
one term Of quarterly court. to look
after the matter OF building two new
chambers to the present building, came
to the conclusion after their calcula-
,tions that such additions 10 a public
building so in need OF repair in every
way and so untitled for the present
work of the county would be waste OF
time and money. The private remarks
,oi the gentlemen concerned must have
been more replete with human interest
than the lengthy document submitted
before County Judge Kenney (strange
how cut and dried some men can be in
matters legal and how pleasantly human
and alive they can be when they get
away from it), who with bis usual
ibroadness, wishes the county to consider
the matter OF building new court
house altogether. The matter will come
up before the next court, and there are
not many who will object to disposing
OF the old Hnsanitary rat hole that
stands as temple OF law for one OF the
leading counties OF Tennessee. What
more fitting memorial to the founders
OF Obion County, and to the spirits OF
those who like the late Judge Lawson
have left imprints Of their good work
for the use OF those to follow, could we
have than better court buiIdingS
