in other parts OF the land.
1--WE want To say that all the judges
of the state are proud of this new
building and of the improved facilities
and comforts il affords in the disposition
of the public business. Aud our nppre-
citation is not Tor the court house alone,
hut also for the bar. the county otli-
cials. the general public who are often
present, and especially Tor the jurors
and witnesses who are compelled to at
I tend the courts. Because of such com
( pulsiou they are entitled To be made
more comfortable while away from their
+ homes. and under present conditions
such comforts may be enjoyed, which
could not be- before.

liar pleasure in these Improvements be-
