In justice to agent G. B. McRae
we mention that the allowance made
by she board of supervisors All the
July term for fire insurance on the
court house, was for a five-year
policy which puts that building in
the protected class for the next five
wears so far as danger and damage
from flames is concerned, which is a
wiseiprovlsion as several court houses
have gone up in smoke in Mississlp-
ri ia late years on which there was
no insurance and hence were a total
loss to the counties involved.
