Whole Story of One Time
SHOW Spot Is One of
Depression.

A fountain that once was the
county's pride and "a thing to show
all courthouse visitors" has become
haven of rest for jobless men.
Scores of wan. weary figures may
be seen, almost any hour, reclining
in the shady hooks of the forSaken
fountain in the north courthouse
yard.
They sit drowsily on its worn
rocks. Their days are melancholy.
They are tired of life but content
Tor fountain of rest"
Sometimes they talk. Their ar
guments are limited, soup kitchens,
Hoover, depression, and kindred
subjects.
Rocks of the fountain, dull and
gray, listen. It's empty basins echo
the sad refrain from their voices.
Goldfish no longer dart through
sparkling waters. Leaves and sticks
are scattered in the pool.
The whole story is one of depres-
sion.
When thieves stole the goldfish in
1929. commissioners couldn't afford
to buy more. Water for the foun-
tain also became expensive. SO, in
keeping with reduction in gc"ern-
mental expenditures, the for1itain
was cut from the courthouse budget.
