Monday was the time set for ths sale of the new court house bonds, but not a single bidder appeared nor was there a proposal received from any source for their purchase. The reason was not hard to determine-. Three and a half per cent, bonds are a drug on the market and there is no demand for them at the present time. It seems practically certain now that the bonds will be raised to four per cent and they have assurances that such bonds will sell easily and bring a premium.—Lebanon Reporter.
