The Way They Do in Benton.

Benton Review: Last Friday the county commissioners examined bids for heating the court house by steam. Six bids were presenteq, the figures running from $1,330 to $2,000. The contract was given to Wallace Bros. Co., of Lafayette. They agree to put in fixtures to heat all of the offices and other rooms of the building to 70 degrees and the hall 60 degrees during coldest weather, for $1,330, and to give bond to faithfully fulfil the terms of the contract. The commissioners are to withhold payment of 25 per cent of the contract money until next March in order to fully teat their work. Bring your buggy, wagon and harness wants to Judy and The Lief Buggy Company and they will supply you. They have the material and ability to do it.
