While Jasper county has enough co-al on hand at the heating plant to last a month or more, it has been thought best in view of the fact that this is at present a rather dull time with the various offices and we will have no more court again until February 11, to reduce the hours in which the offices will be open and thus save perhaps a ton of coal each day. Therefore, the various offices will not open up until further notice until ‘9 o’clock each morning and will close at 4 in the aifternoon. Parties having business to transact at the court house will govern themselves accordingly.
