The new man is an up-to-date hotel man and will keep the hotel up to its present high standard. Hon. D. R. Jones, commissioner from the third district, has announced his withdrawal as a candidate for renomination. The move is probably well advised as there is a prevailing sentiment among the people he represents that he has played fast and loose on the court house question. In the last week’s Pilot an error was made in stating that the legal limit for bonding the county to build a new court house was two per cent. The limit is but one per cent. The law which was supposed to admit of a two per cent bond issue was a special act to enable White county to complete a building already begun. And it furthers the opinion of good attorneys that it is a violation of law for the commissioners to begin a structure that cannot be fully paid for by the proceeds of such one per cent indebtedness.

One Minute Cough Cure touches the right’spot. It also touches it at the right time if you take it when you have a cough or cold. See the point? Then don't cough. A. F. Long, Druggist.
