Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 March 1898 — Bring Back The Marble. [ARTICLE]

Bring Back The Marble.

The doors of the court house were opened again Sunday afternoon, and next morning it was discovered that a large number of small pieces of marble, needed to complete the finishing of some of the rooms, had been carried away, probably by children. They were all small pieces and it is probable that the parties who took them did so without thought of harm, thinking they were left over pieces. Instead of that they are needed to complete the bases around some of the fixtures, and unless they are returned it will greatly delay the finishing of the rooms they were taken from. It is therefore requested that any persons knowing where any of these pieces are, will return the same to Mr. Joiner, the janitor of the building.
