Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 107, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 September 1899 — Judge Palmer’s Opinion of Our Court House. [ARTICLE]

Judge Palmer’s Opinion of Our Court House.

Judge Truman F. Palmer, of Carroll —White circuit sees the interior of our court house for the first time since its completion. He ought to know something about court houses, as many as he has seen and done business in, and he pronounces ours the handsomest and best arranged of any in the state, for counties of a similar rank to ours. . He has equal admiration for its outside appearance. The Judge agrees with The Republican however, in thinking that it was a great mistake not to have made the east court room large enough to accommodate county conventions, and county teachers’ and county farmers’ institutes, and other similar meetings of general interest. The Republican earnestly advocated a large room of this kind before the court house plans were adopted, and it still greatly regrets that its suggestions were not heeded. Winter hats, lovely beyond description, and no heavier than Summer head gear, at Mrs. Imes’.
