A Big Hall In The Gourt House

Tbe action of tbe late oonnty f.rmerß institute ia sdi pting a rasoloiion in favor of' taking oat ■ oertain partitions so as to extend the vast court room into a ball of 'Considerable size, has onr heartiest endorsement. In fact, at the very time the plane for tbe oonrt house were under eoneideration, Tax Republican earnestly advocated making one large room in 3rd story,

for the very purpose of having a large ball to aooommodnte farmers and teachers’ institutes and other similar large meetings, wnich concerned the people of tbe whole connty. That snob a room wae not provided for we have always looked upon se the one great faolt, in an otherwise almost faultless building, And we know that tbe peoph generally and mors especially tin farmers, whose property pays tht biggest part of the oonrt boose tax. have always felt the same way# And we are farther fully persuaded that the tax-payers of the oounty generally, ami the farming element more especially, wonld heartily oommend the work, and he willing even to add some tnou-ands of dollars to onr oonrt honae debt, if these obanges coaid now be made, and this large room be pro. vided.
