There Is not a commend- able thing about it, unless you have a special liking for the antiquated, The offices occupied by the various county officials are dingy corners, wholly unfit for occupancy from a sanitary point of view. Disease germs are certain to have a long tenure of life once they find their way into any of the offices leading from a corridor that has every appesrance a subter- ranean cavern, that ought to make avy ordinary man shiver on entering it. Agide from the offices in the county court house being unfit tenaments from a sanitary view point, they are uniovitiog in the extreme. The floors, walls and ceilings are all lacking any- thing that has a claim to being tasty, and the only suggestion of ornamenta- tions, are the Irregular crevices visible here, there and every where. The main court room, the grand jury room, pettit jury room, the cloak room! And then the rostrum ! Thirty cents puts them all to shame A ladies’ waiting room, however so plain, is needed. It is a shame and disgrace to oblige aged ladies, young women and sweet-faced littie children to sit in the main auditorium and hear | the’'sometimes necessary vulgar testi- mony, and suggestive questioning by attorneys. Let it be repeated, it is an outrage to force women and children to sit with- in the bearing of much of the testi. mony given during many of the ses- sions of the court. Because some of these have been unfortunate, not ali | of them have lost all self respect. Ag long as there is a blush for shame there is a hope for the mending of Ways. The grand jury that obliges the county authorities to provide a retr a! i for the mothers and daughters, who for any cause must appesr before court, w il earn the gratitude of every one except the wiserable miser, ! Perhaps this i8 not the time to build a new court house, but it neve.- theless cannot be denied that the pres ent court house, as a whole, has the | appearance and sccommodations of s nest. | i i ff Ap MM.

In passing the Reporter office that day, his alert step attracted the attention of those who saw him, sud it was remarked that he was by all odds the hardiest man for his age in this section, if not in the county. What is more Mr, Shajler has had the full use of all his faculties, and enjoyed life to the fullest extent.
