MAGNIFICENT COURT HOUSE.
Th Interior Remodeled and Modernized
Something to be Proud ol.
The extensive repair to tho county
court bouse have been completed and
the large number of citizens of Joffor
son county who stopped Into tho court
house Monday morning to attend court
found great change In the appearance
of the interior of that structure. It Is
now a credit to the county. The repairs
cost IH.OOO. From the Brookvillo lie
publican we clip the following concern
ing repairs mado :
"Tbe building was equal to the ne
cessities of tho business of tho county
when constructed, but owing to tho
great Increase In population, which has
more than doubled In .tho years that
Intervened, changes became necessary,
and early this yoar the County Com
missioners began negotiations for tho
Improvements that are now completed.
The first floor, that devoted to the of
fices of the Register and Recorder, Pro
thonotary, Treasurer, Commissioners,
Surveyor and Superintendent of tho
schools, has been generally overhauled.
Tile floors replace the boards that
served so long, and the wainscoting
that was considered fine when placed In
position gives way to handsome tile
resting on a marble base anl capped
with an ornamental crown of the same
material. The elaborate stairways,
right and left, leading from the vesti
bule to the court room, are no longer In
position, a single marble stair taking
tbelr place and affording the only front
entrance to the second story. The re
moval of the right stalrway,gave space
for three additional rooms, that hitva
beeu assigned as an office for the Su
perintendent of schools, ladles' toilet,
and jury room, a fourth room ' being
found on the left front, third story,
that will do duty as a jury room. In
tho rear a very serviceable marble stair
way Is found that harmonizes nicely
with tho outer portions of the floor.
Tho walls of the hall and office rooms
above the wainscoting have been paint
ed and decorated, and the ceilings
handsomely frescoed, the material used
being first-class, that will admit of
being cleaned as frequently as may bo
necessary. The office heretofore oc
cupied by Superintendent Toltrlck has
been connected with the Commission
er's office by cutting a door through
the petition, and will serve as a private
or consultation room for the board.
On the second floor the changes have
not been so radical, and ye, consider
able work has been done. The library
has been remodeled by the removal of
the petition that devlded It, and the
walls and ceilings freshened up with a
coat of paint. The room that has been
assigned to the attornoys also received
an overhauling and will be a cheerful
rendezvous for the limbs of the law.
In the court room the most conspicu
ous change has been mado in the
Judge' and Clerk's desks, an elaborate
piece of ornamental work, finished in
oak, taking the place of the plain
counter over which justice has been
dispensed all these years. The ar
rangements have all been made with a
view to convenience, and Judge Rued
will find It possible to largely econo
mize time In the handling of Juries with
his Improved surroundings. A jury
box has also been introduced, a new
feature in our court. Tho court room
will be newly carpeted, and when Capt.
Lucas cries out next Monday, "Oh,
Yez I " everything will be as clean as a
new pin. "
Need a Board of Trade.
Every live town needs an active board
of trade, composed of men not easily
discouraged, who will persist In getting
Industrie to locate In a town. Tbo
growth of a number of towns, Eano for
Instant, shows what an active board of
trade can do for a town. Reynolds
vllle Is a good town, but don't begin to
be the town it should be with the many
advantage thet e Is here for large or
small industries. The fact of the mat
ter, there are few towns that have the
natural advantages that this town
possesses. Then what Is the matter ?
why don't we get some of the largo In
dustrios that are looking for good loca-
tlons ? The trouble 1 within ourselves.
We must get before the capitalists.
I it possible that some people are so
much afraid that If they use tbolr In
fluence to get an Industry located at
Reynoldsvllle that some other person
will get more gain out of it than they
will? Surely that would be blind sel
fishness. Let u all get our shoulder to
the wheel and give the town a boust,
regardless of who reaps the largest
harvest. The growth of Reynoldsvllle
is in the hands of the citizens. Are we
satisfied to remain In the rear of the
procession ?

Tsr-Macadam.
In tho search for something at once
cheap and durable to pave their streets
and public roads, the ofllcliilsof Ontario,
Canada, have discovered a combination
styled tar-mueadam which costs from
ono-thlrd to onu-hnlf as much as asphalt
or vitrified brick and wears fully as
long. 'Twenty-two years ago a trial was
made upon ono of the most used streets.
During all this time almost no money
or labor was spent In repairs, yet tho
piece is In good condition and used at
present. Four years ago they paved
ono of their mnln business streets with
tar macadam. After four yenrs hurd
usage, without a dollar's worth of re
pairs, tlio roiul Is as good n-i when laid.
And tho cost of construction was only
68 cents per square yard. Even if neo
essary to re-surface, it can bo dono at
a cost of 25 cents pur square yard. The
construction Is simple but solid. Upon
a foundation of rough stones six Inches
deep, as In a macadamized road, small
two and-a-half Inch stones are laid to a
depth of five Inches and these arc mixed
with tar. As a surface coat upon this
an Inch of tar and line gravel Is used.
Each separate layer Is rolled with a
15-ton roller and when completed tho
street, from curb to curb U- smooth and
almost as noiseless as asphalt, affording
an excellent footing for horses. Con
sidering Its comparltive cheapness it
should be widely Imitated.
