NEW COURT HOUSE.
Work on The Building is Progressing Rapidly and a
Large Force of Hands Are Now Engaged
In Its Construction.
IT WILL BE COMPLETED ABOUT OCTOBER FIRST,
It Will Bea Beautiful and Commodious Building in All Appointments, and It is
Estimated That From Eight to Ten Months Will Be Required in Which
to Complete it. Below We Give an Idea of the Work as It
Has Advanced up to The Present.
Butts County’s New $23,000.00 Court House Which Is Now Being Erected.
TOORK has now commenced on
our new court house in diad
earnest, and about fifty worrctnen are
engaged in laying the foundation and
getting ready for the brick ’work
which will be begun the eiriy part of
next week and pushed forward as
speedily as possible.
Under the supervision of Messrs.
McKenzie and Taber, we may con
gratulate ourselves in knowing that
Butts will have one ot the neatest
and best equipped court houses in all
its appointments of any in the state.
Besides doing contract work for
numbers of the leading firms and cor
porations of the South, Messrs. Mc-
Kenzie are the builders of Dublin’s
new temple of justice, a court house
whose beauty and elegance has
merited and received the praise and
admiration of nearly every resident
of South Georgia, and we have been
informed by Mr. McKenzie that our
building will surpass in many re
spects even that of Dublin.
Mr. Bishop, of Atlanta, who was
given the contract for the rock work,
has a large force of hands now en
gaged in laying the foundation, and
as soon as his work is completed the
walls will be reaped sky-yard by a
skilled force of brick masons under
the supervision of Messrs. McKenzie.
The excavatiomhdS been made for
a basement wherein will be stored
the heating machinery and lighting
apparatus for the building. The
rock being used in the foundation
work is being gotten out at Cedar
Rock, rear Jackson, and is a fine
specimen of stone and fills all the re-
quirements of the building contract.
The court house will be provided
with four entrances and a wide hall
will extend from each entrance en
tirely through the building.
The tower will front toward the
south east corner of the square, and
will be built almost entirely of rock.
An elegant clock with four large di
als will be placed in the tover, the
estimated cost of the clock alone will
amount to some $600.00 or S7OO 00.
Mr. John Stone, a native of France,
and a supervisor ot national reputa
tion has been sent to JacKson and
will superintend the work in the ab
sence of Mr. Bruce, architect of the
building. He is well versed in all
details of the building, and gives it
as his opinion that Jackson will have
one of the best court buildings of any
town of its size in the south. From
the above cut of the building, which
is a reproduction of the original draw
ing made by Mr. Bruce, architect of
the building, it will be seen that when
completed our new court house will
present a most imposing appearance,
thoroughly in keeping with the metro
politan city of which it is a conspicu
ous Dart.
The new court house will be pro
vided with a perfect system of sewer
age, but the contract only provides
that the contractor shall connect the
sewerage of the building with that of
the city, and as in this instance, the
city is without a sewerage system it
will devolve upon the county to de
vise some means of disposing of the
water after it leaves the building.
It is proposed to furnish the build-
THE JACKSON ARGUS.
ing with the best furniture, carpet
ings, etc., that can be had, and so far
as regards the interior of the building
it will rival, if not outclass, the court
buildings of either Macon or Atlanta.
It is estimated that an expenditure
of from $4,000 to $5,000 will be re
quired to lurnish the building
throughout, and the people of Butts
county will have cause to feel proud
of their investment.
A stomachful of undigested food is
about as unhealthy a mass as one can
well imagine.
What can done with it?
There it stays. It won’t digest. It
churns up, ferments and de - ays; be
comes poisonous (as all putrid matter
does) and causes great pain and deep
seited disorders.
In order to change all this, tane
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
It stops fermentation and decay at
once, so that no more poisons are
created.
It clears the stomach of poisons al
ready tnere. It helps it to turn the
iond that remains, into healthful
nourishment. It strengthens the
stomach for the next meal.
Here is the whole philosophy and
cure of indigest in a few words. And
what’s more, it’s all true. Try it.
ShaKer Digestive Cordial is for sale
by druggist, price 10 cents to SI.OO a
bottle.
