Court House Fence.
I11 company with Mr. J. R. Ogletree,
the contractor, we made an Examina¬
tion of the new fence around our court
house, which Mr. Ogletree has just com¬
pleted and painted. We found the new
fence to be one of the most substantial
kind, and evidently put up on a plan
that will last for years. We consider
our County Commissioners both shrewd
and fortunate in securing a contractor
who has so faithfully carried out their
contract. The new fence adds largely
to the improvement of the appearance
and the security of the court-house.—
Our Commissioners have already done
so much that we do not like to be in
trusive; but, like the little boy Who
saw tho biscuit through the glass, “if
the court house was only painted out¬
side !”
Fine Wagons,
Me saw some days ago a sample of
wagons made at Mir. John N. Limp
nmn’s shop, in this place, which we
think the equal, if not superior, to any
wagons of foreign make we ever saw.
R was always a problem that we could
n °t solve, to know why our people
would send a long distance from home
f °r such articles, when a superior article
was to be had at their very doors. Mr.
Chapman uses the very best material
