Teachers' Meeting
The white public school teachers o<
the county are requested to meet at
Louisburg on Saturday, the 9th day of
September at 10:30 a. m. At thii

r. B. White,
I County SupL
Court House
II Ma. Editor :
There has been a lot of talk about
? building a new courthouse and county
& jail and up to the preaent time we ha\?
1 taken it all out in talking, now lets dc
r something else besides talk, let's build.
f We hayea good board of ^county commissioners.
They are all good business
men and 1 am sqre they see the need ol
a new court house and county jail. 1
e am informed that every grand jury foi
the past few year* has made some
n recommendations ss to the needs of the
? old court house. The present building
s is old and entirely too small for the
d county's present demands. Our sherifl'i
|t office is too small. The grand jury hai
. no place to meet Except in the tress
nrer't office and when they are in ses
I- sion the treasurer has to transact th<
county's bntineaa in some other office.
The county commissioners should have
p. a nise room for their meeting. Whet
they are in session the Register ol
Deeds office is crowded, the present
* office being too small to?, both. Tin
i? board of education has to rent roomi

for their work. This should not be.
Kooms could be built in connection
with the new court house and the
| schools would save this rent which
would run one of our schools for four.
| months. Our county, the best in the
I State, certainly should have a new
S court house and I believe every eitiien
| in the couuty would approve of such a
j proposition. Should the commission|
ers build, why not build the court
house on the Shaw property? This
would be an ideal location, the building
with a beautiful lawn in front to be
located in the center of the lot facing
the postoffice and hotel and just as
convenient as ouFpresent building then
build a jail in the rear of this lot it
facing Spring street making the jail
convenient to the court house. Then
tne handsome thing to do would be for ^
the commissioners to let the Daughters {
of the Confederacy erect a handsome ?
monument in the center of the old j
court house square and when we do ^
this we are helping to honor the men A
who wore the gray. Now Mr. Editor, d
let us all pull together for a uew court A
house. Citizen, . 1
