Mr. Setzer is a contractor and builder by profes sion and practice. He has the contract and is building a new County Home fo* our neighbor county, Lincoln. Instead of repairing the old buildings, the County Commis sioners decided to sell the old, and to buy land in a more suita ble locality, and to erect modern and up to-date buildings.

One building will be for the colored people, containing two rooms and necessary closets. One will be the sanitary. This will have two rooms, and also closets.
