V The above is a cut of the old Court House at Marshall, and the old Jail and Count Home, showing also the new urt house, new Jail and the new County Home. This cut is some of the siflail evjdeeca of the Mtress Madison County has made within the last twelve or fifteen years The old Court House wSs'a ver simple brick structure and while it served its purpose in its day it had -become antiquated and was no longer sufficient for the business of the County. It is said that the cost of building the old Court House which was very smajl is now a part of ' the bonded in debtedness of Madison Countv. which soows that the DeoDle at the time it was built in the fifties ?were opposed to paying out very much nroney'for public use. The present court house cost about ithirty twd' thousand dollars; and if built at this time it is said it woiild cost : over one hundred thousand dollars." ; The old jail was buill of logs and it was the best the people thought they could at that time. " It was very unsanitary and it was a torture to the prisoner incarcerated The pri soner soon became palid and you could smell him almost as far as you could see him. The old County Home was a very poor excuse. ' The hdw county buildings Court House, Jail and Coun ty Home are all supplied with running water and electric lights and are modern up-to date bnild ings. .The. Jail is supplied with bath and other toilet conveniences and.the County Home has a splendid water system and supplied with bath and toilet. - The people of Madiaon feel proud of these modern structures and evidences of progress.
