The court house corner-stone

Contractors Beagles & Dye are pushing the work on the new court house, and when the corner-stone ceremonies are held on next Tuesday the building will be so far advanced in construction that the people will be able to form a definite idea as to how the building will look when completed. The stone walls will be almost up to the first story.

The Masonic lodge will have charge of the corner-stone ceremony and all fraternal orders will be invited to participate. The official address will be delivered by the grand master of the Masonic order and brief addresses will be delivered by others on the program.
