The condition of the county building for several days past has been most ob- noxious to persons who believe that “cloanliness is next to godliness.” The floors of the corridors and various offices have been covered with mud and filth, and the place has presented the appear- ance more of a pig-pen than a temple of justice. ‘This durty condition, however, is not due to the negligence or careless- ness of the janitor, but to the fr condition of the wi alls and steps les 2.
