It is not probable that the county
commissioners will do much this year
toward the erection of the now court
house. It is possible that plans may
bo secured, but that is as far as they
will go. Commissioners Kcch and

that a good part of the taxes levied
for court house purposes should bo in
tho hands of tli.e county treasurer be
fore any definite move toward building
is made.

Burled Under the Floor.
An Abyssinian funeral Is a very
singular affair. When a new-born In
fant dies It is almost Immediately
buried under the lloor. After the de
mise of an adult, tho body Is washed
In water sweetened with honey,
wrapped In a shroud, sewed up In a
mat of braided straw, and laid upon
n Utter made of boughs cut from
trees.
The lamentations of the relatives re
sound among the cliffs, and tho news
Is rapidly communicated to all tho peo
ple of the neighborhood, who at once
sot out to condole with tho mourners.
As soon as they catch sight of the
funeral procession they begin to weep
and cry aloud. When they Join It,
the men range themselves on one side
of tho bier, the women on tho other,
and chant. When tho religious cere
mony Is over, the corpse Is hurled In
the churchyard.
