The Hazard people are also seeing to the incorporating of their Village. The people of Hazartf think that Sherman county is in urgent need of a new court house more so than Haz ard needs new sidewalks. The peo ple of Hazard are making arrange ments to build new sidewalks this fall and also some water system that they might have some protection if there should be a fire. Now we believe that the people of Sherman county should consider the need of an adequate court house and we hope that they will vote bonds at the fall election to build a new court house.
