Jackson Argus – Week of March 1, 1895
We hope that our grand jury next week will recommend the building of a new 
court house for Butts county.  If there is an improvement of any kind, which 
will add more to the materials interests of our town and count than a new court 
house, we are at a loss to determine it.  It is only a question of a few years 
when one will have to be built, and it is our opinion that it can be done 
cheaper now than at any other time.  The present structure, with its many 
inconveniences, should be torn away and a new and commodious building erected 
in its stead.  Bonds can be issued, and the railroad tax for the next ten or 
fifteen years will be sufficient to pay all expenses incurred in so doing, 
without levying one cent of tax upon a resident of Butts county.   A large 
portion of the money expended for labor, etc., will find its way to our 
merchants here at home, and thus, besides giving the residents of our county a 
handsome court house, it will be a measure aid in relieving the stringency of 
money now so noticeable in our midst.  Now is the accepted time to make a move 
in this direction, and we feel assured that the grand jury drawn for the next 
week will see it in the same light.
