STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
By virtue of a favorable vote on June 7, Ringgold county is to have a
courthouse at Mount Ayr, the county seat. Since the old courthouse, pictured at right, was
condemned and torn down several years ago the business of the county has
been transacted in temporary quarters in various parts of the town. A bond
issue of $150,000 was voted. With the erection of a courthouse at Mount
Ayr, Jones county will be the only one in Iowa without a regular courthouse.
On several occasions an effort has been made to vote bonds for such a
purpose at Anamosa but defeat always resulted.
