COURT HOUSES. 479 STARKE The courthouse atKnox, whilenot so largenor so costlyas some ofthe others, isquite as finein appear-ance, andpresents to avisitor an in-viting and arrangement in all of its inside structure. The room forthe farmers families has a cosy and pleasant appear-ance ; the court room is peculiarly arranged so that thelawyers and their clients may pass in to> the inner por-tion of the room between the seat for the judge and thewall. This appears to be a great convenience, as theentrance is near the seat for the judge. The inside of the dome has interesting designspainted or frescoed upon the wall. On the north,America is represented by an Indian; on the south isthe figure of Justice; on the west a figure representingGlory; and on the east is presented Eternity. Americashould ever be the home for justice; and beingjust Americans will have their share of all true nation-al glory; but well is it in temples of justice for litigantsand lawyers and witnesses and judges to remember, 480 NORTHWESTE
