For Immediate Publication

A familiar sight will be returning to the top of the Bee County Courthouse in Beeville, TX on Wednesday, March 2nd.  The 800 pound statue, titled "Lady Justice" (originally called Enlightened Justice by W.C. Stephenson, the architect who sculpted the statue and mounted her atop the Bee County Courthouse in 1917) has been removed from the courthouse for about five years. A young Beeville 4-H student, Lauron Fischer, worked with other 4-H members in 2000-2001 to raise about $30,000 in local contributions to get Lady Justice removed by cranes and sent off to a Dallas art studio for repairs. After her return, Lady Justice has been placed in the lobby of the Prosperity Bank in Beeville pending restoration of the Bee County Courthouse, a $3.5 million job which is now in progress.

According to Bee County Judge Jimmy Martinez, a local ceremony is planned for 11:00 a.m. on March 2 to be culminated by replacement of the statue at high noon.

Pictures were taken in the Prosperity Bank Lobby with Lady Justice on Friday Feb. 25^th, from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm.  Pictures were $3.00 each with the proceeds benefiting the Beeville Humane Society.

A SECOND DAY OF PICTURE TAKING at  the Prosperity Bank Lobby with Lady Justice on Monday Feb. 28^th, from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm.  Pictures will be $3.00 each with the proceeds benefiting the Beeville Humane Society.
