PRINCIPLES EEPOBB MEN.
Ellav'lls. Ga., November Sth, 1882.
Schley's Grand Jury did not want
any two dollar “juanner” in theirs.
Cattie, the little nine year ohl
daughter of IT. IT. Kingletary, is lying
quite ill with typhoid malarial lever.
Schley is willing, ready and wait
ing for the time to levy mid l>ny ft
tax sufficient to pay all of her indebt
edness.
Call at the Ordinary’s office for the
monthly crop reports of the State.
Maj. Oleghoru will deliver them to
you free. - -
Alex. Goodson, an old and highly
respectable citizen of Schley county,
is quite ill, and is hardly expected to
recover.
The Grand Jury paid a very highly
deserved compliment to our most
worthy countyman, Major W. C. I’.
Cleghorn.
Ei>. G. Persons is now delivering
his fruit trees, plants, etc., at Prince
Bro.s’ stables. Ed. is a good gentle
man and it will be good for you to
call and get your trees.
Mils. V. 1). Murray is convales
cing; but the lion. TV. 1). Murray,
Schley’s Legislator, was taken witli
typhoid fever upon his qrrival at At
lanta, and we are sorry to say is quite
ill.
There was not more than about
fifty negroes that voted in Schley last
Tuesday, and about half of them voted
the Democratic ticket and the other
half voted for Forsyth for Congress
man-at-Large, straight and single file.
We are glad to see our colored people
taking the right step to go with their
friends.
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS
OP THE
CRIIDMMIIEHOmi.
September Adjourned Term, ’B2.
We, the Grand Jury sworn and em
pannelled for the September adjourned
term 1882, of Schley Superior Court,
beg leave to make the following Gen
eral Presentments. Through our com
mittees we have examined the public
buildings, the roads, bridges, the vari
ous offices of the county andjreport as
follows:
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We find the court house in good or
der and neatly kept. The jail we find
in bad order, and not such a jail ss wc
deem safe for the security of prisoners.
THE ROADS ASH BRIDGES,
We find in as good order as circum
stances pcimit, with assurance from tlie
Board of lioads and Revenue that the
slight delects are in progress of reparis.
The various county offices we find clean
and neatly kept, reflecting credit on the
incumbents.
The books of the Clerk of the Su
perior Court we find neatly kept and in
business like style. The Ordinary’s
books are in fine order and in point of
penmanship and neatness, a credit to
the county, and congratulate the county
and the Ordinary in having so efficient
a deputy Clerk as Mr. Cleghorn. The
Sheriff, county Commissioners and
Treasurer’s books we find in good order
and well kept. The Justices’ Dockets
we find also in good order and kept
neatly.
Wo notice from the Treasurer’s report
the financial condition of the county as
appears from his book and vouches.
Since last term of court, lie has re
ceived fiom Tax Collector, §211.36
Disbursed, sustained by proper
vouches, ." 208.56
Leaving in Tre’s hands a balanceof 2.80
It appears from the Treasurer’s re
port that there are outstanding
orders to the amount of ".. §BOO.OO
There having been granted during
the present year orders am ting to 1,357.00
Expense March Court §022.00 and
of this court will be about §622.00. 1,814.00
Leaving the county indebtsdness...§3,lol.oo
The tax to be collected amounts to
about §2,100.00
Remaining indebtedness §1,301.00
We recommend that Mr. A. C.
Murray be appointed to fill the vacancy
on the hoard of Education caused by
the resignation of W. D. Murray, he
having been elected to represent this
county in the General Assembly of the
State, and that William Daniel, jr., be
appointed on the same Board in the
place of lssac Ilart who refuses to
serve.
We recommend that the pay of
Jurors remain at $2.00 per day.
In conclusion we return our thanks
to Judge J. A. Ansley and Solicitor
General G. 11. Hudson, for kindness
and courtesies shown this body.
We'request the publication of these
