HR AND JURY PRESENT
MENTS.
GEORGIA —Gilmer County.
We, the grand jury, selected,
chosen and sworn lor the present
term of the court, respectfull)
ask to submit tlie following gen
eral presentments:
We have examined tlie public
buildings, bridges and jail, and
find them in good condition with
the following exceptions : The
court house needs nw window
glasss put in and somF*i#WK*?
repaired in some windows, and
the bridge near J. P. Cobb’s
home needs banisters along (lie
approaches to the bridge on both
sides. We recommend that the
Ordinary have the court house
repaired and the bridge amended
as reported. We find the jail in
as good condition as its construc
tion and ventilation will admit
The jailer keeps the building neat
and clean, will, all proper sanita
ry precautions, but its ventila
tion is inadequate, aid its in
mates are in constant jeopardy of
their health, its accommodations
insufficient, and all attention and
precaution can not render it a fit
building for (lie incarceration ol
criminals. Tlie building is too
small, besides being insecure
against any formidable attack on
the building. We, therefore, al
ter careful investigation and in
view of these facts, recommend
that the Ordinary sell the present
building and Jot, purchase anew
site and erect thereon anew
building not to exceed in cost
*3 ,000, to be paid in annual in
stallmeut* at the expiration of
three years from date of contracl,
and we hereby appoint Felix G.
Smith, Jasper Poindexter, T. J.
Long, J. W. Duckett and O. H
RandeU a committee to select
the plan and specifications ol
•aid building, the same to be
furnished the Ordinary and that
he may cause to be erected the
jail in accordance with the com
mittee’s plans. We also recom
mend the Ordinary to sell the
Academy properly at Ellijay,
and pay the proceeds into the
county treasury.
We find the public roads in
good condition, with signboards
at all croseings and forks of
roads, except the following roads :
The road from Jasper Holt’s lo
Ham Smith's in bad condition in
Ellijay district, also a portion ol
road leading from Ellijay lo
Pucktown at tlili Dillingham
bluff in bad condition in Ellijay
distftiot, also portions of the road
leading from Ellijay vis Mrs.
McUan’s mills to district lines,
commissioners, 11. C, Ellington.
D. Hix aud John S. Groves. Al
so Turnpike road commencing
at corporate limits aud reaching
to county line, commissioners,
Jas. A.Gudger, W. T. Crawford
and Charles L. Hill. Also road
leading from Flat Creek church
to Berean church in 1302nd mali
lia district, all of said road lying
in Coosawatee district in bad
condition, commissioners, Ban
Brackett, Silas Silver and Jack
Hensley. Also the Morganton
road from Ellijay to the Cdx
farm on Turnipiown valley in
such bad condition and so unsafe
for the traveling public by the
close proximity of the Murietta
and North Georgia Railroad that
the safety of the public demands
a speedy remedy. We earnestly
(•commend that the Ordinary
proceed in such legal and proper
manner as to have said road am
ply repaired at the expense ol
whatever parties responsible for
such condition of road.
We recommend the appoint
ment of the following notaries
public: Taylor Crump (nr 1302

Ordinary pay Einaliue Withrow

penses of Linda Summerrour,
Robert Tuck five dollars for ex
pense of sickness of Senator
Freeland.
We recommend the Ordinary
and Town Council not to grant
any licenses to sell spiritous or
malt liquors in the county or
town.
We recommend that the next
legislature abolish the present
County Court without delay.
We have examined all books
of Notaries Public and Justices
of the Peace of the county aud
find them in good condition.
Owing to a lack of time lo in
vestigate the books and records
of the various countv officials to
the extent that the welfare of
ihe county demands, we deem it
ol such vital importance lo the
financial interest ol the county
lo iiave a searching and thorough
investigation of books and
records supposed to contain an
account of the disposition of the
county’s funds. We, therefore,
appoint the following committee,
consisting of Felix G. Smith, J.
F. Pettit and W. A. Cox, who
shall be empowered to investigate
the books, vouchers and records
of the County Court, Ordinary,
Sheriff, Clerk Superior Court, Tax
Collector, Tax Receiver and
Treasurer, County School Com
missioner. Members of said
committee lo receive daily com
pensation during the time of in
vestigation equal lo the pay ol
grand jurors, and the report oi
said committee's investigations
shall be tendered at the meeting
of the next grand jury.
Al the close of our delibera
tions, we deem it a fortunate
privilege to express our appteci
aiion of the able, conscientious
and learless discharge of the ju
dicial functions incumbent, upon
Ins honor Judge James R. Brown.
We recoghiza in him a friend to
good government, an iinula-able
foe to peace-offenders and an
unswerving ally to the safety and
protection of our homes and law
abiding citizens, and this body
hereby expresses its unqualified
approval of ins course towards
law-breakers in passing his judg
ment on parties convicted of in
fractions of the peace aud good
order of our county.
We recognize in Sol. Gen. Geo.
F. Gober an efficient officer, care
lul and attentive to his duties,
and the Ihanks of this body are
hereby tendered lor his many
courtesies and official amenities
during our past sitting.
We furthermore recommend
that these geueral presentments
be published in the Ellijay COU

Whereupon it is ordered that
the foregoing presentments be
published as recommended, and
that the printers be paid the us
ual compensation.
James R. Brows.
Judge S. C. B. R. C.
Our grand jury at the lasi
term of the court threw u bomb
into the camps of several unsus
pecting parlies. They haw
evoked considerable comment by
their actions, but so far we have
heard only approval of their
course.
IHE ARM JAIL
Nothing, in our opinion, i# en
titled to more comiiienilai lot
limn the action ol our lai graoo j
jurv in recommending Hi<* timid
mg of anew county jail. Tin* i
step, long neglected, in
right direction, and n shows tha<
that bodv was composed of men
with wise and ouservative vmw
sbout the county's wellare. I
was no troup ol boys, as then
actions unmistakably show. A
new jail is one of the long-fell
neets-ilies of il.e countv. The
little box we now have is too
siual, unfit and not adapted to
prison purposes. Time allei
i time have prisoners escaped, and
[it is reasonable lo suppose lhai
Imen incarcera’ed for grave of
| tenses would make as bold breaks
for escape in the future as have
| been in the past. When the
county has hail a desperate pris
oner the jail was compelled to be
guarded or the orisouer trans
ferred to aim*her jail at greai
expense to I lie county, when it
Gilmer hud a good jail ol hei
own all this unnecessary expense
would be avoided. We must
have anew jail. Ni county can
be a county without one. The
grand jury has taken the initial
step as they should, and it re
mains lo b : seen what action the
Ordinary will lake about the
matter. Our Ordinary lias said
in view of the jury’s actions that
anew Ordinary will have to Oe
elected before the county will
get anew jail. This is the result
of the deliberations of 23 citizens
of llie county, among whom is
several of llie largest tax payers
ol lhe county, and they say let
us have it. It seems to us that
the decision of 23 men viewing
the county’s interests under oath
from so many standpoints, and
being among its tax payers,
should receive consideration, and
we hope our Ordinaiy will con
sider well his course before de
clining to have anything lo do
with the jail.
A BOOST TOR ATLANTA.
The Constitution in speaking
of the Marietta and North Geor
gia Railroad, the Atlanta aud
Hawkinsville, the Georgia, Caro
lina and Northern and the Macon
sud5 ud Athens, has this to say of our.
nilroad :
“Arrangements were compil
ed yesterday which insure be
yond doubt the immediate
change of the Marietta and North
Georgia road into a standard
gauge, its completion into Atlan
ta and its extension lo Knoxville.
“These four roads are assured
to Atlanta, and in,less than eigh
teen months each of them will be
running trains into depots in ibis
city. What will be the effect on
Atlanta ?
“The Marietta and North Geor
gia will make Atlanta the best
point in America for furniture
making. In no other city can
hard wood and marble be deliv
ered so abundantly and cheaply
as into Atlanta over the Marietta
and North Georgia. It runs
through the best marble quarries
in the world aud through Inlis
and mountains, black with oak,
walnut and cherry and with mill
ions of birch—tlie American ma
hogany. It penetrates a mar
velously rich seetiun ami carries
us direct to Knoxville and the
coal fields.
“The wealth this road will pour
into Atlanta cannot be esti mated.
**l'lie truth is, never since she
was founded has Atlanta been s
prosperous or her future so hope
ful as now. She lias not made
much fuss. She played with
booms and boonleis when she
was young but lias now put them
aside and settled down to busi
ness. She grows so steadily and
has grown bo Img and got. so
used to growing she doesn’t
shriek every time she (eels a
growing pain. But she wishes
her neighbors, one aud all, a busy
an.l prosperous year and she will
try and be with them when we
all get together next Christmas
and see what the year has filled
our stockings with.”
■- ■ ■ - -
It seems to us that violators ol
the whisky law amt carrying con
coaled weapons got a black eye
al the recent term of tha
Jubge Brown deals out more gos
pel in h<s tines than almost all
the clergy ol the county. It
strikes us very forcibly that be
tore many mure such courts
these ' violators wiy certainly
learn that die way of the Hans
gressor is surely hard.

opinion and eivrv p.,*- inter
est. I’lie bo iv *a- a little aboV-
tin* average, cer .m.lv not interim
to any grand jury % e h ve known
in Gurnet. They did some iflicn-nt
work during their brief delibeia
tions, a tact evinced by tlie find
ing of 42 true bills which was only
10 per cen. ot the cases vent!
lated. That body waded into
every department of the count)
with glovefc oft. One among
their most sensible acts is the
appoint ment e-t- a committee to
investigate the books and records
of all county officials w ithout lim
it of time or circumstances.
There are several reasons wh>
such a course is commendable.
Of late years a how! lias been sei
up by the peo;l* about bigli tux
ation, why it was in time ol
peace lax should be one doilai
on the hundred. Many com
plaints iiave been made lliat
during the period of bridge-build
mg and court bouse repairing
when the county was in debt
from twenty-five bundled to
three thousand d< liars lax was
only 80 cents on the hundred at
its highest, while now when the
county is out of debt and no new
buildings erected tax is one dol
lar on tlie hundred. The grand
jury has endeavored to find out
this cause by the appointment of
this committee who will see
wherein, if they can, this trouble
lies. A better committee could
not be selected from tlie whole
county. Rev/Jno, F. Pettit is a
Baptist minister, and Rev. F. G.
Smith a Methodist minister, and
\V. A. Cox is the Postmaster at
Ellijay, ull of whom are well
known all over the county, and
are honest, capable and suitable
men for the position. They will
give the matter a thorough in
vestigation, and if any crooked
ness is practiced by any official
they will find it out. We have
heard of no objections lo the ju
ry’s actions, except from a very
few, wli.lj mass of citi
seus uiiH?simiTOglv endorse this
move. If I lie books of the vari
ous county officials are correclly
kept Hie report of this commit
tee will exonerate them from
any blame. An honest official
with correct books fears no in
vestigation, and the result ol
such will only tend to elevate
him in the confidence ami esteem
of bis constituents. We do not
presume lo charge that there is
any delauli with any of our offi
eials, but the giand jury lias seen
fit to take a peep into tlie records
that belong to the county as
public properly. The result,
whatever it may be, w ll justify
their actions. There can certain
ly be no harm done, ami so far as
our information readies the peo
ple as a mass endorse the action
of the jury.
