ings, etc., an Twenty-Three Good Citizens

Oglethorpe Superior Court.
October Term. 188b .
The grand jury for the present term of
the Court, beg leave to make the follow¬
ing general presentments:
Upon the examination of the jail, we
find it in good condition, and that it is
secure, no escapes having occurred since
last court. The plastering in cells in
some places hns been picked off. We
cal! attention of County Commissioners
to plastering in hallway upstairs.
The new court-house is rapidly ad¬
vancing towards completion. It is a
model structure, combining beauty, du¬
rability, safety and comfort with its eli
gance. Asy¬
We find the management tor the
lum for the Poor, under the present su¬
perintendent, J. W. Vaughn, has, in the
main, given satisfaction. Wo approve
tho present manner of renting tho farm.
We recommend that the Superintendent
be required to live at tlie home; and
should the present Superintendent com¬
ply with the requirements of Commis¬
sioners Court, that he he retained, be¬
lieving him to he competent. There are
at present nine inmates—two each white
and colored males and five colored fe¬
males. From information obtained we
find they have been fed and clothed
properly, and received attention medical
and otherwise. We submit the follow¬
ing comparative statements of expendi¬
tures for tho first 9 months of 1885, under
former Superintendent, and the first nine
months of 1S8G, under present Superin¬
tendent, viz: Expenditures first nine
months 1885, with average of seven per¬
sons, is $351.70. Average per month,
$39.08. Per person, $5.58, Medical ac¬
count for 1880, $112. Expenditures first
nine hionts ofl888, with average of ten
persons, $204.82. Averago per month,
§29.42. Per person, $2.94. Medical ac¬
count for nine months, 1880, $11.00.
We suggest that not more than ten acres
of land should he cleared annually, re¬
serving enough wood from same for the
comfort of inmates of farm, as wo find
there, has been much inconvenience here¬
tofore arrising from want of good, dry
fuel. We request County Commissions
r-rs to furnish in future the grand juries
with reports of expenditures and man¬
agement of the farm for their informa¬
tion and convenience.
We have examined the tax digest for
the present year as far as could, and find
that a fair valuation, with a few excep¬
tions, have been made upon lands.
Wc find the bocks of Ordinary, Clerk
of Court, Clerk County Commissioners,
Treasurer, Jailor and Sheriff neatly and
properly kept. The Justices of Peace
and Notaries Public books, which have
been before us, are correct.
We recommend J no. B. Bell bo ap¬
pointed Notary Public to fill vacancy in
228th district, and E. I. Reynolds to fill
vacancy in the 229th district, G. M.

A WONDERFUL CROP.
Three Bales of Cotton Made Upon One Aoro
of Laud.
Capt. C. B. Ferrell, of this city, hns
tlie prettiest little farm iu this part of
the country. That may sound liko a
broad statement, but it will stand tlie
test.
Capt. Ferrell's farm islocnted near the
southern boundaries of the city, lie lias
about twenty acres planted in cotton this
year, also small crops of corn, potatoes,
etc. Six acres of the farm, however,havc
attracted special attention. Ferrell
Last spring determined Capt. set plant apart It one iu
acre and to
cotton and see how much he could make
it produce. He purchased tho seed of
the Jones variety, on the 23rd of May,
and planted the acre of cotton the next
day, May 24tli. The cotton was planted
3 12 feet in the rows by 2 1-2 in the
drill. After some Double and replant¬
ing a good average stand was gotten on
the aero. Two hundred pounds of Ala¬
bama fertilizer and about 2,000 pounds
of corn post manure was used in fertilizing
tlie acre. It was worked thoroughly ami
frequently and kept as clean and nice ns
a garden spot. The cotton grew and
nourished and made rapidly all through
the cotton making months, ft never
stopped growing, never fired, and lust
very little of its fruitage. Silica the
picking season opened Capt. Ferrell has
gathered two full bales of cotton from
that one acre. It is also safe to state
that there is another halo open and on
the stalks and in matured boils on the
acre. A number of practical and intel
ligent farmers have visited the farm re
cently, and tlie prevailing produce opinion bales is that
llio one acre will three ot

proper cultivation one acre lias been
made to produce what it took twenty
acres of the same land to make ten years
ago. As to tlie happy combination ill
the fertilizer used Capt. Ferrell says;

two-thirds of the cotton has been
picked out, it is a 1 1,arming sight to look
at. Tlie cotton is locked in the rows and
bent down with its weight of iruitage.
The boils are well matured out to the
tips of the limbs and clear up to the lop
ot the stalk. In many places the cotton
is taller than a man can reach on tiptoe,
but It will, not average more than breast
