GENERAL PRESENTMENTS.
__
Harris Kupcrior Court, April
Term, 1885 .
The grand jury drawn and quali¬
fied to serve for the present term
would respectfully present that they
find peace and good older generally
prevalent throughout the county, few
oOencts against that peace and good
order ha/ing come to our Knowledge.
We have examined the books of
our county officers and find that they
have been faithful in the discharge
of their various duties, and we con¬
gratulate the county upon having
micU faithful and efficient public scr
vants.
We find the county out of debt
with no balance in the treasury,
small balance due on collectors books,
but executions in the hands of bailiff*
for collection.
1 lie pub'ic school fund for the
yc r was $6,132.44. Amount paid
o eachers $5,136.83. Total expen
ires $5,457.43, leaving a balance
*» hand of $674.01. We ,vould
urge upon the district trustees to
look well to the schools taught in
their district and see that they are
well taught and have the average at¬
tend mce required by law to enable
them to participate in the school
fund.
The public buildings we find m
goo 1 condition and property looked
after, except the jail. We find it
safe, but in a bad condition as to
cleanliness and health, due partly to
bad ventilation, which owing to 11s
construction will be almost impossi¬
ble to remedy without considersble
cost, which change we will not now
recommend; owing to the financial
condition of our people, but we
think that the cleanliness and health
iulncss of the jail could be greatly
promoted by the proper observance
of sanitary regulations, and we
rect the jailer to use every
means , to secure the comfort
health of the prisoners
therein. We recommend the
ty Commissioners to grade the

We recommend the county com*
missioners to sell the county male
academy property, located in the
town of Hamilton, and cover pro¬
ceeds in the county treasury.
The roads and bridges in the coun¬
ty we find arc needing attention. We
earnestly urge the road commission¬
ers in the various districts to see to
it that the public loads under thAr
supervision are put and kept in the
condition which the law directs.
The bridge across the Ossahatchee
creek at the residence of H. L.
Lowe needs re-building at once. Wc
call special attention cf the road
commissioners of Elierslie district to
a fence which has been placed in tine
road between the Ossahatchee creek
ahd the residence of Mrs Ingram.
The magistrates’ books handed in
for examuv.tion we find properly
%
kept, • the
except m some cases prop¬
er entries are not made. No books
were handed in from the following
districts, to-wit: Hamilton, Wavcriy
Hall, Elierslie. Whitakers and Up
per 19th.
We recommend the appointment
of the following Notaries Public, to
fill vacancies, viz: B. F. Hudson in
934th district, W. A. Clark in 717th
district and G. A. Myhand in the
78ist.
In parting from his honor, Judge
Simmons, who has so ably and ur
1
banely presided during the present
term, we would give expression to
our high appreciation of his charac
ter and tearning as - a jurist an(1 our
obligation lor courtesies from him

And for our able and efficient So
licitor General, 'T. W. Grimes, we
