GF.t>n<lV Talbot County :
We, the Grand Jury sworn and empannoled
for the first weak ot tne March Term <t the Su
j nerior Court, 1873. beg leave to submit the fol
lowing:
The committee on public buildings report af
ter examination that they ttud them iu net and of
some minor repairs, and recommend the Ordi
nary to have such done as soon as practicable.
The repairs on the jail are already under cou
tiaet and t wing completed as rapidly aspossibh.
The roads iu the county are generally in lair
condition with one exception, the commissioners
having perforated their work satisfactorily. It
hn* been reported to us by citizens living in tlie
vieinitv, that the road from the county line be
yond Stephenson's Mill to the district line, this
side, at Hat crock, is in bud condition; and has
no*, to their knowledge, Uvn worked by the
commissioner* tor several years.
In the road leading from Mr. Jacob(Urreker’s
to Lumsdun’s Mill, we recommend the Ordinary
to so change it as to avoid the Simmons lbli,
whieh is iuijmssiblein its present condition.
'I his Grand Jury concur with the lust Grand
Jury in the recommendation to build a bridge
over the stream nt Mahoue’s Mill, to-wu: As
soon as the financial condition of the county
will authorize the same. Also recommend that
the bridge between Ppatoi Church and the resi
dence of Wm. McCrary Ik* altered so as to make
it easy of passage by loaded wagons. i>r have it
done away with,and the road opened arouud.it
Also recommend that the roaa eoimnissioners
order the overseer ti> remove the mud tliat has
accumulate! on the bridge at McCrary’s old mi l
place; and also to make such other repairs by
cutting or reopeuiug ditches, replacing defective
plank, Ac., as are necessaiy for the preservation
of the samo. We request the comwis&iot ers lo
examine tlie crossing at the Stallings Creek and
make an estimate ot the cost of such a bridge as
will, in their judgment, answer at this place,and
report to the Grand Jury at the next term of the
Court
Relative to the bridge over the Roberts Creek
; near the residence of Henry Edwards, and chang
ing the road leading to the same; aud also, the
bridge over Owen’s Mill Creek, ou thervmd lead
ing from Bellevue to Chalybeate Springs, we
ooueur in the recommendation of the last Grand
Jury, aud recommend that the same be built as
soon as the finances of the county will admit
The Ordinary is recommended to pay Z. T.
Downs one thousand dollars for the building of
a bridge across Richland Creek ou tile road lead
leading from liedbone to Howard. At the letting
of said bridge seven hundred and ninety-nine
dollars wen 4 agreed on as the price of construc
tion; but on testimony and recommendation ot
the commissioners, we are satisfied the sum was
insufficient to cover the cost of the bridge.
The committee on Finance submit the sub
joined exhibit:

UilaiHY ou band of $60.00 county money, and 1

In the opinion of the Grand Jury it wsh
thought l#*t U appoint a committee, aouaisting
of H. P. DcLoadb, 0. D. Gorman and W. 11.
Marlin to examine the books of the Ordinary and
Clerk at a oonveuhmt time before the convening
of the next Grand Jury and make their report to
the same; tlie Ordinary and Clerk being so much
engaged with their duties in court, that a thor
ough examination at the present time was ren
dered impossible. The vacancy in the Board of
Education occasioned bvthe refusal of B-H.Bol
lock to perform his dnties, was tilled by the elec
tion of John Pye. There aro now no public
schools in operation in the county.
The land on which the old small-pox hospital
Good is recommend dto be sold and the pro
ceeds of same placed to the credit of the
county. Should a necessity arise it is recom
mended to build a hospital on some eligible
place on the Poor Farm.
The books of Justices of the Peace have been
duly examined and found correctly kept. It is
recommended that ft tax' of fifty per cent, on the
State ta*, for ordinary county purpose*,be levied,
and *n addition; I fifty perren'.for public build
ings, bridges and general internal improvfznentK.
It is recommended that the Ordinary pay H.
Hall, Sheriff', $73.00 for extra services rendeied;
and that T. ('. Pely n have $10.00; that James
McNeil huvo SIOO.OO for extra services rendered.
It is farther recommend that the jumniand Iwil
irts for 1873 be paid $2.00 per day for their ser
vices.
In taking leave of HU Honor Judge Johnson,
we tender him onr acknowledgements for his po
lite treatment, and to Solicitor General Little for
his prompt attention to onr wishes.
It is ordered that these presentments be pub

It is now an ailmittf and fast, established and confirmed by many years’ experience in the nee el
Soluble Pacific Guano, that an ordinary application to Cotton and Corn inercaeee the yield te
double the production of the same soil unfertilized. This statement is in no wise exaggerated; os
the contrary, the results more frequently exceed than fail short of the a bore increase.
The importance of an agency which thus increases the products of hired labor cannet be ov*r
estimated.
It is an agency which makes Uco baits if Cotton and tico barreUs cf Corn grow where one grew
before.
It is an agency which makes the labor of one man equal to the labor of tiro.
It is an agency which makes one acre under cultivation eqnnl to heo acres.
It is an agency which, it will tie found by fair calculation, ,iays the consumer, with eotton t
present or even lower price, three to live dollars back tor every dollar invested, and this within
I a-nod ol eight mouths time.
The above statements are not mere assertions, but are verified bv more than seven veers txpr
rienee, and are testified to by thousands of farmers and planters throughout the Middle'and South
ern States.
If it be true, as stated, that the crop is doubled by the nse of this Guano, let ns see what the
Per-Centum of Profit
is when applied to cotton, putting the price of cotton at 17 cents per pound. Planters often s7
they have made 100 per cent, because the Guano has doubled the crop. This is s mistake- it i
much more than a profit ol 100 per cent, on the money invested.
Let us calculate the profit. To arrive at the per cent, of profit on an investment the net eoit
must be divided into trie net gain. Now it an acre of ground will prodnee 150 pounds lint cetton
without soluble Pacific Guauo, and wiil produce 300 pounds by the nse of 200 pounds Soluble
Pacific Guano, then the increase from the nse ot the Guano is 150 pounds lint cotton, the cost cf
which is the money v iue of 200 pounds Guano. Hence, if we deduct the cost of the Guano fro
the vainc of the 150 pounds cotton produced by it, we lave the net gain from it* use; then, if w*
Thus* COSt ° f tbe I ' oUD ' l ® (ja “ no lljto ‘be net gain, we get the exact per cent, of profit.
