GENERAL PRESENTMENTS OF THE
GRAND JURY, FIRST WEIK OF NOV
EMBER TERM OF t’PSOxN SUPERIOR
COURT, 1871.
We, the Grand Jury, chosen for the first
week cf November Term of the Superior
Court of the county of Upson, beg leave to
make the following Presentments:
In entering upon the duties encumbent
on us a8 Grand Jutots, we have been fully
impressed with the importance of our posi
tion and the magnitude of our task, nnd
have endeavored as far as possible to per
form that trust, but like all previous bodies,
we have f«.und it impossible in the short
space of time allotted us, to give that strict
examination to every matter coming within
onr legal duties that we desired, and be
lieving the same difficulty, (want of time,)
exists with every like body, we would
recommend His Honor, at least once every
year, to appoint, if within his power, a
special committee in connection with the
Grand Jury, of competent persons, whose
duty it should be to examine at length nnd
in full, the books of the Court, of the
Treasurer and finances of the county.
We have given much time and thought
to the investigation of a Poor House, which
the lust several Grand Juries have recom
mended to be put in operation for the
benefit of the poor of the county. In this
investigation we have had a full interview
with our vigilant Ordinary, who had gotten
up for our benefit, the workings and gen
eral statistics of these institutions from
various counties, in order that the matter
might be fully und advisedly investigated.
This sunjeet wo deem of no ordinary im
portance to the county, to that class of our
unfortunate citizens for whose benefit it
was intended, as well as the finances of the
county. Much has been said for and
against the establishment of a Poor House,
and without going into the many reasons
pro and cod, we have coma-to the conclusion
after mature deliberation, that under pres
ent circumstances and the very careful
manner in which the Ordinary has dis
pensed and continues to dispense charities,
that it would be best to let the matter rest
for the present as it is with the Ordinary,
or until some future time, when its necessity
may be more fully demonstrated.
The books and moneys in the hands of
the Treasurer have been fully looked into,
and we find the books kept in a neat style,
the vouchers all regularly numbered and
filed and the mjney counted and all in
hand, leaving in the Treasury up to this
date $5,776.20, and we believe from what
we have seen that our present Treasurer
will be all that is desired in that public
functionary.
The books of the Ordinary are also kept
in the best and most substantial style, and
all matters pertaining to his office give
evidence of the faithful manner in which
the Ordinary performshis duties as guardian
of the county affairs.
The public buildings we find in a good
and substantial condition, and nothing
needed in the way of repairs. The Jail w’e
believe is as safe as it can possibly be made
of wood.
The roads and bridges we ore glad to
report, so far as we can ascertain by
diligent enquiry, to be in the main, in a
good condition, and the Overseers have
done their duty. There are, however, some
few roads and bridges which need attention,
but learn that all the roads will soon be
put in order. The bridge at Cunningham’s
Mill is in an unsafe condition, and we
would respectfully call the attention of the
Ordinary to look into this matter at the
earliest practicable moment. The bridge
at Andrews’ Mill is impassible, and while
it was not built by the county and was
originally a private aff.tir, yet it is of such
public utility that we recommend the Ordi
nary to take the matter in hand and act
in the premises as may seem for the beet
interest of the county. The bridge over
Oakchunke Creek, on the Blind Jack road,
we recommend to be done away with, and
the Contractor for the building be allowed
to pay to the county the proportionable
amount lor the unexpirei term of his
contract.
We have seen in the public prints, that
our Representative has a bill before the
Legislature to alter the lines between Pike
and this county, and without knowing any
of it? particulars, we protest most solemnly
against any alteration or enfriegement of
our already small territory.
We also recommend our Representative
in the Legislature to use his influence in
having the present law in relation to public
schools so altered or amended, that the
tax payers may be released of such hardens
in the way of taxation.
In taking leave of Ilis Honor, Judge
J. W. Greene, we return our thanks for his
kindness and courtesy extended to this
body, al*o, for bis able and comprehensive
charge as to our duties, and in the very
able, impartial and dignified manner in
which he has presided, we have every
assurance that the Liw will be vindicated,
the peace and morals of the county be
maintained and justice meeted out to all.
To Solicitor General pro tern. Col. F. D.
Dismuke, we also return oar thanks for bis
kind and constant attention to this tody,
and his ever readiness to assist and aid us
in every matter in which we have called on
him in furtherance of our duties.
e rpquost that these Presentments be
published in the Tiiomaston Her&ld and
Atlanta Constitution.

Peterson’s Magazine for December is op
our table in advance. It is a splendid
number, With two steel engravings, one ot
which, “Bashful Boots,” is alone worth the
price cf the number, a mammoth colored
st»'el fashion plate, a colored pattern in
Berlin work, and more than fifty wood cuts.
We do not wonder at the great popularity
of Peterson, for it really gives more for the
money than any other. Every lady ought
to subscribe for it. I;s stories are splendid.
In 1872. in addition to its usual quantity of
short stores, Five Original Copyright Nov

of Diamonds,” by Harry Danforth ; “Once

Wife, Yet Not a Wife,” by the author of
“The Second Life.” In its fashions Peter

Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell <fc Cos., the cele
brated and popular New York Advertising
Agency, engage to advertise in gross and
detail fur large customers in a better and
cheaper mode than they can do it them
selves. This we sincerely believe they can
do, because it is their sole bustbess—their
specialty ; because they get space at lowest
wholesale rates, and because of their inti
mate and confidential relations with pub
lishers. If we wish to spend ten thousand
dollars in general advertising over the
country, notwithstanding our own experi
ence and knowledge of advertising styles
and of rates, we would employ them under
certain directions. We would save money,
trouble, worry, and the business would be
doDe at least as well, if not better, than we
conld do it ourselves.— American Manufac
