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.

Kook Sioticin, 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 elets will be given, viz: “Bought With a Price,” by Ann S. Stephens; “The Island of Diamonds,” by Harry Danforth ; “Once Too Often,” by Frank Lee Benedict; “Lin* say’s Luck.” by Miss F. Hodgson ; and “A Wife, Yet Not a Wife,” by the author of “The Second Life.” In its fashions Peter son is not exceled by any. The price, in spite ot the improvements, remains at two dollars a year 1 To Clubs it is cheaper still, viz : Fonr copies for S6OO, with a large en graving, (24 inches by 1G), “Five Times One To-Day,” as a premium to the person getting up a club ; or eight copies for sl2, with both and extra copy of the Magazine aod the engraving, as premiums.

Let a 1 teachers and pupils subscribe now, for the School Festival—they all need it. It costs only 50 cents a year, in advance, or 15cents for a single number.

The Maryland Farmer. —The November numner of this valuable agricultural month ly is received, and is as usual replete with interesting matter in every department of agricultural, horticulture, live stock, and all subjects of a kindred nature that will prove instructive to the farmer and planter. Anew year will commence in January next, and the publishers promise to make such improvements in its typography and literature as will further commend it to the patronage of the agricultural public through out the country. It is published by S. Sand Mills & Cos., 145 West Pratt Street. Baltimore, at the low price of $1,50 per annum, or $1 for a club offive and upwards. We heartily commend it to our agricultural readers as worthy their support. 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 hirer'B Review and Pittsburg Price Oiirrent .
