M.; U. C. Clary, Justice of Peace 1619th. District G M.; and D. W.
Hires, Justice of Peace 588rd. District G. M.; and found them
reetly kept. We, recommend that the Justices of Peace and Notary
Publics who failed to bring their dockets before this body for exami
nation, present them to the book committees appointed at this term
f or examination.

5tl We find the Court House and Pumping Station in good con
i dition We have also examined the jail and find that it is in very
bad condition became of the fact that the iron door at the entrance
is veiy frail, and the cells in the second story are very insecure, and
we recommend that they be replaced with bar pattern cells; also that
the iron coll, formally Used in the Court House, be placed in the sec
j ond story <".f the jail to lie used for female prisoners and lunatics.
We also find that the water works in tho jail are in a very bad condi-
1 tion and recommend that they be put in first class condition at once.
