Getters! Presentments of Grand Jury
OoTotiKB Term, 1000. .
We, the Grand Jury, chosen
and sworn to serve at this, the
October Term of Berrien Coun¬
ty Superior Court, beg leave to
make the following present¬
ments :
Public Buildinuh,
We have examined the build¬
ings and find the jail in good
shape so ferns tho present build¬
ing will admit of and that the
prisoners are well fed and cared
lor. Wo find however that the
present building renders it im¬
possible to properly cure for
prisoners, there hei.ig no pro¬
vision for separating white and
colored, male and female pris¬
oner and we urge the proper au-
tlmritie* to proceed at once to
erect a suitable building. We
find that (he roof on tower of
Court house is in hud rendition.
The leaking being such as to
cause material damage if not
attended to promptly. We find
the court house floors and wulls
In filthy condition, caused from
spittle and recommend that spit
toons he provided and the Jani¬
tor lie required to keep the build¬
ing in decent shape, We recom¬
mend that permanent light* be
provided for the public rooms.
Public Roads.
The public roods of our coun¬
ty are not such as are required
by the laws of this state, but on
the contrary their conditions art-
such h» to render travel nnd
transportation thereon incon¬
venient, expensive and unsafe
and asis well known this condi¬
tion is probably due toconstnm
neglect during past years rat It¬
er than indigence on the port o!
any particular individual or of¬
ficial. This consideration alone
prevents our returning the Road
Commissioner* to bo deal with
by the court as the rendition* of
tlte roads demand. In lieu
thereof we recommend that the
County Commissioners procure
and keep a “Public Road Reg¬
ister” a* required by law, nnd
that they tissemhlo the Road
Oomtnusionar*, classify the pub¬
lic roads of tho county and that
they require the Commissioners
to proceed at ottos to clear tlte
roads of stumps, trees, brush,
etc., f->r n space of at least six¬
teen feet and to put them in all
other respects in such conditions
as prescribed by law for ilnl
class road*. We recommend al¬
so flint on all bridges exceeding
1W0 feet in length, passageway,
or turnouts be built of such
width ns will allow teams to
pass each other in safety.
We recommend that the dork
furnish a copy of these present¬
ments to the presiding Judge
and Grand Jurv at the n<-xt term
of the Superior O.ulrt in order
that iuvuiry may Ik* made and
actions taken in case of
to comply with the n-

Memorial.
Over a happy home consisting
<>f father, mother and two babes,
the death angel hovered many
days, aye, weeks ere he snapped
the love cords binding this fain¬
tly. Hut on Friday, Wept. 2ist,
1000 The Lord who gave said,
“It is enough, bring it to me,”
and the cherub spirit of little
Jewell Estora, eldest of Mr. and
Mrs. J. 8. Simians, was freed
from the pain racked body. The
little one was never strong, and
for several days had been very
sick, hut on Thursday seemed
very much better; the elated
parent* fondly hoped to see it
HOC n regain its wanted playful¬
ness, but on Friday morning
while being dressed she was tak¬
en with terrible agony and died
between twelve and one o’clock.
The funeral service w as appro¬
priately conducted by Rev. John
Patterson at Cross Roads
Little Jewell was indeed a
treasure in this home.—She was
unusually bright and wise be¬
yond her years. With aching
hearts ths parents see the little
rockers and hear theories of pet
“kitty,” 8o many things re¬
mind them hourly of their darl¬
ing. ’Twas a lovely flower early
broken front the mother stem,
but planted in heaven it will
never fade; a jewel indeed which
placed in the Father’s crown will
never loose its lustre. Ah, fath¬
er and mother, your little one i>
in good bunds; is on a broad
oosom and nestled under the
wings of divine love. Heaven
is dearer for you have a jewel
there.
Beautiful hands of a little one sec,
CftlliuK. Oh father anti mother, to thee.
Bttby-faoeil darling, tho light of our
home,
Ixmugly, tenderly beckoning come,

trict about fl o’clock last night.
The murderer stood in the floor
of the homo and fired upon him
with a pistol or Winchester rifle
as he wag going into his bed¬
room to retire for the night.
The murderer then made his es¬
cape and no trace has been
found of him. Mr. Padgett was
a white man of ordinary means,
and went over to Mr. Ray's .to
sit up with a sick child.
He and Mr. Ray had been sit-
ti„S by the lire Likin,, nn.thnr
of them dreaming that an
sin was planning to murder out
of them form the darkness.
Padgett cot up and went to the
room where the sick clmd «as
lying nnd mantle some inquiry
as to luiw it was getting long.
He then turned to Ray and told
him that he would lie down for
a while and started to tho room
which had been assigned . , . to
him A , he B1}proached the
door the shot was firm! and he

him instantly,
Ray fled into another room,
fearing that he would be killed
