ADEL,BERRIEN CO., GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH”20,
GENERAL PRESENTAIENTSl
Grandjury, Berrien Superior Court
March Term, 1901.
We the Grand Jury, chosen and
sworn to serve at the March term
190J, of Berrien Superior Court,
beg leave to make the following
presentments:
We have examined the various
public buildings of the county
and find them well kept as far
as is practicable, but find that the
court house needs some plumbing
as there are several leaks in the
cornicing.
We recommend that as soon as it
is to the best interest of the conn*
tv that the County Commission¬
ers proceed to build to the old jail
and arrange for the keeping sep¬
arate of the two races and sexes,
We find one vacancy on the
Board of Education, caused by
the resignation of F. W. Gaskins;
we elect to fill said vacancy, M. L
McMillan of Brookfield district.
The committee which was ap¬
pointed to examine the dockets
of the various J. P.’s and N. P.’s
reported the dockets which were
handed in, Were correctly kept. ]
^ Notary Public of the L32Qth.
,15st * failed to hand in his dockets
for examination.
We reccomend the following
named gentlemen as Notaries
Public, to fill vacancies as follows:
W. B. Bradford for 1157th. Dist.
G. M ; J. II. Rowan for 1148th.
Dist. G. M.; B. F. Lindsey for
1150th. Dist. G. M. The Book
Committee, appointed by the
Grand Jury at the October term,
1000, has filed their report and
we attach Same to, and make it a
part of these presentments.
We find the the roads of the
county in very good condition ex¬
cept a piece of (he public road
from the Tifton and Nashville
road and the District line on the
Lenox and Nashville public road,
in almost impassable condition,
not having had any work done on
it in several years and we recom¬
mend that the county authorities
proceed at once to put this road
in good condition.
We recommend the following
tax levy for the present year to-
wit:
General county purposes, 25c
on $1.00; Jail purposes, 10 c. < n
$100; Pauper purposes, 5c on $100.,
W e are gratefully thankful t<>;
Lis Honor, Augustin II. Hansell, |
for his long, valuable and distin-,
guished services rendered to
county and the state, and more| hope,
that he may have many
years of prosperity and good
health. We also extend to our
fble Solicitor General, Hon. W.
E. lhomas, 0111 heaiti appiecia- j
lion for courtesies shown our pres-! body. J
W 7 e recommend that the
ent mode of building bridges by
the county commissioners be con-
tiimed.
P. Knight, Jno R McCranie,
Secretary. Foreman.
Hr port op: Book Committee.
W r e, the committee appointed
by the last Grand Jury to exam¬
ine the different records of the
county, beg leave to submit the
following report:
We find the books of the ordi-
nary and the judge of the county
court, correctly and creditably
kept, but with the following onus-
sions to which we think we should
call y°ur attention:
1 st., We find that no entries
have been made on the record of
bills of indictment since March
1898,
2nd. No record of evidence in
criminal cases has been made
s i,,ce June (adjourned) term 1899.
^ e Kbd the books of the Cotm-*
tv Commissioners and the Cou 4 ,y
Treasurer neatly and correc = y

-
1*5,292.09 oil hand and oil deposit
to the credit of the County Treas¬
urer. We find the books of the
Sheriff correctly kept.
We find upon examining the
books and vouchers of the County
School Commissioner, that the
funds are properly accounted for
but books are not neatly kept.
The books of the Tax Collector
were not.in shape for examination
as he had not made settlement
with the County Commissioners
for tile past year.

Hq Kept His Leg.
Twelve years ago J. W, Sullivan, of
Hartford, Conn., scratched his leg with
a rusty wire. Inflamation and blood poi¬
soning set in. For two years he suffered
intensely. Then the best doctors urged
amputation, “but he writes, “I used one
bottle of Electric Bitters and 1 i ,, boxes
of Buckleu\s Arnica Salve and my leg
was sound and well as ever.” For Erup¬
tions, Eczema, Tetter Salt Rheum, Sor¬
es and all blood disorders Eleotric Bitters
has no rival on earth. Try them. Peo¬
ples & Tygart will guarantee satisfac¬
tion or refund money. Only 50 cents.
The Cause of It.
In his charge to the grand jury
last week Judge Hansell paid a
high compliment to the integrity
and intelligence of tlie citizen¬
ship of this county. He reverted
to rhe times of years ago when
tlie county was full of bad liquor
and court weeks furnished oppor¬
tunities for drunken brawls, horse
races around the court house
square and various other disorder¬
ly disturbances. He contrasted
these scenes with the safety and
refinement of the present day and
attributed the improved condition
to vhe high license law which lias
prevented the legal sale of whis-
j n pj 1 j s county for many years,
j U( jg e Hansel! lias been coming
n and going out among this
people for lo these many years
ail( j j in ows wherof he speaks,

pair, “Standing waist deep in icy wa-
ter,” he writes, “gave me a terrible cold
and congh. It grew worse daily. Fi¬
nally the best doctors in Oakland, Neb.,
Sioux City and Omaha said I had Con¬
sumption and could not live. Then I
began using Dr. King's New Discovery
and was wholly cured by six bottles”

Correspondents Wanted.
^\ ^ e have space now for county
correspondence and Would be
glad to print weekly news letters
from the different sections of the
county. We find that it is very
often necessary to revise and con-
dense these letters and we like to
this right. The paper
be mailed free to regular cor-
respondents and free stationery
for this purpose can be obtained
by applying at this office. One
correspondent at each place will
be sufficient,

the public prints what purported

anxious that the same should ap¬
pear n» it’s proper light and we
take pleasure in printing the cer¬
tified list which is vouched for
bv one of the members and offi¬
