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.

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.

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.

Witness my hand and official signature. J. D. Lovett, Clerk S. C. B. 0., Ga. 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, 4 Raging, Roaring Flood.
