j the subject of public property and
| bridges will be noticed further on.

REPORT.
■ Georgia, Lumpkin Comity,
j To the Honorable Grand Jury of said
I county:
! AVe, the Finance Committee, ap- j
! pointed by your honorable body to in- i
i I i 1. ’ 1 -« , f * U , V *
r.s appears on the Tax Digest of the
county, and we believe the same will
be ample enough to pay all the indebt
edness of the county and leave a neat
surplus in the County Treasury. We
congratulate the Ordinary on the fact
that the lirst time in live years our
stale and county tax is only one dollar
on the $100.00 dollars of taxable prop
erty, and feel that the same has been
due to bis economy and strict business
principles in discharging the affairs of
ihe county.
Respectfully submitted,
F. J. Wn.r.iaxis,
John Wacahtkii,
Finance Com.
We visited the jail in 11 body
and find it cleanly kept, and we
recommend that a new stable be |
built commensurate with the needs :
of the jailor, and suggest that the |
Ordinary build the said structure
under his own supervision and j
that the said structure he oigh- 1
teen by- thirty feet with suitable !
tails and loft toaccommodnto the j
wants necessary. The present
id root tiro is a disgrace to the
county. It will not turn rain or
sunshine, therefore, proyinder
cannot be taken care of and stock
cannot lie made comfortable.
We recommend that the ground
above the jail bo so graded us to
turn the water away from the jail,
and some little repairs are needed
which we hope the Ordinary will
look after at once.

The court house needs some ItD
tie repairs that should also lie
looked after.
We recommend the repainting
of the Castleberry bridge be done
at once, and that the Ordinary in
spect all other bridges of the
c ounty and give them such repairs
as is necessary to preserve tho
property. We find that a uew
floor is needed at New Bridge,
especially.
We find that tho roads have
been worked out recently, with
two exceptions—the one leading
from the Cooper Gap road to tho
long tubes, and tho one leaving the
Ellijay road by Judge Brittain’s
farm—only two hands on the for
mer road, and the latter no hands
to work. Wo see no other chance
but for the Ordinary to look after
tbc said road.
Tho Grassy Gap road has been
worked and in reasonable con
dition— according to the number
of hands. It is reported that
wagoners are in the habit of lock
ing their wagons coming down
the mountain by tieing the limb
fir top of a tree to the hindmost
part of their wagons and drag
ging same from top of the moun
tain to the foot of the same, there
by keeping the road all torn up
after being fresh worked. We
recommend that the Road Com
missioners put a slop to this iii'
jurious habit.
It has been the custom to allow
roads to go in bad condition
until just before court, when
the oversoerers would hurry to
work them for fear of the law.
This habit should bo stopped and
commend his reappointment.
There is a vacancy of a Justice
of the J'eacc in the Porter Springs
disfiet aud wo recommend that,
the vacancy bo supplied as llie law
directs.
We find the following named
persons receiving county aid for
support: James G. Grizzle, $8
per month; Mrs. Williams, $8;
Mrs. Oronun, $8; Mrs. Janies
Sparks, $2; Mrs. Ayers, $3; Geo.
Chapman, $8; Mrs. Gaddis or
A bee, #3; Levi Stencil, S3; Mart
Hashaw, $z; Manerya McMillian,
S3; Charley Smith, (blind) $3; Ad
line Alston, £2, and two inmates
at paupers home taken cure of at
$5 per month each. We recom
mend that Mrs. Francis Turner,
on account of ago and infirmity,
he paid $5 per month and remain
where she now resides.
We are satisfied that some lands
are returned less than 50ets per
acre. We recommend that tho
Tax Receiver lake no return on
lands for less than 50cts per acre,
and to see that all other lands arc
returned at a reasonable valuation.
We have received the report of
tho Tax Collector on special taxes,
and fine that he has collected
from G. D. Bruce, photographer,
$10.00; Gipsies, $25.00, aud after
I deducting his commission' of
$2.50 cents, returned the balance
of $22.50 oyer to the State Treas
urer.
We recommend that the next
Jurors lie paid $1,50 per day.
Bailiffs $T, except horsemen, and
they lie paid $1.50 per day, and
we request that tho Sheriff use no
one on court service except bond
ed bailiffs.

The Ordinary informs us that he has

I each tfioo.uu worth of taxable property
need it, and we enjoin

We hayo found, after examina
tion the hooks of the various Jus
ticos of the Peace and Nolories
Republics of the county to ' be
correctly kept except tho hook of
A. W. Caldwell is not dated and
properly signed. We recommend
that the Justices in fault keep
their records according to law |
and with pen and ink.
There is a vacancy in the 888th I
District, G. M., caused by the
resignation of Scott Stringer, and
wo recommend the appointment of
Geo. Peek, as a suitable person to
be appointed as a Notary Public
of said district,
As the term of Joseph B. Cald

punishment.
Our Bailiff, L. B. Walker, has
ixamined the
io objection
been a faithful Constable in tbo
discharge of his duties to this body,
and in taking our leave, we return
him our thanks.
Wo recommend tho publication
of those presentments in both the
Duhlotiegu Signal and The Daii-
r,onega Nugget, charging legal
fees for the sumo, and equally dis
vide tho same.
We recommend that the .fay
bridge, over the Hightower river
at Jay, bo repaired, or re-built pro
vided it can lio done not to exceed
$200.00. In case tho Ordinary
cannot hire hands and attend to
tho work himself to let to the

We recommend hereafter that

finds he can have tho work done
