The necessity for drawing two sets of

tines, etc., go into the county treasury,
and is a matter published to the people
semi annually. Others say the propper
thing to do is to give the justices of

do the work formerly executed by

A PATNA WAY.
On last Thursday afternoon, at five
o’clock, Mr. Ed Evans drove up in front
of the Star Store in a one horse wagon,
which lie had just loaded from the gro
cary department of that store, and as
he got in the wagon to leave he started
to raise his umbrella, which frightened
the mule and it at once started to run,
but the wagon striking a hitching post,
threw Mr. Evans to the ground. He,
however, held on to the lines, and by
main strength prevented the mule run
ning into the large show window atthe
corner of the Star Store. Mr. Evans was
not hurt, though he made a narrow
escape.

the rooms now occupied have about
all they can accommodate. The in

ored all of whom scent to be satisfied
with the treatment received from the
manager Mr. McKinley and we rec
ommend that he be employed for next
year.
The Court house is in need of some
small repairs to which we call the at
tention of • the Ordinary. The Jail is
in good sanitary condition and the pris
oners are well cared for except in
seats and hammocks for so large a
number of prisoners.

We find that the Indian Spring and
Florida Rail Road is occupying and
using a part of the Public road at In
dian Spring thereby making it unsafe
fo(*lhe traveling public. We spec
ially call the attention of the Ordinary
to said road and recommend that he
proceed at once to have the road, or
street, running by the residence of
Mrs. Biyans and in'ersecting with the
public road put into a condition to be
used as a public road in leiu of the
road now occupied by the railroad the
cost ot said work to be paid by said
railroad if they ara legally bound for
the same, if not by the county. We
also cad the attention of the Ordinary
to the following places .in the public
roads that haye been reported to us
and recommend he have such work
done as in his opinion is best to wit:
Rocks in road near Thomas’s bridge,
Mrs. Jane Thompson’s, near Demp
sej's Ferry, near Mr. McCandless’,
near P. Hlie’s, and Judson Roberts’
also the rocks in the road leading from
Flovilla to T. G. Preston’s near the
creek and the rocks in the road near
residence of T. J. Saunders, and be
tween Hendricks, bridge and the
branch.
We recommend that a high water
bridge be built at Glenn’s bridge also
that a bridge be built across the
branch near R. B. Ilarkness’. We al
so call his attention to the bridge
near Joseph Hale’s to the washout
near the store of J. W. Washington
and to the road near R. K. Fear’s.
We ask the Ordinary to ascertain
what would be the cost of a fire proof
vault suffi ieut to contain the records
of the county and report to the next
grand J ury.
We recommend the appointment of
Dr. W. C. Bryant as physician to the
poor farm and jail.
