portant Recommendations. /
We, the Grand Jury drawn; and
sworn for the March Term "189 I .P) Su
perior court of Coffee county, beg leave
to submit the following general pre
sentments, —
We have examined the books f the
Justices of the Peace and Nortary
Publics and ex-offic;o J. P’s. an .1 find
them correctly kept, except the books
of M. Spivey J. P. of the ll'JTth G.
M. Dist.,pf said county who has kept
his dockeUwith a lead pencil asid uas
failed tpjtemize the bills of cOjsts as
the law requires. We reconr mend
that the dockets of the Justices .of the
Peace ap'd Notaries Public be? kept
with poiTand ink and that tin* costs
be to law.
It appears to us that the Notary
Publffof thc.lo2fith G. M. Diet, of
said coijnCpfnme has expired- We
recomraen|i|hat I. T. Giddcns be ap-
the vacancy caused in
WHma that the present systems of
are insufficient to keep our
iu good order. Wt there

enues county Judge ''as the case

lay jjflyirid change or discontinue
roads and to work and have

Owing to a vacancy on the Board of
Bray cation, caused by the resignation
[of 11. Ci Girtman, we’recommend
ptSat Henry Cook be appointed to fill

recommend the appointment of
Dennis E. Sears to fill the pnexpired
Ijfegtn of H. L. Paulk, deceased, on the

Btoads and Revenues.
* We have appointed the following
members of our body to examine the
books of the various county officers
and make a report to the next Grand
Jury of said county. Leonaid Tan
ner and Joshua H. Dent We recom
mend that they be paid three dollars
per day for their services. We fur
ther request the county officers of
said county to have their books in the
town of Douglas on the fir t, Monday
in May 1899 for the purpose of having
them examined by said Committee.
We have been requested to recom
mend to the County Commissioners
of our county a suitable place on the
public lot to locate our now court
house. We recommend it to be built
in the middle of said lot, as near the
place occupied by the old Courthouse
as possible, fronting the same street
as the old one did.
We have examined our pauper
farm and find it needing some re
pairs. The well needs curbing and
the yard fence needs finishing. We
recommend that the county commis
sioners have Mr McLeod; to make
these repairs. If he cannbt do so to
discharge him and hire someone that
cas do so, as we think one, man is suf
ficient to do all work apd ipake all re
pairs needed. We also recommend
that a.l stock kept on tlie farm be
owned by the county, also the poultry.
We have examined our jail and find

it neatly kept and in good condition,

that the jail be painted to protect the

they be paid the sum of five dollars
each for publishing them. We furth
er recommend that they be published
in the next issue of said papers.
