CORONER Hardy Christian • • GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS We the Grand Jury, selected, em paneled and sworn for the Apri Term Superior court, Jones county 1889, make the following General Presentments, to wit; Upon investigation and informa tion derived from tho report of the Judge of the County Court, we find tho Roads in good order with a few exceptions as follows: The road at tho Creek near the Green Glower place in Towles Dist. be causewayed ou both sides of the creek. The two last Grand Jury’s having recom mended the proper working of the Road in Burden’s Dist, known as the Garrison roads from tho X Roads to Roberts Station at points known as the Devils raco path about 200 yards and the Devils 3 jumps about 200 yards and the said recommenda tion having been disregarded, we renew tho said recommendation and urge that these points be made passable. We specially call the County Judge’s attention to this matter. Owing to the dauger ,oua condition of the bridge on East side of Clinton near Mr. Phillips residence, should bo repaired and railed. For safety this work should receive prompt attention. Also, the biidgenear Mr, Jack Brooks on Clinton and Macon road, be made secure by making fast the flooring. Upon inquiry we find that the bridge across C>dor Creek is in Jones Co, and that the Judge of tho County Court is authorised to share the ex pense us heretofore. With a view to improved highways, after being eulighteaed as to the best methods adopted elsewhere, we recommeud and urge the working of the Public Roads by taxation in conjunction with the conyict labor. Wo deem it proper to put ourselves on record as being in harmony and accord with the Road Congress in whatever measures they may adopt, We have carefully examined and revised the pauper list, and made such changes as in our judgement seemed proper. Whilst the sum total appears excessive yet in our discre tion we found no means of curtailing. The total amount is about $332.00 per quarter or $1332.00 per aauum. Wc recommend that inasmuch as Mrs. Xmily Powell, a pauper, pur poses i emoving to the State of Texas thereby relieving the county of fu ture care, that the Treasurer pay her one quarter $4.00 m advance. We find the Public Buildings, em bracing the Court House, Jail, etc. in good order Upon investigation of the Treas urers report, Books, fto, it is our pleasure to note their good condition together with all vouchers in proper shape.

Upon a full and thorough exami nation of the books, papers, etc. of the Ordinary and Clerk we find the eume in such order as reflect s credit this efficient officer, Iu this connection we recommend that the Clerk, Mr. R. T. ltoss, use the Reverse index anti bring up the records from date of passage of act by the Legislature, and that he be paid not exceeding $25.00 for the same. Having examined the books and looked into the affairs and cen* duct of the County Court, we find everything pertaining thereto in good order and the duties properly discharged. In consideration of the efficiency and capacity of Judge Barron, we recommend that his present salary be continued. An examination of the Sheriff and Tax Collectors books and papers, show them to be in good order and properly kept. As regards the Rooks of the va rious Justiee of Peace, an examina tion shows each and everyone to bn in proper shape and condition. Owing to the resignation of J. A. Walker N. P. Dist. 299 we recommend F. F. Green to fill vacancy, Also F. B. Hascall, Diet. 300 James Hunt 378 and T. W. 459. In view oi the many vagrants complained of, wo recommend that the Judge of the County Court ap lointa committee of two persons in each Dist. to look after and report all cases coming under tho vagrant act.

There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years Doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local reme dies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pro nounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufautured i*y F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the m arket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoon ful. It acts directly upon the blood and mucus surface of the system. They off?r one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Bend for circulars and testimonials Address, F. J.
