Carroll Superior Court
October Term, 1910 :
To the Honorable R. W. Freeman,'
Judge of Said Court: !
We, the Grand Jury empannel- j
ed and sworn for said term of Court, 1
respectfully submit the following
General Presentments:
We have through our Committees
examined the Records and Official
Reports of our County Officers, and
find said Records neatly and cor
rectly kept, and said Reports in ac
cordance with the Law, all of which
Reports are hereto attached as a
part of these General Presentments,
and we commend these Officers for
theirjfaithful and efficient discharge
of duty.
We find the Dockets of the Justices
of the Peace and Notaries Public,
so far as submitted to us, correctly
kept, with few exceptions, and these
consisting only a few oversights in
extending and footing their costs
and stating by whom paid, to which
omissions we called their personal
attention, and instructed them re
garding the same.
We visited the County Farm in a
body, and are proud to report mark
ed improvements in the productive
ness of the land, which has a tine
crop grown thereon, comparing fav
orably with the Report of our County
Commissioner, which Report we
hereto attach as a part of these Gen
eral Presentments, all going to show
that he has discharged his duty
therein with credit to himself and
satisfaction to this Body.
We find the residence on s lid farm
in good repair, with slight exceptions
to which we called the attention of
said Commissioner at his earliest
convenience. We find the surround-
ings in a clean, sanitary condition,
and the inmates, thirteen in number,
satisfied and contented, and we
recommend the re-appointment of
John M. Mobley Superintendent of
.said farm for the ensuing year.
We visited the County Jail in a
body, and find the building in good
repair, and it and its surroundings
clean and sanitary.
We visited the several chain-gang
camps of the County through our
Committees, and find them in good
condition, the convicts properly
cared for, and road work being push
ed over the county as rapidly as
possible.
We find the Courthouse in good
condition, with the exception of a
few leaks, which we recommend be
stopped at once.
We recommend that our Sheriff
purchase at his earliest convenience
a pair of trained blood-hounds to be
kept at the County Jail, trained and
ready for any emergency, and that
should one die, or get killed, another
be purchased to take its place as
Sion as possible, and that a proper
kennel be built at or near said jail
for the keep and protection of said
-dogs, and that they have proper ex-
ynreise and training

We desire to tender our thanks to
Prof. J. H. Melson, of „the A. &. M.
College, and especially to his esti
mable wife and the young lady
students of this institution for the
large and lucious.cake, which they
sent us during our session. It was
made of the flower and oil of cotton
seed and baked at the College. It
was so delicious, and so well cooked
that we are convinced that the
products of cotton seed are fine
substitutes for flour and lard, and
that no better cooks can be found
anywhere than among the student
body of this institution.
We note with great pride, the
for his able counsel and valuable
assistance so courteously rendered.
We thank our Baliff, B. F. Rober
son, for his prompt and active ser
vice.
Also, we thank our Sheriffs and
Baliff for their polite and efficient
service during our session.
Respectfully submitted

She was made to look at the slip

prayer book of Catherine do’ Medi

numbers of uninteresting Madon

constantly, she /must remember, for
when she grew up she would realize
how famous they were.
At last Marion rebelled. She re-

yielded upon one condition.

Don’t forget us,
Red squirrels will kill more young
birds than they can eat. 1 have
known an otter to pile up a large
lot of suckers which he must have
caught just for sport.
House cats often kill birds which
they do not eat; they also often
bring in moles, frogs and snakes,
which they kill for the fun of kill
ing. 1 have no doubt that sable
and fisher would kill poultry just as
mink and raccoon do if they had
the same opportunity.
Some birds also kill for sport.
All ornithologists know of shrike*
hanging up birds and mice which
they do not need, 1 have several
times seen sheldrakes kill scores of
small fish just for fun. They bit
them, dropped them and passed
along.
Goshawks kill for sport. I have
known a goshawk in one morning
to kill five ruffed grouse and leave
them after tearing /hem in pieces
Last winter a goshawk was given
me which had just killed two large
Plymouth Rock hens.
It seems as if many animals and
birds take as much pleasure in kill
ing things for mere sport as many
of our sport.-men and fishermen do

“Yes, I—I tbjnk so,” lie replied.
“But are you quite sure?”
“Yes, I am quite sure. Why?”
“Because you can hold my dolly
while I tie my shoe.”
And it came out that way.—New
York Globe.
Mahogany.
Mahogany wood was first Import
ed by England in 1734, although in
1597 Sir Walter Raleigh demon
strated the great value o^this wood,
which was used in repairing his
ships at Trinidad. From 1724 un
til the discovery of the mahogany
forests of Africa by Stanley Eng
land and continental Europe were
heavy purchasers of mahogany
from tho West Indies, Honduras
and Mexico. A great part of the
mahogany used in this country in
early years came from Europe, it
having first reached there from the
West Indies, Mexico and Honduras.
A Wonderful “Coo."
Some of the tenants of a Scotch
nobleman noted for his temperance
principles wore being entertained
one day at dinner. There were plen
ty of aerated water and milk for
them, but nothing stronger. One
of the fanners, who knew by expe
rience what to expect, had provided
himself with a flask of rum and, un
known to a brother farmer, poured
a generous quantity into the gfcs»
of milk which his neighbor had
elected to drink. In due time the
unsuspecting farmer put the glasa
to his lips und seemed to enjoy it so
that he never stopped till he fin
ished it. Then he turned to hie
friend and remarked, “llech, man
Tammas, what a coo!” — London

Old and Blind and Stupid.
No one could say a sharp or bit
ter thing with more absolute cool
ness than Lord Westbury. After
retiring from tho office of lord
chancellor he took a very active part
in the house of lords sitting as a
court of appeal, where his colleagues
were Lord Chelmsford and Lord Co-
lonsay. Lord St. Leonards, whe
was senior to them all, never at
tended. One day Lord Westbury
chanced to meet him and said tc
him, “My dear St. Leonards, why
don’t you come down and give u»
your valuable assistance in the hous«
of lords?”
“Ah,” said Lord St. Leonards, “1
should be of no use! I am old and
blind and stupid.”
“My dear lord,” said Westbury,
“that does not signify in the least.
I am old, Chelmsford is blind, and
Colonsay is stupid; yet we make the
very best court of appeal which has
ever sat in that assembly'.”—Lon
don Mail.
Fate of the Toy Dog*.
In connection with valuable tey
dogs the Windsor Magazine has t
story about the late Li Hung
Chang. When the Chinese states
man was visiting London a leading
light of the Slock Exchange made
ii]> his mind to semi a valuable
present to him. After earelul con
sideration he decided he could not
do better than send him two of the
most valuable toy dogs to he had.
They were selected with great ease
and sent to l.i Hung Chang, from
whom a letter of thanks was re
ceived a few days later. ‘A our gilt
is much appreciated, ’ wrote the
celebrated Chinese envoy, “but un
fortunately mv age and health com
pel me to adopt a very rigid diet.
Under these circumstances 1 di
rected that the dogs be prepared f
6ome members of mv staff,
bnve enjoyed them very much.
