to aufpttt; these our general present-
nicnts^F:.. ”
ThtMwIh our committees we have ex-
nminoft the books and records of the va
rious county officers and find them
neatly'and systematically kept. Wo
find in the ’ Clerk’s office, however,
and old index book in bad condition.
This book is an index to deeds and
mortgages from the year 1890 to 1899,
inclusive.
We find ail the J. P. Dockets re
turned for examination correctly kept
with the exception of a few omissions
of dates and failure to indicate by
whom the cost was paid. The follow
ing districts failed to return their dock
ets for examination, to-wit: Districts
No. 692, 713, 1122, 1163, 1397, 1483,
1527, and 1542.
The court house was found in sani
tary condition and under fair Tcpnir.
The jail is in need of some ropairs
and improvements. To make! the build
ing more secure and sanitary it will
bo necessary to repair the floors occu
pied by the ptisdners and to install
some method of heating other, than that
now in use. For the protection of the
insane, a padded room should bo pro
pared as soon as finances will permit
We Tecomomnd that thenecessary pro
cedure be taken to make the jail per
fectly safe, sanitary and comfortable.
Wo found the convict camp clean and
sanitary. Most of the prisoners are
able-bodied, healthy men and seem to
bo reasonably well satisfied under the
circumstances!
Tho mules are in qxcollont condition
•and almost without a scar after long
service.
..Tho inmates at tho poor farm seomod
contented for the fact thoy reported
good treatment and wo found thorn well
supplied with food and clothing. Ev
erything out there appeared clean and
sanitary.
The farm is growing a fine crop this
year.
We reccommend that R. T. Williams
lie re-appointed N. P. of the 649th dis
trict, Temple, Ga. Also that C. L.
Cox be appointed Ex-offico J. P. of the
i" lltf lli iiitdit, irirtnmttiflq.
. We recommend to the Commiss
that he repair the Factory road begin
ning jppt outside the city limits of
Carrollton. That he repair two or three
places east of the Tallapoosa river by
filling and constructing suitable bridges
high, enough not to be washed- away by
froahets. Also repair another bad place
nearby, in font of Wesley Ballard’s
borne, before bad weather comes on to
make this road nonrly impassable and
dangerous.
We recommend that those present
ments, including the reports of the
various county officers, be published in
tho Carroll County Times and the Car
roll Free Press and that tho R«m of
#15.00 each bo paid for such publica
tion.

IN MEMORY
On September the 25th. the sad news
camo to us from the far. west that
Bruce Beeves was dead. Death was
caused by falling from a ladder while
at work.
It was so sad, so shocking, but it
was good in our Master to not let him
suffer long—he only lived ten minutes.
Bruce joined the Christian church
at Bethany in 1917 nnd lived a faith
ful Christian life until he wns called
up higher. So lot us not mourn as
those who have no hope.
Ho was laid to rest at tho Jordan
cemetery. Services conducted by Bev
O. A. Moore.
Dear loved ones, ipoderat^iy weep,
For Bruce hag only fallen #»lpep;
Resting in hi* Saviour’* arms,
Free from air trials and free from all
harm.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe U om carrodipg care;
9afe worn tho world’8 temptations,
Sin cannot hapm him there.

THE STORY OF THE
CHAUTAUQUA
Back in the days before the white
man crossed the ocean from the Old
World and when the red Jtncc held
sway over this land of our.% these red
men held councils for tho discussion of
,problems of common interest in their
tribes. While the older men and chiefs
discussed these problems, the younger
men of tho tribe would hold contests
to test their skill in trials of athletics
and marksmanship with the how and
arrow.
There is a lake located in tho south
west corner of New York State which
has had the name Chautauqua even pre
vious to the advent of the white to
this country. Of course .it was the In
dians who gave the lnkc its name. The
custom of the Indians wns to name a
lake ot river according to the way it
appeared to them. If the lake was
nearly round in shape, they named it
Round Lake. If another lake which
was nearly round in shape was in tho
vicinity of the first lako named nnd
chanced to be larger than the first
lnkc, it was called Big Bound Lake.
Chnntauqua Lake is composed of two
bodies of water connected by n narrow
neck of water, and it was pcrfeetly
na'tural in keeping with the Indian cus
tom to namo tho lake Chau-tau-qua,
which means in the Indian language
< Tied-Togethcr-In-The-Middlo. ’ ’ Both
history and Indian legends tell us that
the Indians held their councils around
the shores of Chautauqua.
Tn 1874 a scries of educational meet
ings were held around the shores of
this same lake where some two hundred
years previous the Indians hold their
councils. When the meaning of the
Indian name had been ascertained,
theso meetings for tb,e want of a bet
ter name, took the name of tho lake.
The aignificanc-e of the word Chautau
qua, 1 ‘ Tied-Together-In-Thc-Middle, ’
appealed to the authorities in charge of.
these meetings as an ideal spirit which
should exist and provail among map-
kind. A simple Indian name has ex
panded in meaning until it represents
that “Stand-Together” and “PullrTtt;,
getlicr” spirit which should ,be sp pre
dominant in all well rogulftted com
munities. Today the traveling Chautau
qua is carrying this doctrine to commu
nities in every state in bur nation.
