Crime of ever grade aeemB to be on
the inereaae in this county and believ¬
ing that its suppression eafia loudly
for used!the utmost vigilance by
this body, we have given eo much
of our rime to the investigation of
such alleged violations of the law as
have come before us that we have
been unable to give the books of the
county officers, «vw « other ** than — - a casual
and superficial examination. In-
deed, ;_ we * do jJ’ \ not __ a. kJiawa believe ftiaf that any onv
grand jury with the limited time at
its disposal can give these books a
satisfactory examination, and there¬
fore weWpectfully request his hon¬
or JudgeBoynton to appoint Mr.
A. W. Jones to periorm that duty
and submit a full report of his inves¬
tigations to the next grand jury to
be embodied in tbeir general present¬
ment* and published, for the infor¬
mation of the people.
We make no charges and have no
reasons for believing that any officer
is failing or neglecting to discharge
his duty, but we think such examina¬
tion would satisfy the tax payers,
who have the right to know that
tbeir trusted officers are faithful and
efficient.
We find the court house in better
condition than it has been fora num¬
ber wv* w of years. We "v take vww» especial pleas-
urt in commending the County Com-
missioners for the noof neat onrl and fusfw tasty
manner in which they have had the
court room fitted up for the comfort
and convenience of the court.
While the jail is in fair condition,
we fee! called upon to condemn the
conduct and management of the
same. There is absolutely no regard
paid to sanitary laws. The stench
arising from the occupied cells is un¬
endurable. Prisoners stated that
the uncovered vessels containing ex-
cretement and other filth were only
emptied once a day. The sheriff
states, however, thathis instructions
were to have them moved twice each
day. Granting that his instructions
are carried out, we respectfully sub¬
mit that this is not sufficient. We
find the sink in the yard improperly
constructed and the foul odors emit¬
ted from it, we think are detrimental
to the comfort and health of the
neighborhood. <
A committee from this body has
visited the county poorfarm, and re¬
port that the buildings are in good
repair, neatly kept and cared for. We
find seventeen paupers, eight whites,
and nine colored, who ars comforta¬
bly situated, and provided for. We
find an orchard of young peach trees
bearing fruit, also au apple orchard
of young trees in good condidition,
some having fruit, about one hun¬
dred in number.
We find about 35 acre# in cotton
cleanly cultivated. The condition of
this crop is very fine. We find about
25 acres in corn, cleanly cultivated.
This crop is also very fine. W# find
one acre in ribbon cane in. good con¬
dition, also one acre in potatoes and
four acres in peas. We find about
one hundred bushels of old corn in
the crib. Weflnd a pair of mules in
good condition. We also find
blacksmith shop and tools and about
the usual complement of farming
tools.
We pronounce the management by
Mr. Morris of the county farm in all
its details to be excellent.
We report the roads throughout
the county generally in bad condi¬
tion, some of themeepeciallyso.

the Cabins to the county line in

commend a bridge over Wolf creek

In Africa district, the roads are
a fair condition except the one

pecially the first lew miles adjacent

In Union the roods have all been
workedand are in as good
as the circumstances will alt allow,
except the road from Creeweil to Mt.

We will say as an excuse for
commissioners and overseers that
the recent heavy rains have washed
the work done on the roads away
and patting them in gullies and loos¬
ening up almost all small bridges,
making it necessary for all roads to
be put in proper condition at once,
that they may harden for the
coming market season. There is
great complaint about proper tool#

to picks and scrapes, and we recom-
mend ... . the County g%. Commissioners ___X__ l ___ _ Aa to
fornish a sufficiency of tools, to be
left in charge of the road commission¬
er*.
We think the County Commission-
era have been negligent of duty in
faffing to cause the removal of the
obstruction over the public road near
W. H. Home’s, made by the Atlanta
A Florida Railroad.
The dockets of Justicesof the Peace
and Notarise Public ex-officio Justices
of the Peace have been examined and
found correct; as some of the Justices
state that they have done no busi¬
ness since last court, their dockets
were not brought before this body.
We recommend the appointment of
Judson E. Drewry as Notary Public
exoffleio Justice of the Peace for Line
Creek district and J. P. Bledsoe for
the same office inMt. Zion district to
fill ifUf vacancies t acauvion existing, or v* to vw occur w- be-
f ore the next meeting of court.
tt Having ____ examined the dockets, both
civil and criminal ol the County
Court, we find that the court has dis¬
posed of considerable business in the
last twelve months. The dockets are
kept in a neat and, so farms we are
able to judge, correct manner. In
onr opinion, judging by the amount
of business disposed of on the crim¬
inal docket, this court is agteat sav¬
ing to the county in jafl fees, jury
fees, Ac.
The Sherifi’s docket is neatly kept
mid contains, as tat as we can sse, a
complete record of alt the civil trans¬
actions, showing entries of all fl fas,
levies and sales and final disposition
of funds coming into his band. The
jail record appears to be kept cor¬
rectly and according to law.
We can find no account kept of the
coBectionand distribution of fines
mid forfeitures. If no such account
is kept we think it sl^uid be done
and the grand jury aiid parties inter-
ested should have acccess to same
Our examination of the books
Tax Receiver, Collector, Treasurer
and County Commissioners has not
been thorough, but as far as our lim¬
ited time allowed, they all appeared
to be neatly kept and correct.
The records of the Clerk of the So
perior Court are np to date. The in¬
dexes of mortgages and deeds are
full and complete and, so far as we
judge, everything about the
office is in proper and convenient
shape. The dockets and papers
court are all at bls command at a
moment’s notice and all writing is in
the neatest and most legible style.
We must say our county Jia fortunate
in the selection of Mr. Thomas for
this position.
Before separating, this body de¬
sires to express its thanke to God,
for the many blessings bestowed up¬
on our connty as manifested by pro¬
pitious seasons, giving promise of
bounteous harvests and enjoyment
of continued prosperity and happi¬
ness by ail the people of this favored
land.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge
Boynton, we desire to express our
thanks for his uniform courtesy and
kindness to this body, aad we are in¬
debted to Col. Womack, our vigilant
Solicitor, for valuable assistance and
they both have our best wishes for
their future happiness and prosperi¬
ty.
Uncle Joe Little has been attentive
and faithful, and is entitled to our
thanks.
We recommend that these present¬
ments be published in the News and

lars.

Wonderful Results Without a Boom,
Chicago Tribona.
“Can you direct me to Pacific City?”
asked the Buffalo man of a station
agent in Dakota, as he left the train
at a “huddle” of four or five houses. •
-Bight across the street for infer-,
mation, sir,” walked was the reply, to and shanty the j
stranger across a i
bearing the sign of “Beal Estate,”
and put the same question to a red-
headed man who wae busy folding i
and sealing prospectuses.
“This is it, sir,” was the calm
piy*
“Why—why-” course.”
“You ars disappointed, of
“Writ, rather.”
“You expected to see a city of at
least 5,000 inhabitants, with parks,
schools, Victories, churches and all
that?”
“Yes, I did.” ’ *
“That’s the way with many others,
but it is not our fault. Our object
is to go slow and sure, and notcreate
anything like a boom to give fictit-
ous values. We have done remark¬
ably well thuafaf. One year ago this
was the only structure in the city.
Now, look around.”
“Now I can count seven.”
“Exactly. That’s what our latest
prospectus says— improved 700. per
cent, in one year. Can you ask a
town to go ahead faster than that?
Don’t confound this wonderful pro¬
gress with a boom, however. Booms
have killed half this western country.
We don’t want any.”
“How’s real estate?” queried the
Buffalo man after a while.
“Advancing, of course. Six months
ago I offered lots on Washington
avenue for flO a foot. Today I am
asking |20. That’s 100 per cent,
isn’t it, and nothing like a boom.
We are simpfy growing on our merjj
its alone. That’s the proper way for
a town to grow.”
“Any factories here?”
“There are. A year ago we had
none. Now we have a blacksmith
and a shoemaker. That’s an increase
of 200 per cent., and I want you to
find a town to match it. There has
been no boom, however—remember
that. It’s just a natural growth,!’
“What’s the population?” ^
“That’s one of the strong point*
in my new prospectus. A year ago
I waa here alone. Today we number
twenty-two souls. Think of the tre¬
mendous per fcent, of increase! AU
legitimate and on it* merits, and no
boom to cause a rush.”
“Are the future prospects flatter'
tag?”
“Exceedingly so. This climate is
good for catarrh and a check on
biliousness. Oar seasons are mild,
and a farmer can get sixteen hours a
day out of the hired men. This is a
great distributing point for trade,
and the ranter of muanfactnrts, and
