Of tbs Grand Jury of Web.ter County for
tin) October Term of Court.
,Ve, the grand grand jurors, sworn
and acting at this, the October term,
1891, of Webster superior court, submit
tbe following, onr general presentments,
Through various committees we 6nd the
following:
The court house in need of new steps
on the north nnd east Bide, also some
new blind t, nnd wo recommend that tbe
sarao he attended to at once.
We recommend that the traverse jury
room bo furnished with twelve good
chairs tor tire use of jurors, also that a
good and nui'ahle lock bo placed on the
door of the grand jury room and spit
toons be furnished for tbe same.
We And the jail in safe condition, and
as cleanly kept as circumstances admit.
The pauper farm wc And in good con
dition, except the roof of two of tile
houses, these are in need of some re
pairs. The paupers are well cared for.
The sheriff's books are correctly kept
so far ns ascertained.
The books of the ordinary aro neatly
and well kept, reliecting credit on that
officer. We also And tlie bonds taken
by him in accordance with law. We And
that he has all the Supreme Court Re
ports except two.
Our clever and eAlcicnt tax collector
rendered his report as to special taxes
which shows that he has not collected
any special tax during the present year?
The books of the various Justices of
the Pence and Notaries Public baro been
before us during the session and we And
no material errors.
We And the books of the Clerk neat
and well kept.
By report of the Treasurer wo And the
amount on hand and received since lost
report f1,040.(JO; and there has boon paid
out as per proper vouchers and commis
sions $1,(X1S.54, leaving the sum of $4.12
on hand.
The tax digest we And neatly made
and property assessed at a fair valuation,
showing the efficiency of our tax re
ceiver.
We And the roads throughout the
county to bo in good condition except a
short piece of road leading from Jon-
nlng’s crossing on the S. t A. & M. rail
road to Klnchafoonee creek npon which
owing to a misunderstanding as to dis
trict line, no hands were assigned, and
we recommend that the commissionora
for the next year have the same properly
worked.
We recommend that the proper author
ities have ail bridges in tbe county in
need of repairs put in good order at
"The Fast Mall."
On account of the circus performance
and the Kickapoo free show tbe audience
which greeted “The Fast Hail” at the
opera house last night was not bait so
good as tbe merits of the piece de
served.
To individualize would be unjust, as
each and every member of the company
waa fully up to the requirements of his
part and acted with spirit and success.
Tbe scene in which a freight train of
natural size passes before eyes of the
audience, with all of its accompanying
noise and clatter, even to the bumping of
the wheels as they pass over the switch,
was truthfully realistic. And the light
ning passage of the “fast mail’’ train in
the same act was thrilling nnd exciting
But tho host scone of all was that of
Niagara Fails by moonlight, ns viewed
from the suspension bridge. To any
one who lias stood upon this bridge and
looked up the river at jtlie most awe-in
spiring of nature’s wonders, the scene
was especially faithful The great falls
separated near the middle by Goat Is
land, the ghost-like mist ascending
slowly from the soothing couldron below,
while the deep reverberation of the tum
bling deluge is plainly heard JNaturo re
produced in niinic, and with the exquis
ite stage setting, carrying one back to
the .tluio when lie stood upon that
human triumph, the Niagara bridge,
and gazed upon the greatest of natural
wonders, tbe horse-shoe falls of the Ni
agara river.
