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.

Two New Boarders, Sheriff Troy Holder U at hie tame old trioka. He got In a good piece of work yesterday and brought over two new boarders for the Americas jail last night. About a year since three negroes Walter Glen, Tom and Mary Thornton, were convicted and sent to Clegg & Coney's brick yard in Dooly county, where they were to serve one year. At the expiration of the sentence they were each to spend three months in jail. Glen complied with the law and is now in tbe Lumpkin jail. Tom and Mary Thornton made their escape last December, and though every effort was made to capture them. Sheriff Holder searching all through Florida In March last, they managed to stay clear of him The negroes it seemod were only waiting for their time in tbe chain gang to expire and their idea was to re- turn, serve the three months in jail and then go their way rejoicing. But the law dont work that way, so upon their arrival home, Sheriff Holder Introduced them to tbe cold facta in the case. They are now in the Amerlcus jail, and it is probable they will go to brick making again. For a picture of the baby come to the now gallery.
