Our great sale of is now in progress, and hope to close out the entire stock by January ist, if low prices on good goods consti tute any attraction. We have had an immense trade the past week in Over coats, but in consequence of new arrivals in this deparment, we arc still prepared to offer you a stock that cannot be equaled in variety, and at prices that you will be sure to find agreeable to the times.

The building accommodation!) for tlicso of our indigent population who have availed themselves of this charity are found to be ample for the consider able number now inmates of the institu tion. lleyond moderate repairs and tbr re-covering of one of the buildings, we have no recommendation of extraor dinary expenditures to make. The inmates ure comfoitabiy cared for and express themselves as highly pleased with tho present manager, Ur. Bradford. The present number of benelloiarles of this charity is twenty-seven; of these seventeen are white and ten colored. Among tho inmates there are two blind, one white and two colored. There are three sick who sre given the necessary medical attention. Ily regular appointment divine service is iicid once a month. We commend the faithful services of the manager of this institution, whoso best commendation, however, is the cheerfulness and comfort of those under his charge. PUBf.ir IIUILDINUM. Jail.—We cannot commend the gen eral condition of the jail. Whilst the prisoners therein are safely kept, we And the sanitary condition unsatisfac tory. The cells should bo scoured and the general premises cleaned up. The blankets should be washed and sunned. We And twenty prisoners incarcer ated—all colored. The new jail now iii process of con struction will bo modern in all respects —built to secure the reasonable com fort of prisoners and to secure their ab solute immunity from escape. It Is con tracted to be completed by July 1st prox. Court House.—Beyond the need of a little rcplastering in places the genera) condition of this building is all that could be desired. We recommend that the necessary attention bo given to the walls or ceiling as indicated. We would mention as another and material exception to the general good condition of the court house the filthy character of the basement. This should bo immediately cleaned out and disln fcctcd, and means taken by tbe proper authorities to prevent a recurrence of tbe nuisance. COUNTY COURT HOOKS. The books and records of the county court were found in excellent order and of easy reference. Since last Uay there have been tried and disposed of 132 criminal cases and 183 civil cases, or a total of 2*15 cases, disposed of in this court. In view of the early retirement of Judge Pilsbury, the sense of this body is, “well done, good and faithful servant.” SHERIFF'S HOOKS. We And the sherllTa records well kept and his office well appointed. We com mend tide officer and bis deputy, Ifr. Umar, aa faithful anil energetic ser vants. From tbe report of tbe sheriff made to this body It does not appear that any moneya belonging to the county come Into bit possession except from tax A. fat., all of which thus far (101.40) waa duly turned over to Mr. M. Callaway, tax col!a:tor. OIlIlIXAUV's OFFICE AND UOOKS. Tho hooka and records of tbs Ordinary are found to be accurate and systematic, of easy reference snd reflecting credit on this officer. countv commissioners' books. We highly commend the nest, system atic and competent manner in which the books of tbe commissioners are kept We esnnot well say too much in com. mendatlon of the present able board, and congratulate the citizens of the county in having such an efficient body to manage tbe revenues. koadh. Tbe condition of the roads of the county is considered fair. Except in a few isolated cases, tiiere is no partlou lar cause of complaint. This result, however, is more attributable to tbe ex cellent weather which has prevailed for the past few months than to any pro nounced improvement in the character of the work usually expended upon our highways. The old pine top system of repair Is still followed with the same regularity with which It was commenced over 30 years ago. The facility with which this material may be gathered and thrown into a gully and this, in turn covered with a shovel full of loose earth makes the method popular and minimizes the labor. If this system of civil engineering is crude it is univer sally understood, so that the reluctant labor, which is depended upon for an indispensable duty, ia found to be alto gether competent for its discharge. Close inquiry on the part of this body develops the fact that tbe county is practically without implements of any sort fur road aervice, and that it ia cus tomary for supervisors to borrow sucli tools ns a neighborhood might possess, but not necessarily such as the work might require. Under a recent enactment ofjtbe I.eg-1 isiature our board of commissioners are competent to levy a specific tax upon those of our citizens subject to road duty and to supplement this, if needful by a tax upon property. A sufficient time since tbe enactment has not elapsed for the board to provide such imple ments os may be needful, nor to organ ize new methods fur the work in hand though it is a matter for congratulation that within a reasonably short time we should have a system inaugurated com. mensurate with tho needs of the county. We earnestly recommend the adoption of the new law and its energetic appli cation. JUSTICE OF PEACE HOOKS. We And no instance of overcharge in the records of these officers, though we And some instances where the fees have not|been entered. This Is the case in books from the 17th, Notary Public in 28th, and also Injustices of tho Peace book in tho 27th. No books wore submitted from old ldtb, new 20th and 20th. We desire to compliment J. W. Oliver in old 20th and V. A. Freeman in 15th for the neat and business-like manner in which their books are kept. TAX UECKIVEU’g UOOKS. An investigation of the Tax Receiver’s books developed the fact that a certain percentage of lands wore being given in under value. Tho attention of this officer was called to this fact We con sider it noteworthy that the instance* of under value returns were few and the amount Involved practically insignifi cant. TAX COl.I.ECTUIl’s UOOKS. The records of this officer rellect credit upon him for their neatness and method. Below is appended his state ment: Taxable propeity returnee fu.Stu.7jl.00 State lax lo In col lecloil :li,100,70 County tux lo ts* collected Sc’,190.70 Total ftffJBMV Collected In date lt.70l.fO To be colleeU’l MAW.00 Nut oa digest, esl I meted -VkfAOO Total W»2.0# The amount mil ondigesl, climated,com prises ratlniudtax nmoualinir to fii.litt.00,di rectly returnable In the Comptroller-General together with other Items amounting to Siteti, cot given In to the Tux Receiver out, thirteen days before the liooks close. [Hlgiten! J. B. DUNN, Tax Collector Huntter County. In addition to the above statement the Tax Collector furnishes ills statement of special taxes collected amounting to $237.30, for which vouchers of remit tance to the Comptroller-General were submitted. The report of tbe Clerk of the Supe rior Court shows that lie lias collected no funds of tho county since ills last re’ port, nor is there any that he may col lect unless there should be settled some old case wherein the jury fee of (>2,00 was by law then charged, which law,, however, has been long alnce repealed. SI'KCTAI. UECOMMENUATION. A number of children of school age living In tbe county and just beyond the city limits of Americus, and who have heretofore attended the Americus pub- Uo schools, as being more convenient, have recently been disallowed their pro rata of (the state’s appropriation under whatwe regard aa an Incorrect construc tion of tho ruling of the State Commis sioner jof Schools In this case. We therefore recommend that the County Board of Education instruct the County School Commissioner to pay the pro rata of the eebool children so sit uated provided that It Is found not to bo contrary to law. RECOMMENDATION FOB OOVEBNOB’s AP POINTMENT. . It appeariug that the office of notary public and ex-offiio justice of Uw peace is vacant, we hereby recommend that Cliai. J. Graham be appointed to fill the vacancy. PAV OF JUKOHS. It ia the aense of thia body that tbe pay of jurors remain as at present fixed, viz: Two dollara per diem. The pay of bailiff's we also recommend to remain as at present established, two dollars per diem, except the riding bailiff's, whose pay has been heretofore four dollars per day, and which we recommend be con tinued. We regret to And that there is almost an entire failure on the part of the com mitting magistrates in the county to 8ubpa>na the witnesses for the state in casea where there are committals. This failure on their part retards the progress of the court, and that to at a great ex pense to the tax payers of the oounty. We hope for the future these officers will fully and faithfully perform this important duty. The grand jury in completing its ses sion desires to especially thank His Honor, Judge Fish, for courtesies ex tended to our body. They are also indebted to our able solicitor, C. 11. Hud. son, for his efficient aid and courteous communications. We recommend that the presentments he published in the Americus Timkh-Rh- COHUKB. Wm. W. Hitt, Foreman, J. W I,. Daniei..

A true extract from the minutes of Snmter Superior Court, this December 8th, 1801. J. H Ai.i.kn, C. S. C, Little Jobnnie, on seeing a skeleton for the first time, exclaimed, “Why, but they skinned her mighty close, didn’t they! She looks worse than Aunt Jane did, before ma gave her that bottle of ‘Favorite Prescription r ” “Auut Jane” was so completely worn cut by. prolap- susjjperiodlcal difficulties and nervous prostration that she was a constant suf ferer, night and day, but Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription acted so promptly and favorably upon the uterus and other organs, that site suffers no pain at any time, and her general heal tit was Dover better.

America has 80,000 miles <if boundary, or more titan tliu coast lines of Asia, Africa, Europe, Mexico and .South America combined. The harsh, drastic purgatives, once deemed an indispensable, have given place to milder and more ^skilfully pre pared laxatives; hence the fgreat and growing demand for Ayer's Pills. Phy sicians everywhere recommend them for costlv-ncss, indigestion and liver com plaints. As ntauy as 1,000 people are said to be “lynched" in the United States yearly.

Contacts witli electric wires, railroad accidents, broken car and elevatoi cables, explosions of steam, natural gas and chemicals, poisons in adulterated food and and drink, are a few; but. all these dangers combined do not kill as rapidly aa slow and sure consumption The death rate, however, from con sumption is being yearly cut down since Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, X.

A cough [generally sounds the alarm, and you should take the “Discovery” at once. There is a time when it is too late.
