Grand Jury Presentments
August Superior Court.
We, the Grand Jurors chosen
and sworn to serve at the August
term of Montgomery Superior
Court, submit the following as
our general presentments:
Through a committee of our
body, composed of I. L. Ladson,
J. T. Moxlev and W. B. Connell,
we have examined the c unty
farm, and adopt their report as a
part of our proceedings, and at
tach same to these presentments
as “Exhibit A.”
We have also examined the
county convict camp by a com
mittee appointed to visit the same,
composed of Willie T. McArthur,
Elijah Miller and W. A. Johnson,
and their report is adopted as a
part of these proceedings and
hereto attached as “Exhibit B. ’’
The Tax Collector of our coun
ty has made a special report to
us as required by law of the
amount of special tax collected,
and same is shown in “Exhibit
C, ” adopted and attached hereto.
We have examined the public
buildings of the county, and find
the court house and jail kept in
good condition.
Having examined the pauper
aiFairs of the county, we recom
mend that no paupers receive
any revenue from the county
unless they are inmates of the
home prepared for the paupers
of the county.
The tax digest for the year
not being yet complete, we rec
ommend that the Commissioners
of Roads and Revenues of the
county levy such tax rate as will
raise funds sufficient to meet
county expenses for the coming
year.
We rec'ommend that Mr. Lu
cien Morris be received as an in
mate of the county farm.
The following resolution has
been adopted by our body:
Whereas, we learn with re
gret that a bill having for its
purpose the creation of a new
county to be known as Treutlen,
the same to be carved solely from
Montgomery county territory, is
now pending before the General
Assembly of Georgia, and
Whereas, the county of
Montgomery, as now constituted,
is too small to spare any of its
territory;
Therefore, We the Grand
Jury at the August term of
Montgomery Superior Court,
1913, do earnestly protest against
the passage of said act as being
detrimental to the best interests
of this county and state, and re
spectfully request that our Rep
resentative and Senator take
the necessary steps to defeat the
passage of said act.
In vie\y of the fact that it has
seemed impossible to clear the
docket of certain business, we
recommend that Your Honor
called an adjourned term of this
court for such date as in the
discretion of the court will best
serve the purpose intended.

says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use *Qgl
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles g.
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my.housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
I wish every suffering, woman would give KtM
The Woman’s Tonic S
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.” IjQfl
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s Pa
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
E Qm for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing Fp* 1
women for more than fifty years.
12 HE WM, M W& Cl

our appreciation of your dis
charge with dispatch and consid

ings and the dividing evenly of
justice in our court may soon be
pointed to as a model, and that
our people will soon know the
full meaning of the motto of our
great State, “Wisdom, Justice
and Moderation.”
To our Solicitor-General, Hon.
W. A. Wooten, we wish to ex
press our thanks for his able as
sistance to our body, and feel as
sured that his earnest efforts to
serve our people will be duly ap
preciated by them.
We recommend that these pre
sentments be published in The
Montgomery Monitor, and that
the usual fee of Ten Dollars be
paid for their service.

12 acres of late corn good now.
5 acres of land unsown.
40 acres of corn we estimate
will yield 25 bus. per acre.
27 acres of corn we estimate
will yield 18 bus. per acre.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUG. 14, 1013.

To the Grand Jury August
Term 1913 Montgomery Superior
Court.
Gentleman:
We, the undersigned, your
committee appointed to examine
into the present condition of the
convict camp of this county and
report our findings to your body,
beg to submit this our report
We visited the camp on the
afternoon of the Gth. of August,
and we find that the camp is
well kept and the sanitary condi
tions are in good shape. The
food kept for both convicts and
stock is of good quality and in
sufficient quantities. So far as
we were able to observe or as
certain the law is being complied
with relative to the keeping and
working of the convicts.
We desire in this connection to
commend the permanent charac
ter of the work now being done
on the public roads and trust that
it will be continued. We feel
that road building of a perma
nent nature is far more economi
cal for the county than work of
a temporary nature, and we are
convinced that our Superinten
dent is fully competent to per
form high grade work.
Respectfully submitted,
Willie T. McArthur,

Sooner the Better.
The minute a tooth begins to
decay it is the beginning of later
inconvenience and expense. The
time to treat a tooth is the min
ute the decay begins. The way
to keep posted on the condition
of your teeth is to see a dentist
at least twice a year.
