We, the Grand Jury, chosen
and sworn to serve at the Febru
ary Term, 1915, of -Montgomery
Superior Court, beg leave to sub
mit the following General Pre
sentments:
We have through a proper
committee examined the court
house and jail, and find the jail
in a neat and sanitary condition,
but find that the court house and
grounds are not kept in as clean
and sanitary condition as they
should be; and recommend that
they be kept in better condition.
We recommend that the court
house outer doors be left unlock
ed, but that the doors to the va
rious rooms and offices be locked
when not in use.
A committee from this body
has examined the county farm,
and report that same was found
in good condition, with the fol
lowing live stock, wagons, imple
ments and feed stuff on same:
Three mules, 39 head of hogs,

press, 1 Acme harrow, 375 bush
els of corn, 25 bales of hay, 50

We have examined the dockets

ger, Soperton and Higgston dis
tricts, and find them correct. The
dockets of the Lcthair and Or
land districts were not presented

The report of D. M. Currie,
tax collector, of special taxes col
lected, is appended a3 a part of
these general presentments.
We recommend that the law

that two terms per year be held
instead of four, two weeks each
term, the terms to convene on
the fourth Monday in April and
the fourth Monday in October of
each year.
We have the report of Auditor

ers by Mr. Goddard, public ac
countant, being a complete audit
of the county’s affairs, be pub

retiring board of County Com
missioners, in the Montgomery
Monitor, at one-half of the rate
for legal advertising, same to be
in full, but in no case to exceed
the sum of S3OO.
We recommend that any illegal
fees or commissions collected by
any official, or former official, or
any balance of any kind due by
said officials, be immediately col
lected by the proper authorities.
We recommend that A. I).
Hughes be appointed Notary
Public and ex-officio Justice of
the Peace of the 275th G. M.
District.
We recommend that Annie
White, alias Holton, and children
be allowed to remain at the coun
ty farm, and that they be cared
for until some other disposition
is made of the children.
We recommend that Calsie
Spivey, pauper, be paid the sum
of $8 per month.
We recommend that Milligan's
Creek on the Vidalia and Nail’s
Ferry road be bridged.
We ask that these general
presentments be published in the
Montgomery Monitor, and that
the editor be paid $lO for the
same.
In taking leave of His Honor,
Judge E. D. Graham, we wish to
express our thanks for his courte
sy and explicit directions as to
our work, and hope that his ad
ministration of the judicial affairs
of our county may continue as
heretofore to advance the moral
and material interests of our
people.

al, Hon. W. A. Wooten, we ten
der our thanks for his uniform

IN MEMORY.
Our hearts were made sad on
February 2, 1915, when Mrs.
Alice Calhoun McGahee left us
to join her loved ones in that bet
ter land. We are bowed in sor
row, but not as those who have
no hope. She loved her husband
and in her home all friends ever
found a kindly welcome. We
believe she was the most patient,
uncomplaining sufferer we have
ever seen.
We loved her, and the memory
of her beautiful life will be an
inspiration to us and a blessing
to her loved ones. We thank
God for her life, while we feel
sad because she is not here. We
rejoice because she is “a child of
the King.”
We extend to her loved ones
our heart-felt sympathy. May
the vacancy made their hearts by
her death be filled by the spirit
of God’s love. May they realize
that God doeth all things well.
