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, 4 head of cattle, one 1-horse wag on, one 2-horse wagon and har ness, 1 reaper and binder, 1 rake, 1 mower, 1 stalk cutter, 1 hay press, 1 Acme harrow, 375 bush els of corn, 25 bales of hay, 50 bushels of peas, 2,5000 bundles of fodder, 85 bushels of oats.

The dockets of the Lcthair and Or land districts were not presented for examination. The report of D. M. Currie, tax collector, of special taxes col lected, is appended a3 a part of these general presentments.

We have the report of Auditor F. F. Goddard of the audit made of the county’s books, and accept the same. We recommend that F. F.

We recommend that the report made to the County Commission ers by Mr. Goddard, public ac countant, being a complete audit of the county’s affairs, be pub lished as contracted for by the 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 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.

D. Graham, Judge. 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. Sheriff Sale. Georgia—Mon tgom cry County.
