We, the Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn to serve at the regular May Term, 1916, of Montgomery Superior Court, beg leave to sub-: mit these our General Present ments: As a body we have examined the county jail and find same to be in a well kept and sanitary condition, and recommend that some repairs be made on the front and back porch of same, and also that the floor in one of the cells receive some necessary repair, j We have appointed a committee j from our body to examine the books of the various Justices of the Peace and Notary Publics, and find them correctly kept with the exceptions noted on their re port attached hereto. Jim L. Gillis ) J. P. Mixon ; Committee. J. J. Calhoun ) The report of the County Treas urer is appended hereto and marked Exhibit “A” and made a part of these general present ments. The report of special taxes col lected by H. C. Davis, Tax Col lector, is attached hereto and marked Exhibit “B” and made a part of these general present ments. A resolution has been passed ordering the county commission-! ers to defray the expenses of en-1 tering the tw'o grand-children of the late A. J. Newmans in to the! Georgia Children’s Home Society, j Savannah. Said amount not to i exceed the sum of One Hundred j ($100.00) Dollars. We recommend that Reliford j Ricks be placed on the pauper, list, and that he be paid the sum of Five ($5.00) Dollars per month. We recommend that the Clerk of the Board of County Commis sioners keep his books in such a manner that a true condition of the financial standing of the county can be ascertained at any and all times. We have appointed from our body C. H. Peterson, J. P. Mixon and W. F. McAllister to examine the books of the county officers and report to the next Grand Jury, and that they be paid the* sum of Two ($2.00) Dollars per day each for their services. We recommend that in pur suance of a recommendation of the Grand Jury of this county of the May Term, 1915, a bill has been recommended by our repre sentative in the General Assembly of this State, having for its pur-i pose the creation of a new county to be carved from the Northern portion and a section of Emanuel countv, and to be known as the county of Treutlen. Believing it to be of interest to the people of ! the entire county that the pending bill do pass and be enacted into a' law and we so recommend it. We, the undersigned members i of the Grand Jury chosen and sworn and selected to serve at this the May Term, 1910, ot the Superior Court of Montgomery County. Georgia, beg leave to respectfully but most vehemently protest against the action of a| majority of our present body in recommending the passage of the ] pending bill in the Georgia Legis lature which has for its object the creation of the new county of Treutlen, taking for this purpose practically one-third of the small territory now comprising the old county of Montgomery. In mak ing this recommendation we feel like our present representative I (who is also a member of this | body) should follow the wishes of the people of Montgomery County , as expressed at the ballot box when they voted against the creation of Treutlen County in the election held in the year 1914, ! and in which it was the only election in which a large majority of the voters of the county ex pressed themselves as being against the creation of said coun- j ty. We sincerely trust, and so re quest. that if our present repre sentative refuses to abide by the i wishes of a majority of our people as expressed at the ballot box, that the Legislature of Georgia | will look carefully into the matter and refuse to pass the pending j bill. We request that this minority report be read along with the general presentments and that it be spread upon the minutes of the court. D. E. Walker A. H. Johnson J. A. Galbraith S. D. Morris! We have examined the pauper list and recommend that the amount being paid to Elizabeth Cheney be reduced from $12.00 to SO.OO per month. We appoint J. R. Carr Notary Public and Justice of the Peace for the 1067th District, the term of J. T. Langford having expired. Upon investigation we find that the County Farm is not self-sus taining, and we therefore recom mend that said farm including all farm implements and stock used in connection with same be sold. Whereas, there seems to be some irregularities in the action of W. J. Higgs, Justice of the ! Peace for the 12215 t District, and Benj. Gillis, Justice for the 1386th District in the matter of disposing of estrayed cattle, we recommend that the Solicitor give the matter ! his attention at the next regular term of court. i We recommend that the Clerk jof our body be paid the sum of ; Five ($5.00) Dollars for his ser j vices rendered during this ses- I sion. We return the thanks of our body to His Honor Judge E. D. ' Graham and Solicitor W. A. Wooten for their courtesy to our body, and we commend, them for their dispatch of business and efficient service. We recommend that these pre sentments be published in the Montgomery Monitor and the Soperton Sentinel and that they be paid the sum of $5.00 for same. J. C. McAllister, Foreman. W. F.

April 19th 1916, at 8 p.m. By John Outlaw, Sr. The funeral of Josh Baker oc- j curred at the Second Baptist | Church of Soperton, of which he was a member for a number of years. The ceremonies were sim ple, consisting of viewing the remains by relatives and friends. A distinguished (white) family, ladies and gentlemen, with Mr. Chas. D. Williams, with whom Baker had been employed for 13 years, were present. Among those weeping friends was Mr. Williams, filled with uncontrolla-1 ble grief. It has been said that the white i man cared only for the black ■ man while he was able to work, ! has been proven by Mr. Williams to be untrae. Baker didn’t have a child nor a brother that was closer to him than Mr. Williams, j I SAFETY FIRST DEPOSITS INSURED j j BANK OF UVALDA | Deposit your money with the Bank of | I I valda—the Bank that cares for its de- | positors in all emergencies. | Bank by mail.

Baker found that hon esty and obedience were the first steps to civilization. Mr. Williams is a man who appreciates honesty and true friends. Baker was with him in life, so he stood by Baker in death. He remembered the man who acted best his part. Mr. Williams proved to others that he is one of the truest to his obligations, who has the best heart, the most feeling, the deep est sympathy, who freely gives to others the right he claims for himself. He has added to the ! sum of human joy. Could every one to whom Ba ker rendered loving service bring a blossom to his grave he would i sleep beneath a wilderness of flowers. This brave and tender man in every storm of life was an 6ak and a rock; but in sunshine he was a vine of flowers. He si ded with the weak, with a will ing hand gave alms, with a loyal heart and purest hands discharg ■ed all public trusts. Justice was his temple and all seasons seemed to be summer. He believed jus tice a torch to humanity, religion and love the type of God. May the action of these two | men spread from east to west i and from north to south, as the ' mighty eagle upon the dollar ! spreads his wings, with his right ! in the Atlantic ocean, his left in the Pacific, his tail in the Gulf of Mexico and his bill in the frozen | zone of Canada.
