Entered as second-class matter
21st, 1004 at the post office at Oairo, Ora..,
the Act of Congress of March 3rd. 1879.
Advertising rates reasonable, and
upon application.
We, the Grand Jury,
for the October term of the
perior Court for Thomas
beg leave to make the
report in these our
ments:
We the committee on
building make the following
port:
We find the convict
well kept and the prisoners
cared for.
We find the court house
good condition. The door
the prison room needs some
pairs, also the rail on the
way needs attention.
We find the jail in as
condition as could be under
present circumstances.
is being several rooms added
the prison department which
has been needed for a long
time.
We recommend the cell now
joining the cook room be made
so it can be used for a cook
room, which will give one more
room to the dwelling apartment
which is badly needed, also sink
put in the cook room. We also
ask that a veranda be put in
front of the jail. We also ask
that iron cots be placed in the
old cells like the ones to be
used in the new cells. These
little improvements will not
cost much and will add a great
deal to the comfort of the
house.
We find the poor house in
good condition and everything
kept neat and clean. We find
three inmates, all colored, nc
white inmates at present, which
speaks well for our county.
The roads and bridges are all
reported to be in fairly good
condition. In some sections
the county we think the road
commissioners are most
lenient with the overseers and
recommend that they be
diligent in the future.
Respectfully submitted,
C. Walker,
W. W. Dekle,
Robt. Dekle.
We the undersigned
of the book committee have
amined as carefully as our
would admit, the following
tice of the Peace books: W.
Bibb, J. W. H. Mitchell and
E. Hurst and find them
ly kept, showing cases
costs, etc.
It being customary to
ine these books at the
term no other justice court
cords were submitted to us.
We made a careful examina
tion of the books of the
of tax returns, J. F. Howard,
find his books neatly
and in the increase of
and gross amount of
find evidence that he has
gently and faithfully
ed his duty.
We also examined the
being made in the Clerks
of the Superior court, with
Elloit Book Typewriter,
find there is a saving of one
iu the space required to
any paper as compared with the
old way of making records with
pen and ink. This saving of
space together with the improv
ed character of a type written
record over a written record be
ing more legible and less easy
of alteration, induce us to rec
ommend that the county com
missioners purchase a machine
for use in the Superior Court
Clerk’s office.
Respectfully submitted,
Henry Wight,
J. F. Pittman,
Royal J. Miller.
We recommend the appoint
ment of W. H. Bibb for the
office of Notary Public and Jus
tice of the Peace in and for the
637th Malitia District, also rec
ommend J. J. Turner Notary
Public and Ex-officio Justice of
the Peace for Merrillville Dist.,
Thomas county.
•We direct that funds arising
from the hirs of convicts paid
from the state to this county be
given to the Commissioners of
said county to be used in the
Road and Bridge account.
We wish to express our thanks
to Judge Robert G. Mitchell for
his able charge to the jury, and
for his faithful performance of
duty. We also thank Solicitor
W. E. Thomas for his efforts in
assisting in the discharge of our
duty and the officers of the
court for courtesies shown this
body.
We request that these pre
sentments be published in our
county papers.

The Savannah News is right
when it says: The time inter
vening until election day should
be employed by the officials of
the various Democratic •organi
zations in impressing upon the
voters the duty they owe to the
party and the country of going
to the polls and swelling the re
turns to good, old-fashioned pro
portions.
Because the state ticke thas al
ready been elected and there are
no contests in the congressional
districts that amount to any
thing is no reason for neglect
ing the election. As Chairman
Miller of the First district point
ed out in an address to the vo
ters a few days ago, there are
“four presidential tickets in the
field, one headed by a distin
guished citizen of this state,
who may lead astray many
sound Democrats.” The tickets
referred to are, the Democratic,
Republican, Populist and Pro
hibition. It is necessary for the
winning ticket to have a ma
jority of the votes cast.
State Chairman Yeomans and
the various congressional dis
trict chairmen have issued sim
ilar calls to the rank and file of
the party, and it is to be hoped
that they will* prove effective.
Every Democratic congressional
candidate should be given a
ousing indorsement at the polls,
rand the national ticket should
have a majority like those given
Cleveland and Bryan.

To Run-down People:—
Many people think they have some
organic trouble or chronic disease because
they feel weak, all tired out, cannot
sleep, have no ambition, energy or appe
tite. This condition is probably caused
by overwork, close confinement or worry.
To these people we.say, try Vinol; if it
does not create strength and build you up
we will ourselves pay for all the medi
cine you take.—Respectfully,
WIGHT & pROWNE, Cairo, Ga.
