Also Audited by the state Auditor

All criminal and civil dockets
records and execution records and

We recommend to the Judge,
Salicitor and Sheriff of the County
•Court that they use all diligence
in bringing all cases in this court
to a speedy trial, thereby relieving
all connected with such cases of
the reoonsibilitv of continuously
attending court.
The Jail is well kept and in fair
sanitary condition and the prison
ers are well cared for. We re
commend that the C. Com. have
toild stools installed in the two
upper cells, for white persons.
We find the County Farm in
good condition with the exception
of tw > buildings needing repair
ing. One dwelling needs cover
ing, one crib reeds repair and
covert d.
We find four white paupers and
two colored. All claimed that
thev arc well cared for.

tary and properly kept, with
twenty one convicts, all able to

We recognize that the educa
“* —■* -• “■ - j . w—• Curftay
si of paramount imoortance to the
proper development of our social,
economical, political and religious
welfare; and feeling that we should
be alarmed over the fact that so
many of our boys and girls, especi
ally our bovs are not attending
our public schools. We urge our
county superintendent and our
teachers to exert every effort to
have them in attendance during
the next school year. Knowing
that the fault of their non attend
ance. in large measure, is due to
the indifference of the parents of
our county. We plead w'ith them
for their childrens sake and for
the future welfare of our county,
to enter their children in school
promptly at the beginning of the
term and to let nothing interfere
with their continous attendance
during the school year.
We commend the vigerous
action of our prohibition enforce
ment officers in apprehending
violators of the prohibition laws
and of our courts in properly
punishing all offenders found
guilty; but we know that the al
arming and shameful violation of
the law will not be halted until the
good citizens of our county vigor
ously and courageously cooperate j
with our officers and courts. We |
earnestly urge upon all of our
people the necessity of building
up a public sentiment which no
longer tolorate the flagrant viola
tions of the prohibition law.
We find the books and records
of the Sheriff’s office well kept.
We find all records in the Ordi
nary’s office are neatly and cor
rectly kept.
We further recommend the
Sheriff and his Deputies see that j
every automobile owner buvs a !
tag as required by law.
We heartily commend our
Judge, Wm. E. TI. Searcy and T.
J. Brown for their viligence in
helping to suppress the liquor
traffic in our Countv, and believe
j
their policy of chaingang sentences
more effective than fines.
In comelusion we wish to thank
Mr. Beard for his patience and
diligence as Baliff for the Grand
1 Jury.
We also express our apprecia
tion to the courteeies shown by
Judge Searcy and Solicitor Owen
and of the cordial relation main
tained between us during this
session of court.
We also extend our thanks to
Sheriff Ward and his deputies for
their favors and kindness to the
body.
Wc also wish to thank our fore
man Mr. J. S. Hunt and our clerk
Mr. W. W. Turner for the efficient
and courteous way in which thev
have handled the business that
has come before this body.

sentments be published in the
Henry County Weekly SIO.OO be
paid for same.
This April, 17. 1923.
Respectfully submitted.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
is often caused by an inflamed condition
or the mucous lining of the Eustacman
t übe. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced, your hearing may be de
stroyed forever.
HAUL’S CATARRH MEDICINE will
uo what we claim for it—rid your system
