We find the county jail in a cleanly District,

in the' 27th District we recommend

sioners of Roads and Revennetilidve
built a new bridge over Green creek
at an 8xpehse.of $245, and - repaired
bridge over College creek at an ex
pense of $70. We would recommend
that tlie Commissioners of Roads and j the very important and pressjng no-
Rovonues employ a practical meoh»- 1 cessities of public education without
missioners to the amount of $1,576.76,
from May 10JL881 to November 30,

pose of adjusting the old boa
of iheoountft and stopping ruinous
suite in the U. S. Courts. Negotia
tions are now pending, with a fair
prospect of success, looking to this
desirable end,' and, if perfected, the
county should ha.hereafter able to 1
pay its ordinary expeitMs, to,.meet ii
interest account promptly,, to provid
the “sinking fund” to extingnish ti
now bonds at maturity, , to erect much
needed public - buildings, and to give
at least one-tenth of ono per cent to

tion of the road commissioner*
throughout the county to the fact
that there arc a large number of per
sons' in tbeif districts subject to road
duty, who, - If properly worked, would
keep our public roads in excellent
coAditiOh. ~ .
PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND BOARDOF EDUCATION
We find the public schools have
been kept open tho past year for a
longer time than any preceding year,
tbe attendance of scholars greater
than at apy previous time, aud tbe
qualifications of tbo teacbers superior
to those of past years, thus showing
a gratifying advancement in the cause
of eduoation. Still muoh remains to
be done, and tbe moans at the com
maud of the Board are insufficient to
pay teachers a fair compensation for
their services, and thoy are without
funds to repair school property or to
erect necessary buildiugs for school
purposes, wbioh are greatly needed.
We find tbe white school building in
Brunswick too small to accommodate
the largo number of pupils who at
tend. The Board have recently rented
and fitted up, with improved school
furniture, a small building for a pri
mary school of fifty pnpils, which af
fords some relief, bnt we would rec
ommend that when tbe means at their
command will admit that they enlarge
thoir school building or orect a new
one.
WAflnd the books and accounts of
tpe Board of Education in perfect or
der, neatly and correctly kept, with
proper vouchers for all disbursements,
and we would heartily commend tbe
Board for the business-like manner in
which they are conducting this impor
tant branch of the public service with
the limited means at their command.
In conclusion, we would recommend
that, in view of mr school needs, ef
forts bo mad* - o bave an act passed
by tbe next L islnturo authorizing
the Comtnissio :•* of Roads and Rev
enues, upon <• ^ recommendation of
the Grand jq.», o assess an aumtnl,
tax of one-ten* • "f one per cent upon
all the taxahV property of Glynn
county lor ki-JiuoI purposes. ' . '
ELECTIONS.
We find the election returns correct
with corresponding tolly sheets.
Wo have elected the following
named gentlemen Commissioners of
Roads and Revennes for tho year
1882: Thos. W. Lamb, Matthew J.
Colson and Warren A. Fuller.
We havo elected James W. Manoe
School Commissioner for tho 27th
increasing the burden of county taxa
tion.
In this connection we would state
that the labors of the Grand Jury of
tho fall term of 1880 on the tax digest
largely increased the revenue of the
coanty for 1881, and we trust that the
action of this Grand Jury will still
more largely aid its finances for
the year 1882 by increasing the
amount of retdrns for taxable proper
ty in Glynn county some $425,000 an
dor tho law requiring proper returns
to be made, under tho strict supervis
ion of the samo, by each Fall Tern of
tho Grand Jury.
We can but oensare the present
Tax Reooivor ns well os his predeces
sors in office for some years past, for
gross negligence of duty, as evinced
by tbe very incomplete and insuffi
cient returns on the tax digest. We
have, by a competent committee of
nine jurors, taken from all parts of
tbe county, thoroughly examined tbe
tax digests of 1881, compared them
with those of 1880, and with tbe city
of Brunswick tax returns for 1881,
and as the result of our careful and
laborious scrutiny, find that parties
have unde returns to city of Bruns
wick, not on county tax digests,
to tbe amount of 112 polls and $76,-
419 of property. Wo also find a de
ficiency of over $300,000 worth of
proporty, most of which is in the city,
resulting from under valuation in re-
tarns, and over $50,000 in the coun
try, the latter mainly arising from un
der valuation of wild lands. These
oombined amounts make the sum of
about $425,000 short returns, result
ing in a loss to the oennty of orift $2j±
000. We reoommend the Tax tfol-
lector to ^ako np the 112 polls and
$76,319 on tax digest for 1881, and'
proceed to collect the same at once.—
In accordance with the law, lists of
parties who have made nnddt valua
tions of their taxable property will be
furnished the Tax Receiver for His
guidance in taking the retnrhsof 1882.'
The tax digests of 1880 Add 1681 are
both defective in that the'Receiver Has
failed to add np and carry forward
each page separately and guke a state
ment of some, showing aggregate of
eaoh distrint, as Xeqnired by law. We
notice- in digest of 1880 one page of
polls, 32 in number, is loft ont in mak
ing np aggregate, making it probable
that tbe sum of $32 will be lost to Ed
ucation Fund from this canse. We
recommend the Tax Receiver not to
receive returns of wild lands in Glynn
coanty at less than one dollar per
aero, excepting marsh lands.
Wo find that tbe County Treasurer
has paid drafts of the Coanty Com-
county finances for the past year, and
we have recommended them to pur
chase two iron safes to preserve tbe
coanty books and papers in.

It Is a Weil Known Fact
Among physicians that Buohu Juni

are the best remedies in the world for
any disease of the bladder or kidneys,
and that not less than one-half of the
human family, both male aud female,
suffer from derangement of those or
gans, and negleot or failure to use
proper remedies hurry many to un
timely graves. Numerous oombina-
jtiona have been tried for gravel, brick
