We, the grand jurors drawn, se lected and sworn for the March term of the Superior Court of Coweta County for 1905, make the following general presentments: At this, the first term of the Superior Court held in the new court house, we compliment the County Commissioners of koads and Revenues, under whose direc tion the building was erected in 1904, upon the successful comple tion of this stately structure—this temple of justice—so well arranged for holding the courts, providing so well for the county officers, and for the preservation of the records. We congratulate our county on the possession of such a noble structure and trust it may increase the respect ot all our people tor the law. Our people naturally differed as to whether a new court house should be built at that time. We suggest that they treasure no unkind feeling toward those who favored, or toward those who op posed, the building. Rather let all, having good will toward all men, enjoy the blessings we have. COUNTY FARM. We have visited, through our committee, the county farm, and find the dwellings and farm in splendid condition. There are 23 inmates—13 white and 10 colored —all of whom seemed happy and contented, as far as we could as certain. Four milk cows, two of the County School Commis sioner, and find them nicely kept. We appeed hereto a statement of the account, as rendered to us by the commissioner. Report of County School Commissioner from Feb. 38, 1904 1904, to March 8,1906. RECEIPTS.

Last Attraction Alkahest Lyceum Course I 1 Old Homestead Male Quartette Company “"f Miss Nell Forbes, constitute the stock of the farm at present. The cows give ample milk for the farm. We also find plenty of feed, such as corn, fod der, meal and hulls with which to feed the stock until the next crop. It is estimated that it lakes about $1.25 per month each to feed and clothe the inmates, outside ot what the farm affords, which makes the farm nearly self-supporting. For the betterment of the sanitary con dition of the rooms of inmates— especially those of the sick—we recommend that they be white washed at once. We highly com mend Mr. Ctuce, the superintend ent, for his kind treatment of the inmates, as evidenced by their many expressions of praise of his services; and we further commend him for his economical manage ment of the farm. CONVICT CAMP. We have inspected, through our committee, the convict camp, and find the commissary well provided with clothing and provisions. The camp contains 20 felony and 12 misdemeanor convicts, who appear to be well fed and clothed. Each person seems to be doing a full man’s work, and the county is de riving the full benefit of their ser vices. There are nine blood hounds in the camp, that are being constantly trained. There are three guards on duty at the camp, j which we consider sufficient for I the safety of the prisoners. We suggest that the commissioners provide the camp with at least s x hogs, to consume the waste. We ! One of the best organizations on the road Auditorium March 25th.

He is al- ..., ...~ 6 ways willing to do all he can in instances where the officers , , any way to advance the cause of thousand dollars. We find the dockets of the J. P’s. and N. P’s. fairly well-kept, and complete in most instances. The only irregularity we find is in some have omitted their district num ber, and we would caution them to look to these omissions in fu ture. The dockets of the N. P’s. of 846th and 647th districts and J. P’s. of the 806th and 755th dis tricts have not been submitted to us for examination. RECOMMENDATIONS.

We recommend the appointment of the following as members of the County Board of Education, viz.: S E Leigh, full term; J C McKoy, full term; J T ArnaU, unexpired term of G D Pollock. We recommend that the pension roll of the county remain as it is. We recommend the payment of the bill of $33, as rendered to us by the clerk of the superior court. We recommend that the county commissioners introduce a system of books that will enable them to ascertain, at any time, the true financial status of the county’s affairs. We urgently request our Rep resentatives and Senator to use their best efforts to pass an *act his Master. The question of visiting came up. Some of the women think we don’t visit enough as a church. The writer is of the same opinion. We, as Christian people, should make six visits at least a week. In that way we could call on all our members every six months, and all the sinners and strangers thrown in. “True religion and undefiled, before God, the Father,” is this: To visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions and to keep our selves unspotted from the world. If we kept ourselves unspotted from the world we w u l have more time for doing good, and many the souls we might lead to Christ. Our earnest and unceas ing prayer is that the time may soon come when Christians will do all things to the glory of God and become thoroughly awake to the cause of missions, both home and foreign. May we all be led on and guided by the Holy Spirit, and the blessings of God rest on all his people.
