GENERAL PRESENTMENTS OF GRAND
JURY.
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.

COUNTY TREASURER.

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

MI88I0N MEETING
The Woman’s Missionary and
Aid Society met at the First Bap
tist Church on Monday afternoon,
the 6th inst. A good attendance,
but not all the members present.
We hope to have more out at our
next meeting which will be held
on the 3rd of April. Our good
Bro. Nunnally met with us and
gave a splendid talk. 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 N. P’s. and Ex-
Officio J. P’s., viz.: 645th district,
G. M., J. S. Bruton; 746th district,
G. M., W. J. Coggiu; 1139th dis
trict, G. M., E. P. Glower; 1358th
district, G.M., W. B. Harris; 755th
district, G. M., S. R. Crain.
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. A Missionary.

closet be placed in the department
for white prisoners.

We have, through our several
committees, examined the records
of the Ordinary, Clerk of the Su
perior Court, Tax Receiver and
Sheriff, and find them neatly, and,
so far as we are able to ascertain,
correctly kept.
