7 cows, 1 wagon, 1 buggy, 260 bushels
corn. 4,000 bundles fodder, and 15 buBb
els of peas. We find the inmates are
well pleased with the superintendent of
the farm. We find that some of the
houses at the farm need repairing.

75 suite.
j. p.'s AND n. p.’s.
We have examined the dockets of
the N. P.’s and J. P.’s and find that
they have been correctly kept and in
good order, as far as we can find out.
Wo recommend that W. C. Kinnard
be appointed N. P. and ex-officio J. P.
for the 646th district, G. M.
We also recommend that R. K. Bran
denburg be appointed N. P. and ex-
officio J. P. for the 1393d (Haralson)
district, G. M.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
We have heard with approval that the
County Commissioners are considering
the erection of a bridge at Jones’ ferry
across the Chattahoochee river, and
believe that this public Improvement
will be of great benefit to the traveling
public, and to the advantage of Coweta
county. This step foaward is done in
the interest of conservative progress,
and we think that future generations
will benefit by this bridge, as well as
those of us living at this time.
We also notice that the main work
of the county convict force is employed
on the principal highways of tjie coun
ty, but we urge the County Commis
sioners to commence on the lateral
roadB of the county at the earliest pos
sible time. Some of the roads are not
in good condition, owing to apparent
neglect. However, we feel that the
Commissioners are doing their duty as
they see it. We appreciate the manner
in which they aro conducting the af
fairs of the county, especially as it is
done at a great sacrifice of personal
time. We also recommend to the Com
missioners that the supervisors in the
various districts be instructed to give
thoir personal attention to bad places
in roads and bridges as early as practi
cable.
We recommend that the County Com
missioners be paid as extra compensa
tion $50 in addition to their present sal
ary, and that the chairman of the board
bo paid $100 additional.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We have examined the court-house
and jail. We recommend the following
repairs for the jail: That the walls
and ceilings of the interior be calci-
mined or whitewashed, in order that
the same may be rendered more sani
tary. We find the cushion in the crazy-
room needs repairs; alao, the outside
screens need paint. Some loose tiling
on the roof needs replacing. We also
recommend that a substantial fence be
bnllt around the jail building, leaving
out the front yard. We also recom
mend a coal bin of sufficient size to
hold the supply needed. We find the
jail in good condition otherwise, and
neatly kept. We commend the jailer
for his diligence and care in keeping
the jail.
As to the court-house, we find that
the ceiling of the outside porches all
need painting. Also, the steps at the
north entrance need repair. We also
recommend that, if possible, a drain be
made from the basement of the court
house, to prevent the accumulation of
rainwater in same. We also recommend
that electric lights be provided for the
vaults in the Ordinary's office, the
Clerk’s office, the County Commission'
ers’s office and the Sheriff’s office. We
also find a serious defect in the plaster
ing of ceiling in the Clerk's office, sup-
posed to have been caused by a leaky
pipe from a radiator. We recommend
that this be repaired. Otherwise we
find the court-house in good condition
and neatly kept.
PISTOL-TOTING AND “BLIND TIGERS.”
It is with deep concern that we notice
the prevalent custom among certain
classes of the habit of "pistol-toting,"
and urge the officers of this county to
be vigilant in apprehending all who
carry pistols, and bring them to jus
tice. We confess that this habit has
been the cause of more trouble than
any one bad habit; and suggest that
extra vigilance be kept on thls'clasa of
people.
Wn recognize the fact that a great
many "blind tigera” are aaid to exist
in Coweta county, and while we feel
that we have dona our duty in trying
to suppress this evil, yet we notice
that very few such cases have been
brought before us for our consideration,
and wish to impress upon all officers
and good citiaens that it is their duty
to assist the county in bringing jguilty
once to justice.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
We recommend that sd election for
bonds be called for road and bridge
building at as early a date as practica
ble, while money is at a favorable rate
of interest.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in The Newnan
Herald and Senoia Enterprise-Gazette,
and that they each be paid $10 for
same.
We recommend that L. E. Snead be
paid $5 for stenographic work.
We extend to Judge R. W. Freeman
sincere assurances of our deep apprecia
tion of his explicit charge, especially
as it was a deep incentive to all of us
and inspired us to a greater sense of
duty as citizens.
To Solicitor J. R. Terrell we express
our kindest sentiments, and thank him
most cordially for his untiring efforts
in our behalf, and also for his persever
ing work in representing the court.
We also thank our bailiff, Mr. John
Henry Bailey, who has faithful y
served us during our session,

The Season of Lent.
The season of sackcloth and ashes
has arrived, and gayeties will be tem
porarily suspended during the ensuing
forty days.
So many times haB the question been
asked: "How is Lenten determined?”
It is a very Bimple matter, if^you
ive an almanac or a diary whicii gives
the dates of occurrence of the full moon.
There is a full moon some time be
tween the 21st and the 31st of April.
The first Sunday after that full moon
is Easter Sunday. If the full moon oc
curs on the 21st, and if the 21st hap
pens to be Sunday, Easter is the Sun
day after-or the 28th of April.
Ash Wednesday is the forty-sixth
day before Easter.
It is interesting to note that Easter
has not occurred on its earliest date
(March 22) since 1818, and does not
occur so early agaiti in this century.
Lent really means to those who fol
low its observance that they be infused
with a moral and spiritual light from
the Son of Righteousness; that they
shall pass on that light, undimmed, to
others\ and by deed and word exalt the
praise, honor, worship and obedience
of our Heavenly Father.
It is undeniable that Lent, under
taken and observed in this spirit, and
with a determination. growing out of
a sense of need for ourselves and for
others, ought to effect a revival of re
ligion in those who are already Chris
tians, and impress many who are not
Proper Treatment For Biliousness.
For a long time Miss Lula Skelton,
Churchville, N. Y 1 ., was bilious and bad
Bick headache and dizzy spells. Cham
berlain’s Tablets were the only thing
that gave her permanent relief. Ob
tainable everywhere.
Indigestion, Gastritis, Nerves.
Savannah, Ga.—'"Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery .1 praise highly as
it was the means of my return to
health when I was greatly run-down
nnd lacked vigor, strength, blood and
nerve tone, j was simply a nervous
wreck— lacking in vitality and had
grown quite thin. I could not gain in
flesh as I was suffering from indiges
tion and gastritis. My liver was very
inactive and in consequence my food
would ferment and create a great
amount of gas. My nervous system
was deranged also and I did not sleep
well at night. The ‘ Discovery ’ cer
tainly met yonr claims. After I had
taken four bottles it corrected my
constipation in addition to restoring
my health.”—Mrs. L. Carlyle, 204

“Which is the more important to the
world—this penny or the sun?” asked a
man of a woman who was pushing her
self to an early grave by worry.
“Why, the sun, of course,” replied
the woman.
"All right; now take the penny, put
it close to your eye, and it shuts out
the sun, doesn’t it?"
The woman tried the experiment and
replied wonderingly: “Why, yes.”
“Well, then, my dear woman, you
are allowing a penny, in the shape of
small worries, to shut out the
sun in your life. Suppose, now, the
next time a worry comes along you
ask yourself the question: ‘Isn’t this
about as small as a penny?’ ”
The woman did, and it cured her.
