It seems that our valley cannot
get along in peace. It seems
about the time they get things
adjusted something else turns up.
I saw John Childs a few days ago
and he told me that he had made
a sort of compromise with them. H e
said that he had sacrificed all of
his machinery except an old sash •
ioued cracking reel and an old
fashioned loom.He has been notifi
ed that they will not be blown up.
Poor Bill Short’s conduct has
caused a great deal of excitement.
Good men are being accused of
turning traitors, men that I know
did all that was in their power to
get matters straight. There sure
ly has been some misunderstand
ing about matters. Poor Bill! it
seems that be was born on the
•wrong of the mooD. Surely the
way of the transgressor is hard.
Louis Jones one of the best
young men of the Furnace has

We attended a singing Sunday
evening and while they were

weep. He will come back.

In the issue of the Messenger
of March Ist, there were two er
rors in regard to Mr. Upson Pow
ell’s child that died.
The twins were girls, Sylvester
aud Daisy, and dear little Daisy,
aged two years and fifteen days,
was the one that died February
23rd.
The child did not take cold and
the change from pneumonia to
catarrhal fever was very sudden,
Her doctor saw her at 3 p. m.
on the 23rd anJ said nothing
about catarrhal fever, but when
he came at 12 m. that night and
found her dying he said the
pneumonia had changed to ca
tarrhal fever.

Tlnee days is a very short
time in which to cure a bad case
of rheumatism; but it can bedone,
if the proper treatment is adopted,
as will be seen by the following
from James Lambert, of New
Brunswick, Ills: “I was badly
afflicted with rheumatism in the
hips and legs, when I bought a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm. It cured me in three days.
I am all right to-day; and would
insist on every one who is afflicted
with that terrible disease to use
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and get
well at once.” 50 cent bottles

The infant child of Mr. and
Mrs. Andy Burk died last week.
We extend to them our sympa
thy in their sad bereavemont and
entreat them to seek that conso
lation that a well founded hope in
again meeting their little one
where earth has no dominion
can give. May they realize that
God’s ways are mysterious to the
children ol men and that a prepa
ration for the Kingdom above is
the only sure foundation on which
to predicate a hope of ever again
meeting their babe.
Avery and his good wife were
the first friends we ever met in
Walker connty. Their kindness
to us while a stranger will ever be
in our memory. God grant that
their late bereavement may be ‘
the means of bringing them and
theirs safe into the kinjapdorn.

ther the County Judge, Sheriff or

As to clothing, we find every
thing according to law, except
socks. As to socks, they have
none, nor ever liavo had at this

keeper as an excuse that no camp
in the state furnishes socks.
In addition to requirements of
law we find good bath rooms
equal to number of convicts.
As to diet a sufficient amount
of corn-bread, bulk meat and on
ions. And by examination of the
book we find them supplied with
beef once a week, vegetables
twice, flour twice, peas twice and
syrup once.
We visited the miuesand found
them in a healthful condition;well
ventilated and safe.

complaint by convicts; that their
task is very heavy.

We the Grand Jury, have this
to say in regard to the tasking of
oonvicts.
From evidence gained through
disinterested parties we are in
formed that as many as one hun-
dred convicts are whipped almost
every day—from ihe fact that they
are tasked too heavily.
Wo especially call the attention
of the principal keeper of the
penitentiary or his assistant to
this complaint and request that
they diligently look into the mat
ter, if from no other reason, for
the sake of humanity.
We recommend that the Board
of Roads and Revenue appropri
ate a sufficient amount of money,
with the amount subscribed by
citizens, to build a road across
Dick’s Ridge at what is known as
the Walraveu gap.
Tim body haying had a peti
tion from Mrs, Jane W. Bryan, J.
T. Stephens and Henry Powell,
praying that the line between
Dade and Walker Counties be
changed, we recommend that
the line between the counties re
main as surveyed and mapped
out in 1892.
We recommend that parties
having business before the Grand
Juries appear before that body
within the first three days of
court when possible, so that wit
nesses may be obtained, and bus
iness speedily disposed with;
thereby saving much expense to
the county. ‘
In taking leave of the court,we,
the Grand Jury, return thanks to '
his Honor W. M. Henry and So
licitor Nunnally for courtesies
shown this body. Also we wish ,
to thank other court officials for (
favors tendered us. ,
We recommend that theSoGen- (
eral Presentments be published j
in the Walker County Meosen- ,

Cough Remedy and do not want
any other,’’ says John V. Bishop,
of Portland Mills, Indiana. That

superior to any other for colds,

croup, and why should they not
insist upon having it. GO cent
