The Camp has been usin ouniy raised corn, syrup and meat • hich we highly recommend, an ■ ust that they do this in the luture, i .iey can get it at the market price. Article 3. Court House and Jail We find these in fairly good ccnd, .on.

Bridges We find quite a number of th iridges in good condition, while I eed immediate attention; Mercers iridge, Crawford Mill bridge, th hepherd bridge, the aßrtow bridge ong Bridge, Outlers bridge, Gainey: ridge and Thompson bridge. Article 6. Books We find in the Justice of Peam lockets, the cost not itemized on ac cunt of lack of space and we recom nend that Justice Court book, fori ;o. 36, manufactured by Foote f )avies Co., like H. E. Wheeler's book g Dist. 1505. be purchased and usei xclrsively Article 7. Books We find that the recommendatioi at.o by the last Grand Jury regan g the County Officer’s books hr een ce.rplied wilh and after caret'. ivestigatFn, we submit the followin; ■eport of the auditors: There is a deficiency of $1,460.10 i he Tax Collector’s accounts forth ear 1913. and $129.91 for the yer 914, $136.97 for the year 1911. sl’7 ‘ n 1916 settlements, making a total o 1,864.96 within the past four years. We find that the Treasurer for 191 vas overpaid $132.06 in 1914 that h vas underpaid $85.42, in 1915 he w: mderpaii $108.76 and 1916 he wr verpaid $427.59, or leaving a net ba nee due the County cf $365 47, an 'nd that $52.55 was not deposited 1 he Treasurer, making a total baVm lue the Co. nty from the Count' 'reasurer for the years 1913, 191 915, 1916 of $418.02. leaving a tot letaciency of $2,282.98. The records shaw a balance of v collected railroad tax of $1,281.95, d rem the Central r s Georgia Railwe Co., for the year 1913. We recommend that the Coun 1 Commissioners take the proper s’e’ to collect these deficiencies. We fir no report only on the Tax Collector and Treas: rer's office and the expent itures of the County. All tbe rest the Ccunty officers’ books are omitte and we think that they should hav been examined. It will be seen from the details r the expenditures submitted of th’ County Farm that the average cost r support per capita, granting that th average number will not exceed ten. ' 49 cents per day. We believe th' cost, as compared to the c st of sue) support in other counties to be excess 've. In our opinion this cost shoub be reel cod to a nom'nal figure b m^re n'ethndo and increased ; productions at the farm. Article 8. Fees.

Help for Bronchial Trouble and Cough “Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound acts more like a food than a medicine.’' Mr. Will G. Richmond, Inglewood, Calif., says:—“l wish to recommend Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound as it has greatly benefitted me for bronchial trouble and cough. It acts so well in harmony with nature that it is more like a food than a medicine.” Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound has a wonderfully quick way of soothing and healing the raw tickling surface of the throat and bronchial tubes. It eases the tightness over the chest, raises the phlegm easily, and helps the stubborn racking cough that is so ex hausting and weakening. It is the best medicine you can buy, and better than anything you can make, for coughs, colds, spasmodic croup, whooping cough, la grippe and bron chial coughs, hoarseness, tickling throat and stuffy wheezy breathing. It contains no opiates, and is acceptable to the most sensitive stomach. * * * Every user la a friend. ; I Recommend Peruna To HI no Sufferers Os Catarrh- Myrtle St., Beverly, Mass., writes: "I nrhinlr T have take n four bottles of Peruna, A Ullin.

His Sixteen Years’ Suffering Now Ended "I ciin say with the greatest of Pleasure that Foley Kidney Pills were he only thing that gave me relief In sixteen years.” Mr. G. W. Henderson of Dingle, Miss., says more than that, too. He suffered with cystitis (inflammation of the bladder). It went on until ho reache-l the point where he had dizzy, weak spells, and sometimes he would almost faint with pain. Os course, he doctored, went off to the mineral springs and drank waters of different kinds, which altogether cost him a large sum of money. Still no per manent relief. Now comes a friend who recommends Foley Kidney Pills, and after using half a dozen bottles, his pains are all gone, he sleeps soundly all night. When kidney and bladder trouble comes orx you and you suffer the pains and aches it causes, have irregular, painful secretions and a burning sen sation, take Foley’s Kidney Pills at once and you will echo Mr. Hender son's sentiments.
