We find the work done on the public i ads by 1 he Ordinary has been satisfactory and recom mend that he continue in the same manner, and that no County Com¬ missioners be appoin'ed. \\ recommend that the Ordi¬ nary proceed at once to have the county Jim run between DeKnlb and Rockdale counties. Pensions. We bavoexamined the pension list presented for our considera tirn, and recommend that no names be dropped for cause. Notary Public & Justice Peaces. W e have examined the dockets of the Justices of Peace and Nota¬ ry Publics in the different dis¬ tricts, and from the records shown, they appear to lie properly kept. But we find from other sources that the Justices of Peace in some instances are not keeping a com¬ plete record of all cases coining be¬ fore them, and recommend that all cases be docketed as soon as war rents have been issued, and l ot hold them over pending set¬ tlements. We find tho Auditors report a very elaborate one. showing that no irregularities exist in the books of the following County officers: viz, the Ordinary and Treasurer. We find a small amount of in¬ terest, that Collectors E. T . Cook and W G. Clotfelter failed to col¬ lect frtm delinquent tax payers, which we note was never collected before, ami we recommend that thev be released from paying the ba me into the Countv treasurer. We further recommend that the Tax Collector of the County be required to keep cash book the record of all moneys And disbursements made. That he be required to issue Kdol f? Dyspepsia Cure digestants and digests all kinds of fcjjg food you want. The most sensitive cured after evervtbing else failed. It xiietiDg unnecessary. Pleasant to take.

From the Auditors report we find that the Sheriff keeps no books. We recommend that the Sher iff keep a book upon which to en¬ ter the names of a ! l prisoners corning- under his charge, and to state what disposition has been j j made of said prisoners, stating the amounts of fines imposed, if paid,! by whom and what disposition j was made of the proceeds. If fines worked out, state to whom the prisoners were turned over and for what length of time. That he shall keep a record of a q money’s coming into his hands fiom the Or hnary, and any other source pertaining to his office, for n .j ia ^ purpose, when, and liow imicn. : We also find from the Auditors report that the Sheriff has failed to account for t he following bonds that were forfeited: W, J. Dot tery for $100.00 and Cornelius Mc¬ Whorter for $100.00, and recom¬ mend that the same be collected at once. We find from our tax digest that some of the property was re¬ turned for less than its value, and we herewith attach a list of the same, and reccommend that the same be collected as the law re¬ quires. We find the druggists keep a record of poisonous drugs sold as the law On account of the absence of the County School Commissioner, we are.unable to make any report, from his department. We recommend that Grand & Petit jurors and Bailiffs he paid $2.00 per diem and riding Bailiffs bo paid $ 8.00 per diem for the year 1902. We also recommend that these presentments be published in the official Organ of the County and that they receive $ 10,00 for the same. We tender our thanks to his Honor Judge John S.
