PIRKLE’S PICKLE.
THE STORY OF A REFUGEE MUR
DERER’S LIFE.
Zactpo from Jail—Ont In the World Once More—A
Second Arreat Followed by a Second Escape—
Assuming the Qarb of a Quiet Citizen—
111a integrity Again Established.
From the Jackson Herald.
One day last week Sheriff McEIhannon re
ceived the following letter through the mail:
Indian Springs, Batts county, Georgia,
March 21, 1882.—To the sheriff of Jackson
county. Sir: Was there a man in Jefferson
jail about six years ago for committing mur
der? There is a man living here by the name
of John Hawkins Pippinger. He is a tolera
bly heavy set man; his height is about six
feet; weight about 165 or 175; black hair and
whiskers; grey eyes. Why I am writing
this: if it be so, I think that justice ought to
take its course. I heard the statement from
his awn lips that he killed a half-breed—half
Indian and half white man—in Jackson county
with a white oak heart, and was imprisoned
in Jefferson jail for sate keeping, and he broke
{ ail and made his escape. Report say that
ic was married up there. Is it so? If so, lie
has married down here, and lias a wife and
two children. He lives three miles south of
Indian Springs, on a place that is called the
Morris place. The writer is a friend to jus
tice. I would be glad to know of his marry
ing. Please keep the writer to yourself, for
he has threatened to take my life if I
divulged on him. Seaborn Howard.
SUSPICION A ROUSED.
Sheriff McEIhannon at once divined that it
was Sanford T. I’irklc, who had killed John
C. Straynge, of this county, in the early part
of Jnnuary, 1875, up near the line of this
county and Hall. Pirkle escaped and quit
the county and was caught in IleKalbcounty,
but by some means lie again escaped, lie
then went to Tennessee, and remained until
in the fall, when he returned and visited his
wife, secretly, at night, and remaining out in
the woods in the day time. Not being
very particular about who he showed
himself to, it became noised about that he
was in the community, and several attempts
were made to catch hint, but all to no pur
pose. He was at last caught asleep in an out
house by Messrs. Findley and Davis, of Hall
county,’wbo received the reward for his cap
ture. lie remained in jail here for some
time, and made his escajic at the same time
that Kelley. Busby and a nc-grodid, by boring
out, and this was the last thut was publicly
known of him, the whole affair having al
most passed out of mind.
POLIO WED TO 1IIS I.Ant.
The above letter suggested to Sheriff McEI
hannon the propriety of going to see Mr.
Pippinger anyhow. Not knowing Sandford
Pirkle. lie took along with him Mr. Dank
Straynge, a brother to the murdered man,
in order to see if Mr. Pippinger was Sandford
Pirkle under an assumed name. After much
difficulty in locating the residence. PipptnjJPf
was arrested, and did not deny his identity,
and Sheriff JicTUhannon brought him back
with htm, find he is now lodged in jail at this
place. He had been living 1n Monroe county
almost ever since his escape, and was in very
fair circumstances; was. married and had two
children, notwithstanding ho had n living
wife and scvorul children in this county, and
Wits making a good citizen in the community.
ITllKLK'S SURPRISE.
When told the manner in which iiis where
abouts had become known he expressed great
surprise, and insists that he lias never told a
living soul as to his true identity except his
wife. ITjton inquiring amongst the citizens
of the community, Sheriff McEIhannon dis
covered that Seaborn Howard must be a fic
titious name, as no such person lived in that
coni in unity or county. Mr. Pirkle says that
he is of the opinion that the father of Ed and
Charles Kelley gave him away, because he
would not sign an affidavit that Charles stole
a mule instead of Ed, for which theft Ed had
been sent to the chain-gang. Pirkle says that
old man Kelley knew of his whereabouts, and
' came to him for that purpose. In regard to
the manner of his escape from the old jail in
this place, lie says that the hole was made
from the outside by Charles Kelley, and that
he was assisted hy some citizens of Jefferson,
but lie won’t tell who they were.

THE LIVERPOOL COTTON CIRCULAR.
Liverpool, April 6.—The weekly circular
of the Liverpool cotton broker’s association
says that cotton was in moderate demand,
which was freely supplied. Quotations are
unchanged. American was in moderate re
quest and prices arc unchanged. Sea Island
was in limited demand at firm prices. Fu
tures were inactive, closing quietly at a de
cline of l-64@l-32d.
COTTON SEED.
IU Value an Auxiliary Food for Horne* and Male*.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
The whole south is short of food stuffs, and hav
ing to buy at enormous prices, I take pleasure in
circulating through your paper the results of twelve
months experience in feeding cotton seed in the
rough state to my horses and mules, believing if it
was generally practiced it would save millions of
dollars to the southern people.
I have kept eotton seed in my horse troughs, say
one-half inch deep, and feed com, fodder dud oats
on lop of it. Itmlxes with tliecotton seed.mid the
horses and mules gradually learn to eat it. I also
sprinkle salt and ashes in small quantities o>'erthe
seed. They cat about one-half bushel of seed to
about ten head per day, and I think it saves me one-
half bushel of com u> every half bushel of seed
e^lcn, and it does the stock more good. They are
perfectly healthy, their hair keeps sleek and they
are generally iu good condition, i he hulls of the
seed can be seen fn their manure, with the kernel
thoroughly digested.
Of course it can only be used as an auxiliary feed
as with cattle. Few horses or mules care for it, but
I notice those which eat it best keep the fattest So
impicssud had 1 become with this cheap feed, that
I recently purchased in New York, of David Kahn-
weiler, a cotton seed hulicr, thinking they have a
smell which horses don't like, while the rough eot
ton seed has not, and 1 think the hulls act as a
roughness. Thi. cotton seed mill, however, is a
good corn cob and shuck chopper (the best I ever
saw), which is a most economical feed, and answers
better to mix with the cotton seed than com in the
car. B. \V. Makston.

A HUMAN MONSTER,

Special to the Cincinnati Gazette
Knoxville, Tknn., April 3.—One of the
most fiendish of murders was committed
about seven miles from this city early this
morning. An idle, worthless white man
named llett- Nance, living near McMillan
station with liis wife and lier little child
three years old. She claims to have been
marrieil to a man named Potter before she
knew Nance. The hovel in which they live,
is squalid, indeed, almost destitute of furni
ture, with a pile of straw and some rags for a
bed. Early this morning the woman was
awakened by the cries of her child, and found
that her brute of a husband
was mercilessly beating the helpless
creature. She protested mid tried to defend
the infant. Nance cursed lier for interfering
and finally kicked lier in the stomach ami
killed the child before lier eyes by beating its
bead against the edge of a plank. When the
woman knew the baby was dead she took the
bloody little form in lier arms, ran out the
door and filled the air with scream after
scream. ’Squire Stewart lives near by who
hurried, half dressed, to the cabin, to learn
the trouble. The woman stood in the door
way fondling the ghastly form and crying
piteously. Nance said he would kill her if
she told’ but she scarcely heard his threat,
and told the story of the murder while the
in human monster crouched in a corner of
the room. She was anxious io leave the
house, and before assistance could be pre-
cured Xance cscajied. Officers are searching
for him, and his capture is almost certain.

From the Little RtJCk Gazette.
Last September Henry James, a man well
known, was arrested oi\ a charge of grand
larceny. After the conventional trial, con
ventional because the facts sustaining the
theft were well sustained, James wa3 sen
tenced to the penitentiary for five years.
Mrs. James, wife of the convicted man,
worked faithfully to secure a pardon for
her husband. The petition presented was
pathetic. Five children, those signatures of
humanity—signatures which appeal to tjvery
man. The poor woman was 'jiicGtiraged in
hey efforts, $be -,va$ aSSUrecl that in due
thug a pardon would be issued. Yester
day Mrs. James came to the city and
called upon F. E. Bridges, her attorney.
“The pardon will no doubt be issued to
day,” said Mr. Bridges. “The governor has
promised executive clemency shall "be ex
tended.”
Shortly afterward the governor issued the
pardon. Mrs. James was excited with joy.
A telephone message was sent to the peniten
tiary. The reply said:
‘‘Henry James died at Lewisburg last De
cember.”
The poor women became frantic. For
months she had been hoping, praying, wait
ing. Tlie children’s inquiries would be an
swered by words of hope. The poor woman,
of course, did not believe that her husband
was guilty.
“I have waited so long,” she said, “My
children, who dearly love their father, have
waited. Night after night they would won
der if papa would be home by the next bed
time. Their earnestness made me credulous.
At last I began to look for the return of Hen
ry. 1 did not know but that his pardon
would be issued. Now what can 1 say to the
little tilings? Can I say that while they were
wondering how soon their father would be
home, while with hope I gave them they
were happy in expectancy, that he was dying
under guard, a convict?”
The condition of the poor woman is to be
pittied. She went home yesterday almost
heart-broken.
FROST AND FAMINE,
Washington, April 7.—Western dispatches
report a series of tornadoes yesterday at differ
ent points, from Kansas to Michigan, attended
by some remarkable evidences of the power of
the wind. Houses were demolished in many
places in Kansas, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan,
and lives were lost in all those states.
THE ANTICS OF THE STORM IN KANSAS.
The cyclone which started near Raymond,
Rice county, Kansas, last night moved in a
northerly direction, and prostrated the tele
graph poles when it crossed the Santa Fe rail
road track. John Wilson’s house was blown
down and Mrs. Wilson was killed, and a Mrs
Parker was fatally injured. Several other
jarge and strongly built bouses were demol
ished in the neighborhood. Proceeding north
ward, the storm struck the new and thriving
town of. Chase, demolishing twenty out of
twenty-six buildings in the place, anil throw
ing the cars from the track. Mr. Read, the
hotel keeper, was killed, and his wife was
fatally injured. Another woman and a child
were also killed.
A COMPANION CYCLONE.
At about the same time in the evening a
small cyclone passed through the eastern part
of the country, but it did but little damage.
It was accompanied by a variable waterspout.
In some places tlie wind sucked all the water
out of the wells. As the clouds approached
Chase it was in the shape of a funnel, whist
ling and twisting with fearful velocity. All
the inhabitants of Chase were more or less
.injured_, but few escaping without a hurt of
some kind. Tlie people are living in box
cars, and many families are in a destitute con
dition.
SWEEPING THROUGH ILLINOIS.
A special to the Chicago Evening Journal
says: A terrific tornado swept through the
township' of Kalamo, Eaton county, last
night, doing immense damage and killing a
large quantity of live stock. Several lives are
reported lost, and many persons are said to
have been injured. The place is remote from
travel and telegraph. Later advices say that
in Oakland county Lafayette Randall, his sis
ter, and a little boy and Mrs. Henry Tyler
were killed. A little daughter of Tyler had
her arm so badly crushed that amputation
was necessary. Miss Cora Ward was also in
jured. The debris of the house had the ap
pearance of having been toiai up by an ex
plosion. Everything has been ground to
atoms. A hbrsS was blown out of a barn and
found afterwards in a distant
field covered with mud. An idiot
sister of Horace Sherman, of Kansas. wilS
killed. His aunt’s leg. was bPOkfift. His
wife’s jaw was dislocate!!, Mid tlie whale fam
ily were carried a distance of fifty rods by the
storm and thrown into the swamp badlv
bruised.
I HAVOC IN MICHIGAN.
News comes of a terrible hurricane passing
near Highland station on the Flint and
Pierre Marquette road, south of Holy early
last evening. Tlie extent of the damage is
not yet known, as the telegraph line was
blown down, and the railroad agent walked
to Clyde and sent what was learned.
When he left, the dwelling of
man named Caldwell was blown
down, killing Crandall and one child, and se
verely injuring another child. A lady named
Taylor, of Pontiac, was also killed. Several
other persons were more or less injured. The
hurricane covered an area of less than half a
mile wide, but it is reported to have levelled
everything in its path.
THE DAMAGE ESTIMATED.
At »ix o’clock last evensng the tornado
swept over the territory northeast of Midland
village, twenty miles west of Saginaw, doing
considerable damage. The residence of a
farmer named E. E. Walton was lifted ur
and capsized, tearing into pieces. The wreck
took fire from the stove and was burned up.
The family are all injured.
ulars of which, iu brief, are that during the
absence of the mother the child left his
father who was splitting rails a short distance
from the house, and proceeding to the house
alone and unobserved caught fire while at
tempting to remove potatoes from the burn
ing coals. The little unfortunate ran towards
his father, but before assistance could be
rendered he was so severely burned that
death ensued in a few hours afterwards. We
offer our sincere condolence to tlie bereaved
parents.

"Governor Brown will see you in his private
room,” was the response which a Constitu
tion reporter received last night in answer to
his card sent in to Sonatoi Brown. Tlie re-
porter found the senator reclining in an easy
chair, suffering from a severe cough, and evi
dently not enjoying liis accustomed health.
“Governor,” remarked the reporter, “The
Constitution would like to inquire concerning
your throat troubles.”
“You are doubtless aware,” answered Sena
tor Brown, “that my throat has been troub
ling me forseveral years. I have been troubled
with it for six years now. About the middle
of March 1 caught a severe sore throat, which
resulted in a return of my cough. My physi
cian, Dr. Wales, of Washington, advised me
to come home, as he considered that such a
change of climate would benefit me.”
“When did you leave Washington?”
“Tuesday. I arrived here yesterday-”
“You were out of the city to-day, were yoft
not?”
“Yes. I went up to the iron works at Rog
ers. Dr. Wales advises me to spond as much
time as possible in the open air."
“How long will you be in the city?"
“1 have no idea. It all deoends on my
cough and throat.”
’How is vour general health?”
“As good as usual.”
“What is the news from Mr. Hill?”
“I had a long letter from Mr. Hill the other
day. He said that he would be able to be in
his seat again in two or three weeks. He is
more hopeful than lie has been heretofore."

Klcht Hundred Railroad Pmuncm Frozen In the
Canadian Wild*.
Winnifeg, Manitoba, April 6.—A Canadian
Pacific train, with 800 emigrants, is frozen in
three miles from the nearest source of supply.
Provisions are being carried to it by a relief
train. It will be three or four days before the
train can be got out.
(1 Captain Nizwan, who returned partly on
foot and partly by sleigh, says a man is dying
in the train, and that it is piteous to hear lit
tle children crying for bread duringthe night.
A barrel of kuiscuit and one cheese were dis
covered on board and were dealt out, so there
is no danger of starvation, but there is of fuel
and light giving out.
April Processions.
From the Griffin News.
A novel turnout was on our streets the
other day. A negro boy, say eight years old,
and a negro girl about six years old, were on
our streets with a yearling, perhaps two years
old, hitched to a small cart with straight pine
pole shafts. The yearling seemed untrained,
though docile. The boy walked on the left
side of the turnout and the girl on the right,
each holding on to tlie shaft on their respective
sides. When tlie boy wanted to turn to the
left lie pulled liis shaft and turned his team,
and when he wanted to turn to the right he
would holler out, “Pull that shaft, Sal;” and
thus they went.
Yesterday evening another novel turnout
was on our*streets; this, however, was quite a
contrast to the other. There were eight fancy
baby carriages, about half of them double-
sealed—there were three babies in one carri
age and two babies in some others—all the
carriages formed a grand procession on Broad
way. The carriages were all drives by young
colored women, who seemed to be dressed for
the occasion, and all moved* in good order.
Tlie sight was quite imposing and every bach
elor in Griffin ought to have witnessed it.

From Dr. W. P. DeLaperriere, who was iu

Jasper Thompson’s mills. It appears that
they had a dispute about a mule, axd com

got shot in the ieg.
A LENTEN DREAM.
The lights are out, the play is done.
The joyous hap y time has lied;
I sit alone as with the dead
And wish the play were half begun.
Before my musing vision rise
Fair phantoms from life's passing stream.
And in a sweet, delightful dream
I mingle reverie with sighs.
Like wrecks upon youth’s golden strand
Lie relics of that blissful time—
A flower, a lock of hair, a rhyme,
A tiny glove from one fair hand.
Nay! here are other locks of hair.
More faded flowers, of gloves a score;
Of dainty, scented notes some more—
My trophies. Ah! I must beware.
I’ve tasted well of every dish
That pleasure spreads within its hall;
But now I’ve bid adieu to all.
And live on memories—and fish.

The Condition and Pi-wpect* of thelCrop* of the State,
From the Toccoa News.
Small grain crops cqntinue to look well
and an abundant yield is anticipated.
From the Fort Valley Mirror.
Ten days ago most of tlie peach trees had
failed to bloom and another failure of tlie
fruit crop was anticipated, but we are now
; ileased to note that the trees are all in full
doom and we may safely look for an abun
dant yield.
From the Franklin Register.
We think farmers are generally pretty well
up with their work.
The wheat and oat crop between this place
and Carnesville is looking finely.
If we have no more frost we will have some
peaches yet,
From the Cuthbert A_ _
Farmers are as busy as beavers planting
cotton.
The yield of oats and wheat in this section
this season will surpass that of any year since
tlie war. A much larger acreage than usual
was sown, and the seasons have been favora
ble. More com lias been planted and better
stands obtained than ever before. Surely
there’s life in the land, and day is breaking.'
From the Hamilton Journal.
The fruit crop of the county is considered
out of danger front frost, and the pospeet is
good for a large crop.
The oat ami wheat crop »i>e growing more
irontising, and if there is no-disaster an abun
ant harvest will be garnered.
•Upland corn planting is about over and tbe
increased area, with fair seasons, will diminish
the number of mortgages next year.
The heavy rains have retarded farming op
erations and with the dry spell since ha/v«
made the bedding of cotton land a difficult
tasK.
From the Meriwether Vindicator.
Friends from different portions of tbe
county in town last Tuesday reported the
wheat and oat crops as most promising. In
some localities the fruit has been partly killed,
but still enough left for a good crop. In roost
places the peaches are uninjured and
the trees are full of fruit. Up to date no ma
terial damage lias resulted to the grain or
fruit crops front the cold weather. The farm
ers are represented* as plying all their ener
gies towards the preparation for this year's
corn and cotton crops. Owing .to the recent
heavy rains the com seems to be coming up
slowly. The weather prophets fear a cola
snap about the time of new moon but think
if we escape that, all dread of a late frost may
be safely banished. Though money is scarce
and provisions and farm supplies high the
people are hopeful.
A Colored Amazon.
From tbe Early Comity News.
Tke sheriff of Henry county, Ala., had an
interesting experience in oar county, on the
27th inst. He came across the river to arrest
a darkey named Nathan Powell, who had
swindled a merchant in Columbia by mort
gaging him property that had been previously
mortgaged in the state. Armed with a requi
sition from the governor of Alabama, the
deputy proceeded to make tbe arrest, but
when l*c laid bands npon Nathan, the wife
of the latter came to his rescue with a double
barreled shotgun in lier hand, with which
she tapped the officer over the head, and
thus enabled her husband to escape. She
soon followed, end both succeeded in making
their escape. Nathan has the reputation in
this county of being a great scoundrel.

“I have sold four tons of fish this week,”
remarked a dealer to a Constitution reporter
yesterday.
“Is that anything nnusual?” cooly asked
tlie unmoved reporter.
“Oh, no; nothing strange. It only happens
that twelve years ago when I was the only
dealer in town, I used to bring in a barrel of
fish at a time and half of them would spoil
before I could close them out. I thought
that you might make a note of it to show
than what a fish market Atlanta has grown
to be.”
“That’s all right. How many fish are sold
here in a season?”
“I think that this niarketwill average more
two tons a week the year round.”
“Where do the fish come from?”
“Wt are well situated for getting fish from
everywhere. You see that box there? Well,
we call that box a car. It holds 1100
pounds of fish, and in that car we get salmon
from the lakes. It is filled in now with fish
from lake Erie.”
"What else have yon from the lakes?”
“We have pickerel, yellow perch, and
trout.” ”
“When did trout begin to come in?”
“About a week ago.”
“What are they worth?”
“Fresh water trout are 1214 cents a pound
and salt water trout are ten cents.”
“There is a disembowled red snapper,
where did he come from?”
“Tlie gulf of Mexico.”
“When did he arrive?”
“We tell’em that he came to-day, but I
would not make affidavit that Jhe hasn’t been
here a week.”
“The fact is,” continued the fish dealer, “a
fish is as good a week after be arrives as be is
the day he gets here, if he is well cared for
with ice. bee how hard and firm that snap
per’s flesh is. But if we tell a man that that
fish is a week old he won’t buy bint, so we
never have any fish on hand that do not ar
rive on the day on which they are offered for
sale.”
“What have you in the way of shad?”
“We have some very fine Janies river shad
at a low price.”
“Arrived to-day?”
“Of course.”
“How much?”
“From, ’tnirty to fifty cents apiece. This is
a good shad market. We follow the shad
Wherever they go and come back with them.”
“What else have you?”
"We have here the whiting, a very popular
fish from Charleston. We sell a great many
of them to the Charlestonians who are in the
city.”
“When is the proper time in which to eat
fish?”
“I am satisfied that the summer months are
tlie months for fish eating. The first thing
that I did in the fish business here was to get
tbe people to use fish in winter, and now I
have convinced them that ajmmer is the
proper time in which to eat fish.”
A Rich Mine.
Froin the Dahlonega Signal.
Supposing that anything relative to our
prosperity will interest your readers, I will
give you some account of our newly-discover
ed vein on the Teel mine. To establish be
yond a doubt in my mind the fact of its being
fissure, its course is directly across the track
of all our veins heretofore discovered, which
lie northeast and southwest. This vein Cuts
them at right angles, and cuts them sure
enough, making as clear a fissure through the
solid rock as it does in the soft formation,
and carries all its material character of
mineral Mr miles. The outcrop at the sur
face is particularly well defined, and can be
traced from the Teel mine, where it has been
struck so rich through the adjoining lot to
the Lamar, where it has been opened. Sev

A Family Poisoned.
From tbe Fort Valley Mirror.
We learned yesterday of a wholesale poison
ing in -Crawford county, which came near
causing tbe death of Mr Yancey Jordan and
family. It seems that William White, col
ored, had bound his 13 year old son to Mr.
Jordan for the present year. The boy grew
tired of working foe Mr. Jordan, and decided
to poison the whole family, and thus enable
himself to change bis home. Accordingly he
famil
emptied a box of rat poison into the family
coffee pot, just before the breakfast hour on
Tuesday morning -last. Mr. Jordan, wife and
children, all drank of the coffee, and soon be
gan to grow sick. Concluding-that they had
all been poisoned, emetics were -quickly ad
ministered, and the family soon got relief.
Mr.-Jordan suspected the boy of the crime,
and he was arrested and taken -before Justice
Roland for trial. He was convicted and after
the trial acknowledged having taken the rat
poison from a shelf in the cook room and
emptied it into the coffee pot. He was taken
to Knoxville yesterday and placed in jail.

Fayette superior court, March term, 1882—Wc, the
grand jury empaneled and sworn for the March
term, 1882, submit the following general present
ment:
We, through our committee, have examined the
books of the various officers of the county, and find
them neatly aud correctly kept
We find that the tax collector hascollectcd85,315.-
00, and paid out as shown by the proper vouchers,
$5,315.06, and find that the treasurer has received
fiom the tax collector $4,702.12, also from W. J. Gay,
road commissioner, fines collected from defaulting
road hands, 85; deducted commissions, 8235,35,
and paid out upon proper vouchers, $3,244.06, leav-
iug a balance on hand of $1,227.71. Wc also find
that the treasurer of the board of commissioners of
roads and revenues, had on hand at the report of
Ute last grand jury *95.37, and received since from
all sources (622.90, and paid out on proper vouchers
8757,71, leaving a balance in favor of L. F. Blalock,
treasurer, 839,44. Wo find that the court house is
iu need of some repairs, also the fencing around
tho same, and also find that the jail house is badly
in need of some repairs. <Ve recommend that the
county commissioners have all the leaks in tlie
court house and jail repaired at once; also the fenc
ing around the court house. We further recommend
that one bunk aud mattress be furnish
ed to each cell of the jail, and wick
ets be cut through the doors of the
same for the purpose of feeding tlie prisoners; and
we also recommend that the commissioners have a
veranda built in front of tbe jail. Wc visited the
pauper farm and find the same in a high state of
cultivation, the fencing in good condition, the
farming tools properly caied for, and the stock iu
good order. We also find the houses neatly kept,
except the houses of James Davis and Peter Gay;
we find the inmates seven iu number, in a helpless
condition,.with the exception of two, and wc recom
mend that a cook be furnished to cook for the help
less inmates and to keep tho houses in a neat con
dition. We also recommend that tobacco be fur
nished to those who use it, and that Peter Gsy be
furnished with a truss; and we further recommend
that Eliza Copage be placed upon the pauper list,
and that Mrs. Margaret Wesley.Susan Walker. Mary
Lyons and Mr*. Whaley be paid-twenty-five dollars
each; and that i&chi'.riah, Louisa aud Patience
Gentry, invalid children of Lucinda Gentry, be
paid ten dollars each. We find the public roads
throughout the county to be in a very bad condi
tion, and we recommend the road commissioners to
have the same put in the condition tbat the law n>
quires; they should be before the September tcWr
of the superior court of this county. We find that,
there is a necessity for a bridge at what fe known
as Eason’s ford, on Morning creek, said
ford being almost impassable; and we
also recommend the building o*
the same, aud we call attention to the commission-,
era of roads and revenues to the fords across Line
creek, known as Bush's ford, and if they find it
necessary, we recommend the building of a bridge
at that place. We recommend that W. T. Glower
and John Lester be reappointed members of the
educational board of this county, and that D. A.
Brown be appointed to fill the vacancy of O. G._
Woolsey.
We recommend the appointmentof L. F. Blalock,,
W. S. Milner, B. L. Johnson, C. W. Hasten and E.
\V. Leach, jr., os commissioners of roads and reven-.
ues for this county. We recommend that the jailer
receive forty cents per day for the board of each
prisoner: and we also recommend that all fines and.
forfeitures collected at each term of the court be
paid into the hands of the county treasurer as the.
law direct. We find that the county school com
missioner has received and had on hand $2,706.97,
and paid out on proper vouchers, S2.G24.51, leaving
a balance in hfe hands of 882.43.

manner in which he has presided over this court
during the present week; and we also tender our
thanks toll. M. Reid,the solicitor general, forcour-
tesies shown our body during the present term of the
