tach saute hereto. We have also
received, adopted and attach here¬
to, as a part hereof, the report of
the Finance Committee appointed
by the last Grand Jury.
We have examined the dockets of
the various Justices of the Peace
and Notfirys Public and find them
correct, and only lawful fees have

of the jail very good, but we find
that there are two or three window
lights out; one of the stove flues is
in bad condition; there is some
paper hanging down from the ceil¬
ing against one stove flue which
njakgs it dangerous for fire, and
there is a hole where- one of the
recent escapes was effected, all of
which we recommend have prompt
attention, and we also find that
there is not enough bedding or
covering to keep prisoners warm
and, in the interest of humanity,
we recommend that this be looked
after at once. W? that
there is some plastering off of the
walls which should be attended to.
In taking leave of the Court we
beg to express our thanks to Judge
Jones for his fair and impartial
administration of the law. VVe
also thank our Solicitor General,
fiopgrt McMillan, tor his assistance
rendered us.
Likewise we thank our Baliff,
Gordon McAfee, for efficient ser¬
vices rendered u*.

Georgia, White County.
To the grand jury of said county
at the October term, 1916;
We the finance committee, select¬
ed by the grand jury at the April
term, 1916, of White superior court
beg leave to submit to your honor¬
able body this report :
We have examined the record*
kept by the county commissioners
and, with a few small exceptions,
find them correctly kept. These
little mistakes that we find amount
to nothing worthy of note. We
find that the board of county com¬
missioners had in their hands be¬
longing to the road fund of the
county on the first day of April,
1916, same being the date up to
which the records were examined
by the last finance committee, the
sum of $2,151.55. They have re¬
ceived from that date up to Oct¬
ober 3rd, 1916, the sum of $1,479.-
15, making a total of $4.*30.70.
Of this amount there has heed paid
out on proper vouchers the sum of
$1,348.34, leaving a balance in the
hands of the commissioners on the
3rd day of October, 1916, of $1,882-
3 6 *
We also find the treasurer’s re¬
cords ^o^cUy,kept, and that he
on the first day of April, ^yi6.
#ulU of $4^3.95, $4,033.9-, uud tU.u uc
has received from that date to this
date tlie sum of (from show tax)
$7.00 making a total of $1,050.95,
and that he has paid out on proper
vouchers $2,900.85, leaving a bal¬
ance at this date in his hands of
$1,150.10.
We find proper accounts record¬
ed for all orders drawn on the
county treasurer by the county com¬
missioners.
We find the Ordinary’s records
neatly and correctly kept.
Also the Clerk’s records are neat¬
ly arid correctly kept.
The Sheriff being out of town
we could not get access to his re¬
cords and have, therefore, not
examined the same.
Respectfully submitted ibis the

We were sorry to learn that on
last Thursday night the residence
at the Adair mills wherein resided
Mr. John Robertson, miller, was
totally destroyed by fire. The fire
eaught it is thought from sut burn¬
ing in the chimney. Fortunately
some boys were hunting not far
away and when they saw the fire
made haste to get there and assist¬
ed in saving nearly all the furniture
and other furnishings in the house.
Rev. Wills M. Jones preached

Easier To Stop Now.
It is easier to check a bronchial
cough now than later. Coughs
grow worse the longer they con¬
tinue. Foley’s Honey and Tar
stops tickling in throat, allays in¬
flammation and irritation, restores
sore and discharging membranes
to healthy condition, opens congest¬
ed air passages, and affords longed
for relief.
