PRESENTMENTS
■ Os the Grand Jury for Octo
ber Term of Whi t field Su-
perior Court-
The grand jurors, chosen and sworn
for the Getolx r term. 1892, of Whit
field county superior coihrt, xspcct
fully submit, the follow ing genet a! pre
sentments :
We have eiptminod ’he public btiild
ings of <he county and find tip’ court
house in goi d condition generally, but
recommend that the floors of the
clerk’s ami ordinary's idliees L<- cov
ered with mulling, and that each of
the offices be provided with brooms so
tint they can be kept clean and neat.
The sanitary condition of the jail is
not good, but when we take into con
sideration tlie crowd' d condition and
limited space of the jail, the onlv ade
quate remedy is to build a new jail,
which we recoinmem'.
We have examined the books of the
various coitmv officers ami are pleased
to state that I hey are all neatly ami
properly kept, >bowing that they are
earelul and intelligent oiiieers, and we
arc especially pleased with the neat
ami h-imlsnim'appearance of the books
of the clerk of the superior court. The
treasurer's books show a. balance on
hand of $925 51.
We have, by committee, examined
the county lumse ami find it. well
arranged ami in gooi) condition.
We have examined, to some extent,
tlrn workings of our public school sys
tem, under th.' present law. and take
especial pleasure in commending the
careful, intelligent and faithful work
of onr county school commissioner, M.
I’. Berry, and are proml of the showing
made by our county, as it. a ipenrs
that Whitfield county stands in the
front, rank of the counties of North
Georgia in the amount paid per schol
ar to teachers, ami in the high grade
of the teachers employed. We re-
I speetftilly ask our niembcrs • leei to
the icgislaiure to emleavor to have the
present, law amended so that the
school year st'iill cmnniencH Decem
ber Ist of each year, nslead of Janua
ry Ist. This chnuge would m ike it
possible to C'l’nmeiice the sessi -ns on
tiie first of li 'i'einher ami July, and
j by this means better utilize th ■ leisure
si'aso.i of the year: and we also ree
; ommcml that, it possible, teacliers ma?
be paid at the close of cacti ses i n.
We have examined the dockets of
• the justices of the peace and notaries
I public, and find them reasonably w<-ll
: ( kept, and are pleased to state that they
j were ail before us on the first day of
the term with but one exception.
We find that the roads <>f cm- coun
' ty are gradually improving under the
present law, and the improveim-itls
' an 1 of .i substantial and permanent
. character, mid the people seem to he
i generally pleased with the present law
' as compared with tlrn old avst.-m ; but
i improvement is still nee.led in a »me
, special c.ise.-; ami our atiei.ti m has
. bee ncaHeil to the follow ing mads, anil
; we recommend ih.it the Ro:i.d Com
missi.meis look after them: Ihe
road leuling from the Cleveland road
it<> i'a i ver’s bridge; the tipper Spring
, Place road from Dalton to Maddox's
1 Mill ; the mad known as the John
i Lynch road :(!>(• middle s-efion of the
Dalum ami river beml r al; and the
road known as the Gor !■ n’s Gap road
'The attention of the Commissioners is
also called to the conditio i of the
bridges and foot, ways ..cross ilm stpall
streams, as there is so i.e com,'lai..l in
a general way about them. We call
the at tention of the county (J (minis
sinners to the m ccss.i x for a good |
! bridge across Mill Creek above the (
Glaze farm, if a practicable route can
be found lor the mad to R suitable |
place for the bridge.
We have examined into tin'mililary
record of Mr V> in. McNabb, mention
of which "as made l>v a iormer <jram| ,
Jury, and find that he was a gallnut |
i soldier in the Southern army ami

Raid on the Preacher
Thursday evening about. 7: ”
o'clock there was a Imid kno< k at i
door of the Cumberland Presbyter:
parsonage. The parson was in h
study preparing a sermon. He
swered the “knock” in person, win
In! a large numtier of his pari-hom
stood in the porch and yard arotim
with bundles of goods of vari >i
sorts, the parson turned “death!,
pale” and ‘ surrendered.” Ho felt him
self powerless to withstand the a
, tack. The attacking party tip
. stacked their arms in the (litii .
room—the quarter master’s depai
ment, and had a general ‘Temlesvou
over the conquest they had made.
And. strange to tell, the parson m.
! his family felt perfectly submissive .
their state of captivity, and were sol
when their captors took their depai
. ure. Such “visitations” at the “|b/i
; sonage” always endear the peopkT l*
the pastor and vice versa. .
f The parson declares today after suj
l veying the battlefield that he is reu;/
for another •‘eng.igtinent.”
