The detachment of the 307th En
gineers who have been in camp near
town for some time, have finished
their work and left Tuesday for Camp
Gordon, where they will become in
structors in surveying.
The boys were a fine lot, thorough
gentlemen, and they made many
friends during their short stay here,
who regret to see them go. They
will be remembered pleasantly and
take with them the respect and es
teem of the best people of Marietta.
Before going, the following reso
lution, which speaks for itself, was
handed The Journal by Sergeant
Major Finch.
Whereas, the undersigned in recog
mnition of the generous hospitality and
kindness tendered us by the citizens
of Marietta, Ga., during our stay in
the vicinity, do hereby - resolve that
we extend our most hearty and cor
dial thanks. i
It has been a great privilm.
indeed a pleasure to have met and
become acquainted with such hos
pitable people, as we have found the
citizens of Marietta to be. Their ef
forts to make us feel at home have
certainly been crowned with success,
for the memories of the pleasant
times and friendships will be with us
long after we have left this land
which is so dear to us.
We have been deeply stirred by the
syuirit of patriotism shown by the peo
ple of Marietta and we can say in all
sincerity and truth that nowhere have
we seen or heard of a better example
of practical patriotism as has been
our privilege to experience here.

FROBABLE ROBBERY.
Somebody has evidently lost some
bedclothing. A negro on Mr. Tom
Brown’s place, near Gilmore, found
a roll of five quilts and an art square
in woods last Sunday. They had ap
parently been placed there some time
before, as they had been wet by rain.
The art square was somewhat
worn, but the quilts were nearly new
and in fairly good condition. Mr.
Brown has them and would like to
return them to the owner.

PRESENTMENTS OF
NOV. GRAND JURY
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
charged us, and we find that it is
made up of several type-written
pages, and including no less than 314
separate and distinct claims, growing
out of that many different cases,
the investigation of which by this
body, would be difficult and require
considerable time at our hands. .
And, we finding on investigation,
‘that the remedy provided by the Code
in case of this sort, is by Rule against
the Solicitor General, before the
Judge of the Superior Court.
We therefore recommend that the
County Commissioners request a Rule
against Solicitor Clay for the amounts
claimed against him as provided by
the Code. As we understand it, the
Court has authority, under a pro
ceeding of that sort to compel him to
pay the County Treasurer any money
that may be found in his hands due
the County, and that we have no
such authority, and that any finding
we might make would not be con
clusive on him nor helpful to the
County in finding the facts under the
Rule.
Through committee we have ex
amined the Jail and Courthouse. We
find the Jail in good sanitary con
dition, the prisoners well cared for
and humanely treated. The Jail is
in good repair with the exception of
some guttering, this should be at
tended to immediately as it has been
recommended by a former Grand
Jury and neglected.
The outside work of the Court
house is badly in need of repairing,
the paint having been worn down to
the bare wood, we strongly urge the
repainting of the outside wood-work,
both for the sake of preserving the
building as well as for looks.
Through committee we have exam
ined the dockets of the following Ex-
Off J. P.’s, Tom Jones, B, V. Greer,
M. A. McCoy, R. D. Bryant, C. A.
Hamilton, C. M. Dobbs, H. M. Hop
kins and S. F. McElreath, we find
all their books in good shape and
neatly and correctly kept.
We wish to thank his Honor, Judge
Morris for his fair and impartial
charge to this Jury, and for his con
sideration shown them, we take spe
cial notice of his remarks on the
war situation, and urge with him that
every citizen show loyalty and love
and do his utmost to aid our Presi
dent and our Government in prose
cuting the war to a successful end.
We wish to thank the Solicitor Gen
eral for his courtesies to this body,
also our foreman and bailiff, as each
has done his utmost to cater to our
convenience and assist us in our
work.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in our three
county papers at a cost not to exceed
the legal rate for one paper, the sum
paid for such publication being di
vided according to the circulation of
the various papers.
On account of the expense of pub
lication, we recommend that the stat
istical reports of the various county
officers be not published, as they
simply consist of facts that are a
matter of record, and as they are
filed with the Clerk of the Superior
Court as a part of these present
ments, and can be inspected by any
parties interested,
Respectfully submitted,
E. L. ROBERTSCN. Clerk.

all he could carry; hiding them, he
returned for the other seven to find
them gone, and later discovered that
someone had gotten the eight cans
also, making the incident a real
tragedy so far as he was concerned.
