as law-abiding people.

our entire satisfaction that the present
keeper has fulfilled his duties in regard to
the comfort and health of the inmates
1t was in q very clean and well ventilated
condition. and the inmates seem to be
happy and contented as far as their condi-
ton would allow. After we examined the
different departments where the inmates
were kept, we retired to the granary, and
there we found good supply of corn,
wheat and oats. more than enough to sup.
ply the wants of the institution. If we
should tell all we SAW that would be of
use to the institution, it would make our
report so lengthy that it might tire your
patience. All we can say, we most heart
lily recommend our present keeper and his
companion to the community as faithful,
trustworthy gentleman and lady, who have
the full confidence of this present Grand
Jury, hoping that if we ever should be SO
fortunate as to visit him again we should
find him still striving TO do his duty.
In visiting the JAIL we. can say we were
very much surprised to find such miser-
able place to keep our convicts. 1t is a
disgrace to our county, and we hope that
the time is not far distant when we will
have a building that will be an ornament
instead of disgrace to our county. 1t
appears, however, to be kept as clearly
and managed by the present Sheriff as
well and as humanely as circumstances
will admit. JOHN B. ROE,
Nov. Gath. Foreman
