County Commissioners are not allowed to levy

We find that Thomas johnson. lunatic, Is
properly cared for by Mira. A. #. Miller, who has
him In charge. We recommend that Martha A.

pointed as said committee
The careless handling of firearms Is the cause
OF many accidents which could be prevented by
the passage of a law imposing a severe penalty
on any person who points fireafm, whether
loaded or empty, at another, and we therefore
recommend that our representatives in the State
Legislature procure the enactment of law
which will stop the practice of playing with fire.

ers TO have the Road Law rigfdly enforced, and
10 provide suitable bridges wherever needed in
the County.

the Clerks Office, and find that they are properly
and correctly kept.

to censure the action of w. 7. Cogswell, JUS
tice of the Peace, in sending up for our consider

County, several minor cases which should have
been disposed of in his Court, and we recon-
mend In the interest of the people Of this County,

Judge Walker, for his able and lucid charge at
The commencement Of our duties, and to Hon.
John A. Henderson, States Attorney, for his
valuable advice and assistance.
