mortgages on all he owns as we'll as

are exceptions to this generality
Some of the farmers make money,

they would only work properly and

advantages not enjoyed at many
other places. Good cotton Gao be
made without any fertilizers, and

There is not near the competition to

PENSION ARREARS

New York Times.
Abou, the only consolIog refec-
.ions suggested by the Pension Ar
resrs job are that i, is likely to have
q most beneficial effect on the lon-
gevity of a considerable portion Of
our people, and that it's vast p opor-
tions will operate "a powerful de-
terrent against any policy likely to
draw the United States into a foreign
war. Our great army cf pensioners
ought to be a standing reminder Of
the cost of in,erruptipg the peaceful

GRAND JURY PREsENTMENTs.
Cobb Superior Court 2nd Week March
Term 1882.


Term 1882.
We have through our committee made a
cursory examination of the books Of the Or
binary, Clerk Of Superior Court, County
Treasurer and Sheriff, and find that the
presentments the Jury of last week cor
rect and very full and exhaustive.
We would make q correction ia the pre-
sentiments in regard TO the county bonds.
The Jury of last week say that the bonded
debt only amounts two thousand dollars
when Il should have been four thousand
dollars---two thousand due this year and
two thousand next.
We fully indorae what the former Jury
say of the neat and efficient manner in
which our county officers keep their books,
and we are proud to find that our county is
80 near out of debt and think tina. in anoth-
er twelve months that it can so I've reported.
We would also report with pleasure that
we find that crime seems to be on the de-
crease in our county, except election frauds.
We have been unable to find evidence
enough to convict parties of illegal voting
or buying and selling and influencing votes.
We would recommend that His Honor
specially charge the Grand Jury on this
point at the next term of the court.
We would request and urge upon our
next Senator and Representatives to have a
general registrSion law passed compelling
all voters to register thirty days before the
election in State County and Municipal
elections We would call the attention of
the county commissioners to a complaint
made to us in regard to persons taking sand
from the public roads to the injury of the
roads and to have it prevented.
| We find from examination of the tax di-
! gest that great many parties give in theiI
property at low valuation, in some cases
not more than one half of its value, and
would call the attention Of the county com
missoners to this matter and if possibi,
have it corrected. 1t is injustice to the hon
est tax payer to have this 80. and greatly
increases the per cent of tax imposed. W.
would also recommend that parties he re
quired to give in their tax In the true nanlei
of the owner OF the property,a SO as to-. no
to mislead any person in the matter.
We tender our thanks to his Honor
Judge Brown and also to Solicitor Genera
Gober 80 a.
We request that these presentnients b
published in the MARIETTA JOURNAL. -
