Old JuDsNEsTs.-It is the opinion OF a le-

mortgages will be wiped off the books as
soon az the act Of the last Legislature i'm
posing tax upon them becomes operative.
Judgments cost nothing except % reissue
them, ard many of them are kept on the
books year after year. in the hope that the
person against whom they are entered will
some day be worth something. Their prin-
cipal will then come in. Few people,
however, Will pay an annual tax on a judg-
ment or doubtful mortgage and take the
chance that it will some day become vaiua-
bic. On this account many of the veteran
judgments viii be swept off the books.

have gone through the County Jail and
have made a careful examination of the
same. and after due consideration have
come 10 the conclusion that TO make repairs
to said building would be spending money
uselessly. We would therefore recommend
the building of a new Jail, and that the old
building be sold. with a certain amount of
ground. and apply the proceeds thereof to
the new building. We further recommend
the building OF the new Jail on the North
corner Of the Court House grounds.
The above Is the finding of the Grand
Jury at the May Term of Court. 1t now re-
mains for the Grand Inquest that will as
sepble next week to say whether they con-
cur in the wise recommendations of their
predecessors or whether the old jail shall re-
main in its present condition to the disgrace
and shame of the citizens of the county and
the cause of humanity.
