cd us BY the Solicitor. Committees Mere
appointed to examine the Public Ofiees,
Public Buildings and the Poor House prem
ises, and the committees SO appointed beg
leate TO reports.
TnE JAIL.
We have Inspected the Jail and 6nd every.
taing Ia proper shape, ,snd the inmates well
cared for. with the exception Of heat, and
would ask the COMMISSIONERS to furnish
without deay the necessary fuel wo
would fu'ther recommend that a new Outer
Door be provided, aod same be made of iron
and TO have n spring lock.
THE PUBLIC WELL.
We find the Pump broken and would
recommend tbot same be taken out and tho
old style tf windlass and bucket, be sub
stituted and lie covered with proper sh.l
ter.
CoUar HOUSE.
v We '.s ind satsc. ip the gutter on the
we ask ihdcDE missioners> to have repaired
Mt once, as Is already causing damage to
the buildiSs and especially 10 the Probate
Judges ONCE.
The limited time sllotted to us for the ex-
animation Of the Pubic Records makes Us
unable to report ns fully rs we might do,
but so far ss We can judge, we fud tho Offices
Of the Master, the Clerk Of the Court, the
Probate Judge. the Sheriff. the County
Treasurer and the County Commissioners in
good order sndtho Records woll kept.
On account Of tide absence OF the School
Commissioner We failed TO examine his
office.
Fer the convenience Of the County Audi
ter We would recommend that a proper Desk
be furnished his Office, and that the FIRE.
place in his Office be providcl with Crate
for the burning Of Coal. A very large
amount offsrurns have accumu 'ated in this
Office and We would recommend that tho
Oldest Of lheso returns be destroyed, or o
place provided to have them fled away.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
We find the Indebtedness of tho County
for the fiscal year ending Oct. 81, 1890, to
be for past Indebtedness and ordinary county,
about five thousand dollars. This debt hos
Increased to-thc present time TO about seven
thousand dollars. This is better shown
we nre glad to say, than we anticipated,
from outside reports, and will assure a pay
ment Of all, or near all the indebtedoess Of
the County by the next collection Of Taxes,
provided an economical course is pursued
by the present Board of County Commission
ers, Of Th&h we have been assured.
On ouso proposes We ind the

and *s ak that the Solicitor take the
necessary Ups that these officers be mere

SF<lCOSCEALED WEAPONS.
The ptActice of carrying concealed
weapons, We regret 10 report, appears on the
increase. This especially appears at public
night gatherings, such as Church Festivals
and Night Suppers, aud should be sup
pressed by the communities where these
gatherings take place. There is law in
force, If only enforced, and we propose to
do our duty as far as lays in our power I'd =
suppress this evil.
PUBLIC ROADS.
The roads of the County from all direc-
tons are reportcl in bad condition, and in
some place, almost impossible, bu, judging
from the tenor Of the wording of the adver-
tisement by the County Commissioners to
Of these officers we feel onltd snt rssIIntatlon
will do their utmost to have tho roads put
in better condition as soon as the weather
moderates.
Thanking your Honor for the kindness
and courtesy shown us during our short in
| tercourse.
Respectfully submitted,
