Grand Jury Prssentment.
To the Honorable William H. Wallace, =,
siding Judge:

| To the Honorable William H. Wallace, Pre-
siding Judge:
Tho Grand Jury begs leave to make the
following presentment:
We are glad to say that our duties have
been very lsh. a: this term os the Court, as
we have discharged all business that has
come before us.
lIeeding the suggestion o. your Honor, we
have appointed two committees from our
body, to examine the various county Offices,
and the financial condition Of the county,
and We ask tha, an order be given by which
the committees may fully discharge the du-
ties assigned them.
We beg to urge the County Commissioners
to have the roads and bridges Immediately
put in good condition, as July and August
are. in our opinion, the proper months to
work the roads, for great many complaints
have been made TO us about the condition of
the roads throughout the county.
In our last presentment we warned certain
individuals that if they did not cease living
IN adultery and fornication, they would be
Indicted We have been reliably Informed
that they have not needed our warning. The
witnesses in these cases have been handed
to US, and unless our warning is needed by
the next term Of court, indictments will be
brought against them.
The Grand Jury has been very cautious in
this matter, as a committee from the Grand
Jury ha1 waited upon some of these parties,
aud if harsh measures are adopted by the
Grand Jury, they ":!! have no oHo 10 blame
hut themselves.
Thanking your Honor for the courtesies
shown us during our deliberations, this re-
port is respectfully submitted.
l.. HAMEs, Foreman.

GIRLS, Heed This.

The poorest girls in the world ore those
who never bavo been taught to work. There
are thousands of them. Rich parents have
petted them they have been taught to des-
pise labor. and depend upon others fer n
living, and arc perfectly helpless. If mis-
fortune comes upon their friends, ms it often
does, their case is hopeless. The most for
lorn and miserable women on earth belong
to this class. 1t belongs to parents to pro.
tect their daughters from this deplorable
condition. They do them n great wrong if
they neglect it. Every girl should be taught
how to earn her own living. The rich, as
we'll as the poor, deserve this training. The
wheel of fortune rolls swiftly around-the
rich are very likely to become poor, and the
poor rich. Skill to labor is ne disadvantage
to,the rich, and it is indispensable to the poor.
Well-to-do parents must educate their daugh-
ters to work no reform is more imperative
than this.

Correspondence of the TINES.
Nawa from North Pacnlat.

Eta JANE, July 4.--TEe past week has
been a busy one with our farmers. The
long rainy season gave general green"
such q start that all hands and the cook too
were called out to check him. All the
troops Except some Of the hired ones)
fought nobly and this week will finish up
most of the pressing work, provided every
thing is favorable.
Some few cases Of sickness, but nothing
Of q serious nature, have been reported to
US.
We have three cotton blooms upon our
table now, which were sent In last week,
but not in time for us to report them in last
weeks paper. They were sent us by F. A.
Goforth, Wm. G. Fowler and John F. Estes,
respectively
The threshers arc at work putting out the
wheat Most of it is good that is, it is above
the average of former years. Some farmers
have realized as much rs Il bushels from
one sowed.
We had the pleasure of attending the
Survivors meeting at Union last Saturday
and meeting many Of the old "yets' who
had gathered to see and hear, as we'll as to
shake the hand of their brave old COM
mander, Gen'l NJ. C. Butler, who came to
aid them by his wise counsel and experience
in adopting the best method of gathering up
tho choice gems of history that have so long
lain dormant in the recollections of the
survivors of the "lost cause
1t was trnly gratifying &C sca the pleasure
it afforded the old veterans to meet their
former brave commander and hear them ex-
change eourtesies with each other.
Notwithstanding :lie day was one Of ua-
alleged pleasure to the majority of the old
soldiers, yet some bilious croakers professed
to see nothing in the proceedings but n deep
laid political scheme on the part Of some
body to disrupt everything that is good and
grand and glorious. Such aspersions as
these are proof of the fact that the jackass
always wants to kick at everything and
everybody that isn't like himself
The Survivors Association has about as
little TO do with politics as The conversion OF
Paut had to do with the assassination of
Cesar. But we know that "When ignorance
is bliss tis folly to be wise" Gen. Butler
is President OF The State Survivors Associa-
tion and came at the urgent request Of
the old soldiers, who will rcbukc such un-
just insinuation the first opportunity they
have to do So
Gen. Butler spoke favorably about the
excursion to Richmond and thought it quite
probable that satisfactory arrangements could
be made with The railroads to carry out the
wish of the Association. lie promised TO
do al in his power to aid the movement.
We are now in the midst Of hot summer
weather with the best of growing ssasons.
and the farmer seems to rejoice at the pros
perity before him. Considerable damage
has been done the lands ard crops by the
recent heavy rains.
On last Sunday Mr. james Griffin and
Miss Mary Gregory were married by J. l..
Strain, Notary Public. Vox.

Bows, Heed This.

Many people seem to forget that character
grows that it i, not something to be put on
ready made without womanhood or man
hood but day by day, "hcre little and
there little" grows with growth and
strengthens with strength" until good or
bad, it becomes almost a coat Of mail. Look
at man Of business-prompt, reliable and
conscrvative-yet clear-headed and ener-
getic' When do you suppose developed all
those admirable qualities? When he was
boy? Let us sec how a boy Of ten years
gels Up in the morning, works, plays. studies,
and we viii! tell you what kind of a man he
will make. The boy that is too late for
breakfast, late at school, stands poor chapc ce
to be prompt man. The boy who neglects
his duties, be they ever so small. and excuses
himself by saying 81 forgot" II didn't

the boy who finds pleasure in the suffering
of weaker !hings vii! never be noble, gen.
