cared for, with the exception of

find that there is some good land

GRAND JURY REPORT.

To the Hon. Rufus D. Hearn, Judge
of the 9Th Circuit.
We, your Grand Jury, empannell-
ed for this term of your Honors
Court, beg leave to submit this our
final report and ask that it be ac,
cepted and that we be discharged.
We have summoned and examin-
ed 80 witnesses and found 58 bills Of
indictments. We have indicted all
persons against whom we thought
convictions could be had. We have
investigated all violations of law
brought to our notice, and of which
we have received information.
We find from the report of the
Road Overseers that the roads are
in a reasonable good condition, but
that the bridges are bad in District
Nos, 2, II, 80 and 48, We also, find
that the number OF the Districts on
some of the overseers' reports does
not compare with the record num-
bers. We also lind that District
Nos. 4, II, IA, 10, 23, 25, 80, 81, AZ
and 81 are without Overseers some
having died, some having moved
away and some reported over age.
We would recommend that the
County Judge Immediately supply
these vacancies,
We have examined the books
of the officers, and the Commission
ers report, and we find that the
officers accounts are correct and
the books neatly kept,
We have examined the Jail, and
we find it in very bad condition, and
unsafe and wholly unfit for use, but
we find it well kept under the CIR
cumstances, and we would recon-
mend the building of a new Jail,
using as much of the material in
the old Court house and Jail as pos
sible.
We would further recommend
that the County Court use every
effort to make a contract with some
one for keeping and working the
County prisoners, which we find is a
very heavy expense against the
county,
We find further that the Justice
of the Peace for Homan and Red
River township have committed
prisoners to jail to await the action
Of the Grand Jury without, appar-
antly to us, any testimony as
shown by their transcripts and by
witnesses required by them to APP
pear before us, This is a heavy and
unnecessary expense to the county
as well as an injustice TO the pris-
oners,
We have examined the Poor Farm
and found seven inmates there,

WEDDINGS OF THE WEEK.

There has been noticeable falling off
in weddings in the last two weeks, and
the indications are that there will be
few of these happy events to chronicle
in the weeks to come
Wednesday continues to be the favorite
day, showing that the majority Of brides
hold to the old rhyme.
Several Interesting weddings occurred on
Wednesday, the handsomest being that of
Miss Maud Tracy and Mr. John Parsons
Wade, at st. Andrews Church at O'Clock.
This was military wedding Of much
distinction, the groom.r best man, and
eight ushers all being officers of the
United States Army, and wearing full
dress uniform.
The eight attendants Of the bride wore
exceedingly modish gowns in white, OF
Candle, over white or, yellow silk, with
sashes of satin ribbon to match,
four being in yellow and four in white.
Each bridesmaid wore a floral boa
made of yellow and white carnations, and
the maid OF honor, the young sister, of
the bride, carried bouquet of lilies of
the valley and yellow orchids
a large and fashionable assembly wit
messed the ceremony, and were seated
by the following ushers: Capt. Michler,.
