We. the Grand Jurors OF the State Of

counsy, sitting during the March Term.
1853. beg TO submit the following report:
We have carefully examined all the
matters that have been brought TO our
knowledge, and have made present.
meats Whenever we believed there was
. reasonable probability that an indict-
meat could be sustained In final trial
before your Honorable Court.
We have examined the accounts Of
the County Commissioners, and the rs-
suit OF our investigation Is q cenfrma-
tiSn of the report Of the Grand Jury Of
the September Term 1898. as to their
correctness. &c.
The county jail Is neatly kept and ID
In fair condition. Some slight repairs
are needed to th. fiue in one of the cells,
from which some OF the bricks have
fallen.
Much plastering has fallen from the
ceiling In the hall. and some OF the
rooms on the upper fioor of the Court
House We think IL would be much
more durable, and add strength 20 the
building. to substitute plank ceiling like
that in the Grand jury room. rather than
replace the plastoring. The outside ef
the Court House presents q very dingy
and rus.y appearance, and would be
greatly improved by coat Of paint.
The change. by Act offhe Legislature,
In the manner Of administering osths,
we think, detracts from the soleranity
aud impressiveness of the oath, and
tends To lessen respect for the solemn
and important obligation which IL inn
poses. We earnestly recommend tina,
our representatives In the next Legis.
ture eudeavor to have the present law
repealed, aud TO re-enact the law re-
quiring the placing Of the hand upon
the Bible when taking an oath.
The condition of the Public Roads IL
worthy Of most serious consideration.
After winter of unusual severity, we
may reasonably expect our roads to be
In bad condition. But never before, We
believe, have they been as bad as they
are at present. The large amount of
money annually expended on them,
should surely give Us some permanent
improvement. But we find It often the
case, that the new work of summer, be-
comes the worst road of winter. Road
mending requires some expert know
ledge, and aisedys, good Judgment The
appointment of incompetent Supervis-
ors, we believe, is one great evil OF our
road system. We think it far better TO
mend thoroughly each year few mile
of road, by proper irainage and q heavy
coating of gravel or sand. than to cover
many miles with useless patchwork,
which has to be annually renewed.
We extend our thanks to the Court.
the States Attorney. and the Court Of
ficers for valuable counsel. and for many
courtesies, and respectfully ask to be
discharged.
