Part of the will is of general public
interest and refers to the new Metho-
dist church of which church he was
member. He leaves two hundred
dollars toward building the church,
one half of this is to be applied in the
name Of his late wife and one half in

As soon as the church has compet-

of worship it is directed that the ex-
ecutors invest the sum set apart and
devote the proceeds to that purpose
whenever the church authorities have
finished the work of erecting new
building.
This is the first gift of the kind
that has been received by the church.
The excellent example should be fol-
lowed by Others who may be interest
ed IN the organization.

AFTER THEM.
Taylor County Grand Jury
Roasts The County Court.

Filthy and Property Being Ruined

Save Money.

Save Money.
Taylor county is having sensation.
The grand jury which has been in
session there adopted the following
report as it adjourned:
FThe grand jury now in session can
not fail to take notice of the present
condition Of the court house. We
find that the Jail, which is under the
court house, is in such condition that
it is nothing unusual for prisoners to
escape. The jury rooms have no CON
veniences for the accommodation of
the jurors. The walls are in bad con-
dition owing to leaks in the roof and
general lack of attention The heat
ing apparatus, which cost the county
over four thousand dollnrs, is in such
condition that stoves have been sub
stituted to heat the building, and the
entire building is in very filthy con-
dillon. The county has property to
the value Of thirty or forty thousand
dollars, and we understand the eoun-
ty court has discharged the janitor
and this valuable property is left with
out supervision. We consider this "a
injustice and short sighted policy to
the taxpayers, and we recommend
that the county court employ a jani-
tor and have the entire building put
in a proper condition, and kept that
way. We also find that the jail and
water closets are In very unsanitary
condition and menace TO the health
of the community. This report is
adopted by the grand jury.
(Signed. stR. G. GATHER,
Foreman
The report has caused tremendous
sensation in Grafton and the rest of
the county. 1t is claimed that the
whole matter is due to the domination
OF President Armstrong of the county
court. He has been deposed by one of
the other membersyoting for himself as
president and at the same time re-
ceiying the vote OF the third member.
The Taylor county people ought to
come to this place II they want to see
a court house kept right. The court
house and Jail in this county are kept
as neatly as they are in any county in
the state. 1t is a matter OF pride TO
US that we have no trouble of the kind
that the TAYLOR county people are hav-
ing now.
