We. the grand jurors chosen and sworn
at this May term (I9o4, of Lee Superior
court, in concluding our labors, beg leave
to submit the following general present
ments:

286.I5, for general purposes $6,S49.72 for

of II. q8, which we reccomend that the
Commissioners return to him. We con-
slider this showing very fine as Mr. King
has made full settlement for all taxes at
this term of court, something never
done before.
We find the entire levy for State pur-
poses, including professional, special and
all, to be $9,46r. 90, which has been paid
to State treasurer, and Mr.. King has re-
ceipts for same. and itemized statement
OF which is herewith submitted. We find

he has paid less his commissions, to D. D,

for some days past and closed deal
for Goe. D. Ross's herd of horses,
numbering 240 head. He also took
about thirty each from Jas. T.. Moran

is an exceptionally fine outfit of range
fed horses, probably the best in the

up for thirteen years and he finds
now that it pays to raise the best, He
has paid from $500 to $1,000 for stall
