wholesome as 10 lno
condition of the court house, is as fol-
lows:
COURT HOUSE
A thorough inspection of the
Court House was made, and we find
the court room conf ,rtable and kept
in good condition, but we would adj
wise some changes on the lower
floor.
LIST. That the room now used as
the grand jury room, be nicely and
comfortably fitted up for the grand
jury.
End. That the room 10 used by
the Board of Education, and the one
adjoining it, be fitted up for the use
of witnesses who have to appear be-
fore the grand jury.
3rd. That the room known as the
Registers Office, be nicely and COM
fortably fitted up, for the use of the
Board of Education.
4th. That the room between the
grand jury room, and the Registers
office, be fitted up for the use of
petit juries, it often being the case
that they have to retire for delibera-
dion, and without a comfortable
place to go.
5th. That the room now used by
the Sheriff and Tax Collector, be
fitted up tor their use.
We would recommend that these
rooms be fitted up as suggested, and
that they be used exclusively for the
purpose S suggested above. We are
not disposed to have the county in
cur any unnecessary expense, but
we feel that those who serve the
county should be made comfortable
while SO doing. We believe it will
have a tendency to make people
more willing to serve as jurors, if a
them in the discharge ofthat duty.
JAIL.
A visit to the county Jail reveals
the fact chat every care and precau-
ton has been taken to make the in
mates comfortable. They IRE well
fed on good substantial food, and
they report good treatment from the
Sheriff and his assistants. The county
is to be congratulated on its well APP

COUNTY HOME.
It should be a source of pride t
any community to have in its mid;
an institution at which the poor, d.
crepit, aged and infirm are properl
cared for, and in order to ascertai
the condition of the County Home,
committee from the Grand Jury col
sisting of Messrs. D. o. Farrior, v
J. Howell, w. E. Garris and j.
Howell were appointed to visit
and>report to the Grand jury. The
