GRAND JURY'S REPORT.
The Grand Jury handed in its
report Thursday morning in which
was embodied the following: "We
have examined the public buildings
and find the court house in good
condition; but suggest that the
yard in rear of the court house be |
enclosed by a suitable fence to ex-
clude the public; also that a new
typewriter be secured for the Sher-
ifs office.
I'm regard to the jsil we say
that new screens be furnished for
the doors and windows and that
the phone bell be placed in the
kitchen as it cannot be heard where
1t is now. We recommend that
the Jail yard be cleaned.
Respectfully submitted,
{. +. SAVAGE, Foreman"
