The Grand Jury returned a true bill

failure to build a court house adequate
q to the needs of the county. The Judge
continued the case until the January
term of Court and told the Clerk tt
accept their wi recognizance il
n 500 each for their appearance al
. court in January to answer to the bill
of Indictment.
The Grand Jury adjourned Friday
Afternoon. The following is their re
Z port:
To HIS HONOR, WALTER NEAL, JUDGE
!. PRESIDING:
RI The Grand Jury for the State re
spectfully report =
That they have visited and inspected
the Offices of the Clerk and Register Of
Deeds, the County Jail and Convict
= Camp, all of which we find in good con
dition, and we have no suggestions tt
make in improvement of their man
agement.
We find that the County Home is not
altogether in as good condition as the
health and comfort-more particularly
}, in the colored wards-demand, and we
e call the attention of the County Com.
r missioners to the matter, as demanding
J, speedy action.
We respectfully urge that the County
n needs a new Court House, or the pres
ent building to be modernized and en-
larged, as it's capacity is not equal tx
n the demands made upon it at every
" session of the Court, and we sugges
= that a building suitable for all purposes
could be built with little Inconvenience,
to the people, by issuing bonds for
period of years.
