The City Of lspahan.

No city has a happier name than
Ispahan-the rendezvous" When
visited by the traveller Chardin in
the early part of the eighteenth
century it contained 173 mosques,
4S colleges, 1900 caravansaries and
273 public baths. But the Afghans,
the local vandals, who did not care
for bathing, destroyed the aque-
ducts and slaughtered the bathers.
In the matter of great public
squares Ispahan can easily outrival
any European city. The Meydan,
or great square, is a third OF mile
in length and about half that in
breadth. 1t was once encircled by a
canal, bordered by fine plane trees,
but these have long since vanished
along with the canal.

Monster Nests.

In Australia are to be found the
largest. heaviest and most peculiar
nests in the world. These are the
nests OF the jungle fowl, so called,
and are built in the form of great
mounds, the average measurement
in height being fifteen feet and the
circumference $50 feet. The nests
are erected in seci'ded, sheltered
spots, and, as in tt case of the
small nests of birds, t. ey are skill
fully interviewer with leaves, grass
and twigs and such other suitable
material as the fowl may be able to
procure. A similar system in the
construction of nests is followed by
the bush turkey, whose home is,
however, more comprehensive in de-
sign. Its shape is pyramidal. 1t
has been asserted by Australian nat
uralists that the nests of the bush
turkeys, which live in colonies, are
so large that to move them requires
the services of six or seven men,

To His Honor, L S Sease, Presiding
Judge.
We, the grand jury of the county
and State aforesaig, beg leave to
make this, our final presentment.
We have examined all bills handed
US and have returned the same to
this court together with our findings
thereon.
The county offices have been ex-
amined by US and found in excellent
condition.
The committee of the grand jury
appointed to examine into the condl-
tion of the county chaingang reports
to this body that they have made a
thorough investigation of the prison.
ers, stock, cab and everything in con-
nection with the chaingang, and find
it all to be IN good condition.
Pursuant to a request of the grand
jury at the last sitting of this court,
the superintendent of education
makes the following report as to the
public schools of the county: ''The
total receipts for all the schools for
the year ending July 80, 1909, were
SAG, ,91S.4 including u balance from
the previous year of sS,l54.1S. The
total receipts for that year for the
whites were S37,95O.29, of which
$50, 43 was paid to teachers and
$7,2S3.S6 was paid for buildings, etc.
The total expenditures for the ne
groes for the same year were 81 1880
paid to teachers and S2lS.52 paid for
buildings, etc. Ihe total Whte en-
rollment last year was 1886 against
1857 the previous year. The total
negro enrolment was 1884 against

length of the school term for whites
was six months; for negroes, three
and one.half months. Ten Years ago
the total value of all the school prop
erty was very little over $4,000 and
at present | estimate the value at
$S5, ,OOo."
We thank your honor for your
able charge of the law and instruc-
ton as to our duties and the Solicitor
for his liberal aid.
