Report of Grand Jury

10 the honorable Criminal court
OF Saline county, Missouri.
we, the grand jury of Saline
county, for the March term of the
criminal court, 1899, beg leave to
make the following report:
we have examined the County
Jail and find same to be in a verv
uns2nitary condition, badly ven
tilated, badly lighted, and absolute
" and entirely unsuitable for
place to keep human beings even
though they are charged or con-
Victed of a criminal offense. The
sheriff keeps the Jail in as good
condition as is possible for any
one to do with the material placed
at his disposal. We understand
that several criminals have es-
capped with comparative ease and
see no reason why the same
could not be done, at any time un-
] less guarded almost every hour
by an officer. We recommend
that the county court take imme-
diate steps to bet :er this condi ion
either by satisfactory remodeling
the old Jail or building a new one.
We have visited the Poor Farm
and find that the statements
made by the former grand jur e il
regard to the building have no:
been overdrawn because it is i'm
possible for the miserable condi-
tion of said building to be stated
too strongly. We feel that on ac-
count of the dilapidated and un-
safe condition of these buildings,
new ones should be provided as
soon as possible and we hereby
commend the county court 70:
calling an election to vote on the
question of issuing bonds for the
purpose of building a suitable
Poor House and we urge eve"y
citizen of Saline county to give his
assistance to the construction of a
necessary building for the poor
and unfortunate of this county.
Mr.. Wilson, the superintendent,
manages the farm and inmates as
we'll as could be done under the
circumstances. We urge it as a
duty upon every citizen of this
county to investigate for himself
to see if our statements are true
and if you will take the trouble to
go to the poor farm you will GER
tainly be convinced that we are
correct.
Respectfully submitted,
F. M. YEAGLE, Forman.

look after-his Land he will gladly
take along anyone interested. He
will at once put in 40 acres OF al
falfa, which does we'll there. Wheat
also produces better than here.

L. E. Benedick Wednesday sold
the fair grounds of "a acres west

per acre. Mr.. Crockett moved to
Oregon last fall but doesn't like

of the fair grounds. The grand
stand and other fair buildings will

DEATHS

MRS. G. B. GOODWIN died at
: 30 Friday morning March 18th at
Roswell New Mexico, after ling
ering illness of consumption.
Mrs. Goodwin went to New Mex
leo several months ago with the
hope of bettering her health, which
had been failing for some time' put
the change Of climate seemed TO
do her little good and she sank
steadily until the end. About two
weeks ago her condition was SO
alarming that Mr.. Goodwin hasten
cd TO her side and remained with
her till her death.
Mrs. Goodwin was born in Lex
ington Aug. 80 1875. Her maiden
name was Miss Eugenia Davis and
she was the youngest daughter OF
Col. and Mrs. Tilton Davis. No
Young lady in Lexington was ever
more deservingly popular than
Miss Davis.
On June IA, 1900, she was married
at the home of her parents TO CIl-
ford b. Goodwin, the sorrowing
husband.
The union was blessed with a
daughter, Marjorie, now six years
odl who will now be solace and
comfort to her father in his sad
bereavment. The family enjoyed
an ideal life of domestic content
ment until Mrs. Goodwin's health
began to fail. For some time her
death has seemed inevitable and
this cast gloom over the house
hold.
The death of Mrs. Goodwin will
be widely mourned outside of her
immediate family; for both here
and nLexington she had a large
circle of friends.

once and relieve of any burdensome interest or un
necessary borrowing We are giving the biggest
