GRAND JURY REPORT.

We have had 50 many good
citizens to certify their approval
of our article last week relative
to the grand jury report and the
indictments against the super
visors that We shall give the pub
lie further insight into the MAJ
ter.
First, very few recognise the
fact that the supervisors cannot
inspect the roads in person or in
body unless they give this their
entire time; the law does not re-
quire this Of them nor does it
allow them any pay for such
work except about 5000 per
year. Knowing the amount OF
rains We have and the fact We
have zoo miles Of road, how
many times Will inspection be
necessary to keep informed as
as to conditions: You are bound
to answer just as many times as
a big rain comes. Now, dividing
this board Of five into commit
tees how many days Of the year
will it take to inspect and keep
fully informed as u the c0adi-
tons Of all these roads? Yea see
at 4 glance what that means /:
You see that ~ officer upon
whom the law does not place the
duty will spend all his time
at this. Not a man in the county
ever did it nor will there ever be
one that will.
Second, this report urges the
working Of the coaYicts etc. and
criticises the board f0rnot 50 do
ing, This report did not say that
there was only one or two pris-
oners in Jail that could be worked
TIE others being Federal pris.
oners, or prisoners not amena5le
! to work for the county, nor did
they tell you tina. there never
had been more than three or four
prisoners that could be worked
at any time in the past year.
They did not tell you that it
would cost five times as much To
work these few convicts as ii
would take for the county to feed
them with little or no hope for
these men making anything for
the county. 1t is expensive to
guard and work prisoners and
unless you have sufficient num-
Der as a business proposition it is
simply folly.
These facts show that the
grand jury must have been mis-
informed from some source
Whst is the good sense of spend
ing $500 per day each for one,
two or three men to work the
same number of negroes some
distance out from town when you
can keep him in Jail for one
fifth this expense, just to
say that you are working the
convicts. Staying in Jail is great
er punishment than working any
man hence it is simply ques.
ton of dollars and cents.
Let the law be enforced tur
let's not forget that no one mar
nor set of men can right all the
evils that beset a county. Every
citizen should fully inform him.

: ton before condemning any per.

Persons bus was the means of transportation on the West Side In those days, but was forced out of bus mess when the horse car line was Plenty there are who remember that line, where the passenger walked up to the front of the bus, laid down his nickel and attracted the drivers at tention by ringing a bell. There were no white poles then, the passenger alighting where he wished.
 There will be about 25 at the fam fly dinner, including a number from out of town, while it is expected that many out of town guests will also be present at the reception. Both MT. and Mrs. Pierson are enjoying excellent health, and have taken a keen interest in the preparations for the anniver- sary celebration.

The funeral of Mrs Cabez S. La throp was held from her home, on Washington street, at 2.30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. The service was conducted by Rev G. H. Ewing, pas tor of the First Congregational church, of which Mrs. Lathrop was for so many years member. After ading selections of scripture the pastor said: The presence of so many friends is a testimonial to the character and high standing of this servant of God, who has passed on to the gIories of the heavenly life. We give thanks to God that she lived so many years. The unseen and invisible become more real to the children of God who live longer. It is good to think of the reunion with those who have gone before. When the translation comes to us, we shall go to the presence of God to be with the spirits of the just made perfect. Prayer closed the service
 Among the many choice floral trib- utes were clusters of roses, chrysan- themums, carnations and callas. gall axia leaves and beautiful large wreath of orchids and lilies of the val ley.

He built up a large business in dealing in western horses which he brought here by the carload, and at first it was necessary to break them before selling In doing this he had many experiences, and in saving that it would be impossible to tell how many times he had been run away with some idea of the excitement of the business can be gathered In all these experiences he escaped without serious in jury and on some of the runaWays Mrs. Pierson happened to be with him, but neither was hurt.
