Just to let them know that we

said Henry Martin, Winwood, a
grand juror to a reporter for THE
CITIZEN, "the boys got together
and Clipped in money to give the
prisoners a general Christmas. L.
Van Deusen, Dyberry, and l were ap-
pointed committee to buy the
things. Sheriff Braman and | gave
them the things.
Tears came to their eyes when
we presented the things to them. 1t
will certainly throw a different light
on them. 1t naturally would cheer
any one up. We got oranges,
grapes, nuts, candy, handkerchiefs
and cigars. We gave them a gener-
al Christmas. We gave nice box
of candy and nice handkerchief to
Leona."
Report OF Grand Jury.
To the Honorable Alonzo T. Searle,
Judge of the Court of Quarter
Sessions of the county of Wayne:
The Grand Inquest of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania inquiring
for the county of Wayne, respectful
ly represents, that we have examined
the county buildings and as far as
we can ascertain find them in very
fair condition. Yet we think a very
great improvement would be made
if the County Commissioners would
provide some sort of rubber mat
ting and place it down the aisles of
the court room to deaden the sound
as people walk in and out while
court is in session.
We commend the County Commits
sioners for introducing some differ
ent mode of lighting the court room
and sincerely hope they will con-
tinue in their efforts until they sue
ceed in securing a satisfactory sys-
tenn of lighting the same.
We would suggest that some way
by electric wire or some other device
by which the inmates of the Jail
could call the attention of the Sher-
iff or some of his househ old should
anything happen like sickness. dur
ing the night so they could receive
proper attention, be installed.
We have heard rumors of the i'm
proper use of money to control nomi-
nations for election to office, but not
sufficiently satisfactory evidence to
recommend prosecution.
We would also recommend that
the County Commissioners install in
the Court Room some system of yen-
tilation to protect the health of
those who are called upon to spend
so many days in so poorly ventilat-
H., N1NN hD
lieve there are systems that could
be installed and not SO very eXpen-
sive that would give very good sat
isfaction. With these recommends
tions and suggestions we most re-
spectfully submit to your Honor.
