wore an elegant travelling costume of
golden brown Zibeline trimmed in
brocade, with hat to match. She car
ried an armful of yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS. The privileged few who wit
messed the wedding were heard to ex-
claim with regret that SO lovely a
bride should not have worn the real
bridelike gown OF white satin and veil
which better suited her charms.

Report of Grand Jury.


To the Honorable, the Judges OF the
Circuit Court for Carroll County
We, the Grand Jurors for the No
vember term, respectfully report
to your Honorable Court:
That we have to the best of our
ability, during the days which we have
been in session, investigated all mat
ters brought before us, (which we deem
ed within our province and duty.
We are pleased to say that there
have been few violations of the law
of serious nature brought to our
attention.
We have, during our session, inves-
tigated seventy-five cases, found fifty
five true bills and examined one hun
dred and tWenty-three witnesses
There are now confined i'm Jail at
Baltimore Clarence Cole, Harry Grouse,
Harry @. Mercer, James Bigham, Will
lam Price, William Duvall, Arthur
McGaw; and James w. Dorsey, i'm Jail
at Westminster, whose cases have been
fully investigated by us and an indict-
ment found in each case.
We have examined the license rec
ord and found that the traders of Car
roll county have complied with the
law by securing their license for nine
teen hundred and twelve.
AS required by law, we visited the
Jail of the county and found it under
going extensive repairs, which when
completed will doubtless meet every
need.
We would recommend that a work
shop be erected in order to give the
prisoners employment and in a meas
ure help to meet the expenses of the
institution.
We also inspected the County House
and we found it in cleanly and sani-
tary condition and the inmates well
cared for. We cannot too highly
commend the County Commissioners
for the modern improvements made
during the past year especially the
lighting plant. We would however
respectfully recommend that storm
door be erected at the door leading to
the inmates dining room.
The entertainment received by the
jurors at both the Jail and the county
home, was greatly enjoyed and appre-
ciated.
We now respectfully ask that we be
discharged, subject to the further call
of your Honorable Court
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM M. CHIPLEY,
