We, your grand jury for the Feb

our final report, and ask to be dis
charged from further service.
We have been In session % days,
have examined 635 witnesses and
have returned 1T true bills, 20 fell
onies and SO misdemeanors.
We have had complaints from diff
! ferent parts of the county that par
ties were blowing into and obstruct-
| ing the roads, and have returned
bills where the evidence was suffi-
cient. We would suggest to the pub
lie that this is not only a violation
of the law, but very destructive of
our road system, and parties violat-
ing that law should be prosecuted.
We take pleasure in reporting
that we find but little violation of
law il the county, and that the Off
GERS are making an earnest effort
to enforce all laws.
We inspected the county jail and
found the same being kept in a rep
utable and sanitary manner.

acres in millet, and IA acres in a
splendid garden.
We found on said farm 10 mules,
| IL head of cattle and about 100
head of hogs and goats, all stock
being in good condition. We found
wagons, farming implements and
tools sufficient for running sale

manner in which he is handling sal

We found the new Jail now

processes placed in their hands.
We also thank the county attor-
ney and his assistants for the valu-
able assistance they have rendered
us in the performance of our duties

efforts they are making to enforce

sincere thanks for the many courte-
sizes and valuable advice that you
have given us during our delibera-
