GRAND JURY ADJOURNED
Returned Nineteen Indictments, Elev-
en- FeIonies-Reported Court
House In DiIapidated
Condition.

The State of Texas, County Of Brazos.
In the District Court Of Brazos
County, March Term, A. d. 1912.
To the Honorable J. c. Scott, Judge
of said Court:
We, the grand jury duly organized,
sworn and charged at the March term,
A. D. 1912, of the district court of
Brazos county, Texas, to inquire into
and true presentment make of all vio-
lations and infractions Of the penal
laws of this state occurring within this
county, having completed our labors
beg leave to make our final report, as
follows, to w.t.
1. We have been in session eleven
days. Have diligently and carefully in
vestigated all attractions and alleged
attractions and violations of the penal
laws occurring in this county. Have
examined many witnesses and have
returned into court nineteen true bills
of indictment, of which eleven were of
the grade of felony and eight were
for msdemeanors.
2. We have thoroughly inspected
the jail and find the same in good
sanitary condition and the inmates
thereof receiving proper care and
treatment, for all of which the sheriff
is to be commended
3. We beg to call attention of the
commissioners court to the unsightly
and dilapidated condition of the coun-
ty court house. We find that in nearly
all of the offices upstairs the plaster
ing has broken and in many places
fallen from the ceiling and roof, and
that the bats and other varmints have
undisputed control. We believe that
some provision ought to be made for
the accommodation of jurors who
serve in criminal cases and are COM
PEELED to remain together at night;
that a decent place should be provided
for them to sleep. We respectfully
suggest that, in our opinion, every pa
triotic citizen in the county will heart
lily endorse the expenditure of suffi-
cient money to put the court house
in good and sanitary condition.
4. We desire to thank the sheriff,
district attorney and county attorney,
as we'll as all bailiffs and the door
keeper, for the efficient services they
have rendered us during our delibera-
tions.
Our labors having come to an end
we respectfully submit this as our
final report and beg to be now finally
discharged.
Respectfully submitted.

SUBMARINES SCARE FISH.
Latter Scurry Away From the Places
These Boats Frequent.

You have probably heard a good deal
about the wonderful submarine boats
that they use in the navy. which are
capable of going below the surface of
the sea and making long trips under
water.
One curious result of their use.
which was never dreamed of by their
inventors. is that they seem to spoil
the fishing off the coast where they
are much used. and the poor fishermen
complain that they cannot make a liv-
ing any more. The fish are afraid Of
these monsters and leave that part Of
the coast for some safer place. instinct
and experience having taught them
that fish of the size OF q submarine
have an immense appetite and that
the only safety for the smaller fish is

Last time it was the rumor that a
trolley line was to be built, and you
wanted to cut your farm up into build

"Ill take you,' agreed Sidney as he
drew out his check book.
Jordan stared incredulously. 1t
seemed too good to be true. Though
he was a rich man, Jordan was terri
bly, pressed for ready cash with which
to swing certain deals, and this $4,000
would solve several financial problems.

Love-.

Lovers consider all that they have
felt before only as preparation for
their present bliss. only as the foun-
dation on which the structure OF their
future life is to be reared. Past at
tachments seem like specters of the
night which glide away before the
break of day.
Love does not rule. but controls, and that
is better.
Hatred is a partisan. but love is even
more so.
Not in our seasons Of Joy did we choose
one another.
Rather the saddest OF hours 1t was that
bound us together.
How delicious Il sensation Is the
hope of seeing again those we love.
And we. when our coddled heart is a
little sorrowful, at once bring it med
icine and say: Dear little heart. be
quiet. You will not long be away from
her you love. Be quiet. dear little
heart" Meanwhile we give it a Chi
mera to play with. and then is it good
and still as a child TO whom the moth
err gives n doll instead of the apple
which it must not eat.-Goethe.
