Grand Jury Report.

lO Tic llOn. JOIn Il. MCOiuIci
Judge of the District Court OF
the Fifth Judicial District OF
the State of New Mexico.
We, the Grand Jurors, duly
impaneled, sworn and charged
at this February term of the
District Court of Curry County,
after five days of continuous
labor. beg to report as follows:
We have diligently investiga-
ted all matters brought before
us. and have examined during
the course of our session forty
witnesses. and have found and
returned into court five True
Bills and five No Bills.
We have examined by COM
mittees, the books of the vari-
.ous county officers. In the
Treasurer's office we find that
the the tax rolls are badly blot
ted, and bear a great many
erasures and alterations, and
several pages of additi onal rem.
ditions of Notwithstanding
like two hundred cases had not
been assessed by the Assessor;
also found a great many cases
where property had been as
sessed before it was decided by
the government. We recon-
mend that the Assessor be more
careful in the future about
finding out as to whether or not
the property was ieeded before
putting it on the assessors rolls
and in doing this he will also
render for taxation the instance
where they had been left off.
The Treasurer's office is badly
in need of additional room for
storing records. In order to
overcome this, we recommend
that the present mems toilet be
removed to the basement, and
that this room be added to the
treasurer's vault, so as to give
him the necessary space for
storing records. While this
change is being made, we would
also recommend that rollers be
installed in the vault so as to
facilita te the handling of the
books, which are at present
piled down on the floor. which is
injurious to the books. as well
as being inconvenient to ham
die. This change should be
made by moving the toilet from
its present place to the base
ment, provided the proper sew
erage connections could be
made.
With the exception of the
office above mentioned the books
of the other offices are kept in a
satisfactory condition. and as
far as the records in the other
Offices are concerned, they are
satisfactorily kept, that is as
far as we are able to determine
in the limited time at our dis
posal.
We recommend that the roof
of the Jail be repaired, and the
bedding be properly washed and
attended to. We find the closet
in bad condition and in need of
repair. The plastering is off of
the ceiling in the Jail, and atten-
ton should be given to this mat
ter by the proper authorities.
In the County Clerks Office in
the court house the flooring is
dropping away from the base
board, and should be repaired, !
and we recommend that this be
done.

SCRIPTURE
Mathew 20: 1884.

And as they departed from Jericho,
a great multitude followed him.
And, behold, two blind men sitting
by the wayside, when they heard that
Jesus passed by, cried out, saying:
Have mercy on us, o Lord, thou son of
David.
And the multitude rebuked them, be-
cause they should hold their peace:
but they cried out the more. saying,
Have mercy on us. o Lord, thou son of
David.
And Jesus stood still. and called
them, and said, What will ye that 1
shall do unto you?
They say unto him, Lord, that our
eyes may be opened.
So Jesus had compassion on them,
and touched their eyes: and imme-
diately their eyes received sight and
they followed him.

The revival meetings al the Meth
odist church will continue all this
week and possibly into the coming
week. Rev. w. w. McCord of Geor-
gia is preaching twice daily and to
good congregations. The News trusts
that these meetings will prove great
spiritual awakening for the town.
There was one item in the series
of items concerning Crescent City,
in the recent issue of the Florida
Grower, that all will admit is true,
and this had reference to the splen-
did entertainment and dinner given
the visitors by Capt. and Mrs. j. E.
Bartlett. All who have sampled the
Bartlett hospitality are sure that as
entertainers they have no superiors
IN he country round.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hurlbut motored to
Palatka on Tuesday and did some
ST opping. Mrs. Hurlbut states thai
it was mistake made in these col
umns last week concerning her en-
tertainment of DR.. and Mrs. Scofeld
on the occasion of their Both wedding
anniversary, but &hat the credit OF
that entainment is due Mr.. and Mrs
W. c. Moron, who made up a splen-
did dinner party in their honor
Mrs. Hurlbut simply made the dis
tinguished couple big cake in hon

Town Officers Nominated.

The municipal nominating meeting
for town Offices was held at the town
council room in the auditorium last
friday night. The night was incle-
ment, nevertheless the attendance was
good, fully SIS votes being cast on the
first ballot for aldermen, and showing
at least that the people are waking
up to the Importance of having say
in municipal matters.
Col. G. T. Graham was renominated
by acclamation for mayor, Clifford
Hunter, K. Borson and L. C. Preston
were nominated for aldermen for two
years, and E. H. Williams was nomi-
mated for alderman for the one year
term. Albert Edward Lounds was
nominated by reclamation for clerk
and collector, w. H. Fuller, also by
acclamation, for assessor and treas
urer, and c. J. Hunter for marshal.
Col. B. F. Tillinghast was chairman
of the meeting and C Oliver Cham

however, in the assurance that it is
not the only one that has been attack

was only few months ago that Ks-

Stanford, president of the State
Chamber OF Commerce, leading

Crescent City has many defects and
these the citizens of the town quite
| generally recognize and are even now
engaged in the preliminary discussion
incident to their remedy. These de-
fects consist of lighting and other i'm
provements. The city gas plant was
destroyed something over year ago,
and an electrical plant costs money.
But when this man states that "ra-
zor-backs saunter along unmolested,
even admired and respected" he de.
liberately falsifes. The editor of
this paper has seen hogs in the streets
of Tampa, and one may have strayed
within the incorporate limits of Cres-
cent City, but the fact does not re-
fleet on the people of either place, as
both places have banished them from
their limits by ordinance.
Two real estate agencies are here,
and as for a newspaper, the people
know there is at least one that stands
ready to resent in no uncertain Ian
guage such attacks as those contain

turer who hasn't a dollar invested,
