Report of Grand Jury.
To His Honor, John S. Wilson, Pre-
siding Judge:
| We, the Grand Jury, having passed
upon all bills submitted to us by the
Court, beg leave to make the following
report:
The committee appointed by us to
| examine the poor house, the Jail, the
roads and chain gang. and to look
into the condition of the various Of
fees, report as follows:
The por house is neatly kept and in
fair condition with the exception of
the roof of the colored department
which is in need fo repair. The jail
is in excellent condition in every re-
spect and the prisoners we'll cared
for. The roads, generally speaking,
are in a very bad condition. The
bridge across Bear Creek, near Mer-
riman's mill, is in bad condition. The
abutment to the steel bridge at Craig's
mill and the one at the bridge across
Crewses branch are in need of repairs
and we recommend that these be at
tended to at once.
New tents have been bought for the
chain gang and the prisoners are as
comfortably fixed as could be ex-
pected.
