He came to Missouri In the spring OF
1857, locating in Saline County, and
in 1859 was married to his suryiv-
ing wife. Miss Rosetta Supple. by the
late Rev. p. G.. Rea, Cumberland

Ten children have blessed the

NJ. Willie F.. Minnie c.. Ernest r..
Eddie H., and Lizzie N: a family OF
children OF whom the community are
Justly proud. All are honest. up
right. industrious and well educated.
Mr.. Zimmerman was n good man In
the broadest acceptation Of that
term-industrious. high-minded and
honorable in all transactions. He
was man his neighbors loved and
trusted with implicit confidence.
Half century Is a long time to be
acquainted and yet We have been for
nearly fifty years and never have we
heard his honesty questioned or his
character impuned A farmer. In
dustrious, economical and thrifty, he
amassed quite an estate. and at the
same time he and his estimablc wife
never neglected their children but
gave them all n good education and
fitted them well for life's work. a
Catholic in religion himself. he was n
liberal contributor to the Cumberland
Presbyterian church of which his
wife and family were members, and
In all educational. charitable and pub
lie enterprises. he never Jagged be-
hind. In his family he was n kind
and devoted husband. and ms ia.
thor he was revered and loved by LIS
children.
In all the relations OF life we never
knew him 20 shirk duty or betray a
trust. With his old neighbors who

ton thereof.
We particularly commard our
Prosecuting Attorney for his cou-
tcous, faithful and efficient ser
vices. We fell that the interests
ct the county are we'll and proper
ly managed and saie-guarded in
his hands. He is persistent andef-
ficient in his attempts to enforce
the law, and should have the sup
port and good will of all law abid-
ING citizens.
We think that it would prove
beneficial to the county TO- the
county court to work the county
prisoners on the public roads OF
the county as provided by law.
There is much work near the
county seat which the prisoners
could well do, and the expense
incident to working them would
be much less than the service they
would give the county. In addi-
ton, doubtless knowledge on
the part of those cont .mplating
crimes that the county would inn
pose hard labor on those convict
ed, would lessen the number OF
criminals.
Respectfully submitted

THE GRAND JURY
MAKES REPORT
To the Honorable John A. Rich,
Judge of the Criminal Court OF
Saline county, Missouri.

Judge of the Criminal Court OF
Saline county, Missouri.
Dear Sir:
We the Grand Jurors summon
cd for duty as such at the present
March term, 1914, OF the criminal
court of Saline county. Missouri, |
have, in obedience to the instruc-
tions from your honor, visited the
county farm and the various build
ings belonging TO the county and
examination and inquiry iGto the
management and control OF the
officers and employees in SO far
as Our limited time would permit,
and present this as Our final re-
port:
We found the county farm and
buildings in good condition; the
inmates seem TO be we'll cared for
and the building occupied by
them is well kept, sanitary and
pleasant as can be made for the
unfortunate ones therein confin-
cd. The superintendent. Mr.. w.
n. Wilson deserves creditablc
mention because OF his efficient
and economical management Of
the institution, and the kind and
considerate treatment given the
inmates. Considered from the
standpoint OF an investment it is
doubtful whether or not the coun-
ty is getting ample returns from
all the land embraced in the
county farm, and the grand jury
suggest that an examination into
the question of reducing the size
thereof, and more efficiently
working a smaller number OF
acres, might prove that such a
change would be economically
beneficial to the county.
We have examined the various
offices OF the county, and so lar
as we are able to Judge from a
hasty examination, such offices
seem to be in good condition, the
records and books we'll and neat
ly kept, and the officers themsel-
YES courteous and efficient and
faithful in their various duties.
The condition of the court
house generally indicates some
needed improvement. The mat
ting on the halls and circuit court
room is in a very bad condition
and should be removed and a good
and proper covering placed there
on. The circuit court room is
badly in need of painting or pa
pering OF the walls, and placing
same in a much more presentable
and attractive condition.
Our visit to the county Jail inn
presses us with the great need OF
a suitable building to confine
those OF our people who are
charged with crimes or who are
serving sentences therein for
crimes committed,
Because person is so unfortu-
nate as to have to be confined
within prison walls, is no reason
why he should have to suffer the
additional burden of an unsani-
tary, congested and unhealthy
building. The Jail is now crowded
to its capacity and more room is
needed to meet the requirements,
The arrangements OF the Jail are
such that all classes, both the har-
dened criminals and those VINO
are yet of tender and immature
years, must be placed in the same
enclosure, and this condition
should BE especially changed. / ne
present building is entirely made
quate to meet the needs of the
county, and we see no way by
which this can be properly reiued-

Col. Jasper Ewing Brady, of the Vita

the summer in the perturbation of the
Brady novels bought in June. So far he
has completed six Of the plays as fol-
lows: The ChaIice of Courage" Sir
Henry Morgan, Buccaneer." The Angel

enth," The Island of Regeneration" and
Hearts and the Highway" The scenario
work of the remaining two books, ''Fet-
tiers of Freedom" and The Sword Hand
of Napoleon" will be finished within
a short time. The first four books above
mentioned are being done by the Vita
graph California Company under the
direction Of Mr.. Sturgeon. The last two
will be done in the East before the fall
season sets in, thereby insuring their
release within the next three or four
months. 1t will be of interest to note
that Miss Edith Storey has been chosen
for the principal role in The Island Of
Regeneration" When this novel was
first published, it received a great deal
Of attention from tender skinned critics
on account OF the theme. 1t is a bold
one, but is handled in such a manner as
not to offend the most fastidious taste
There is a tremendous moral lesson in
the story and produced, as 1t will be by
the Vitagraph's splendid stars, should be
an instantaneous and lasting success.
Hearts and the Highway is a thrilling
STORY of love and adventure dealing with
events during the time of King James II,
Of England, in which even the king is
outwitted and thwarted by a beautiful
girl fighting for her father and sweet
heart. The play is in five reels and there
will not be a dull moment from the first
flash to the final fade.
