Circuit Court.

The grand jury was discharged on
Friday, 14th inst, after having made
the following report:
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Carroll County:
The Grand Jury h. been in session
five days. we have examined IA wit
nesses, found 56 presentments and 8
dismissals. We have investigated
carefully all matters coming before us
and have made special investigation
where there was any likelihood OF the
Local Option Law having been VIC
lated, and were unable to find any
evidence that the same was not be-
ing lived up to. We have found the
most prevalent crimes to be larceny
and bastardy. We visited the county
jail and have only words or commen-
dation for those who have 1t In charge.
Especial attention Is called to the
county farm. 1t is well kept and in a
high state of cultivation. Its sani-
tary condition is all that could be de-
sired. Under the care OF MIR. Hum
bert and his wife We are sure the
unfortunate ones who are in their
charge are well looked after. The
general conditions are the best.
We appreciate the courtesy shown
us by the Court, the States Attorney
and other officers or the State with
whom We came fin contact ira the dis
charge OF our duties.
No presentment being found in the
case Of Henry Dotson, alias Rastus
Diteon, now in Jail, we ask that he be
dismissed.
