 The report of the grand jury in jul is as follows:
 Conway, Ark, Jan. IS, 1917. To the Honorable T. C. Trimble,
 Judge of the Faulkner County, Circuit Court.
 We, the grand jury for the Janu- ary, 1917, term of the Faulkner county circuit court, beg to submit the following report:
 We have examined the various re ports, made by the commissioners of accounts, and in solar as we are able to determine, their work has been thorough and complete. In this connection this grand jury would recommend that the county judge of Faulkner county employ an expert accountant to audit the books and records of the various county officers, and install a more adequate system of bookkeeping, whereby the countys affairs may be kept in a more tan gible shape We have examined the reports of the justices of the peace and find most of them made out and kept in regular form. We find the following justices of the peace have failed to turn in their reports: w.. w. Burgin, Bristol township; J. II. Thorn, California township; R. l.. Hogan, Cypress township; O. &. Lawrence, Danley township; T, F. Langley, Harve township; J. w. Hancock, Harve township; D. F. Livingston, Mountain township; J. IL. Wilson, Mountain township; T.. w. Walls, Palarm township; s. T. Riggs, Pine Mountain township; J. IT. Harrison, Pierce Creek township. We would recommend a severe |reprimand for these parties from the lcourt.
 We had a committee to visit the county poor farm, which committee reported three inmates, two women and one man. They reported all buildings in need of repair, especial Ily to be recovered. Also found the fence in bad repair in number of places. This farm is only short distance from the town of Conway, and could be sold at a very far price. This farm could be sold and a farm further from Conway pur- chased for a much less amount, and, which, for all intents and purposes would be just as good for the coun- ty. This report was accepted by the grand jury as body, which body recommends most heartily the above report.
 The grand jury, as a body, visit ed the jail, and found same in a very good and sanitary condition. We would recommend that the jail build ing be ceiled upstairs, both wall and overhead, with iron latticed ceiling covered over with concrete mix ture.
 We find the dry closets on the court house grounds, in very un- sanitary condition, and recommend that this closet be put in sanitary condition at once, and that partlcu- lar attention be given this closet at regular intervals. We would also recommend that at least two dry closets be installed in the court house building, one for male and one for females.
 We have dismissed three cases re ferred from the last grand jury.
