The Kind Witch

Once a little boy had a Hallowe'-
en- party. He invited twenty OF his
best friends. They all came mask
ed, except one little girl; and she
nearly cried because she was not
masked too. While the other chill
dren were dancing, she stood by the
hall door. All at once a witch was
standing by her side. The little
girl was frightened, but the witch
took out of her pocket beautiful,
snow white goose and gave it to
the little girl.
Then they went out and the witch
showed her how to ride the goose.
She flew up to the moon and
watched the man in the moon make
moonlight. "a cooperative story,

OF COUNTY ARE:
IN GOOD SHAPE
GRAND JURYS FINAL REPORT
coMMENDs CONDITIONS AT
POOR AND WORK HOUSES.
IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT LATER
Jail Is Also Being Well Kept and the
Prisoners HumapeIy Treated-Guar.
diam and Administrators Bonds Are
Examined and Approved.

All of the institutions of the county
are in fine shape, according to the re-
port OF the grand jury made to Judge
Turner just before it was dismissed
on Wednesday afternoon. The report
shows that conditions at the poor
house are generally satisfactory and
that institution has on hand a large
amount Of supplies that were grown
on the farm. The management is com
mended.
lmproveent is noted in the condi-
tion of the workhouse. A former re-
port on this institution INDUCED in
some criticism Of the sanitary ar
rangements. The foreman, who is
now a permanent official, stated that
these defects had been remedied and
things were in much better shape
The grand jury also found the Jail
to be well kept and the prisoners hui
namely treated under the administra-
tion Of Sheriff Houser. The reports on
the jail since the administration of
the present sheriff commenced have
been uniformly good.
The jurors also examined the bonds
of fudiciaries in the clerks Office and
found them to be properly executed
and solvent. The foreman stated that
good part of the time of the jury
was taken up in the investigation of
cases in which no true bills were re.
turned. Only seventeen true bills
were returned during the term.
