SHORT AND STRAIGHT
General Presentment of the Grand
Jury


Jury
Ocala, Fla, Dec. Ia, 1920.
To Hon. w s. Bullock, Judge of the
Fifth Judicial Circuit of Florida:
We the grand jurors sworn and en-
panneled at this the fall term of cir
cult court in and for Marion county,
having completed our labors, submit
this our final presentment.
We have diligently and carefully
examined into all matters brought to
our attention or within our knowledge
ard have found true bills only in
those cases where we thought the evil
dence would justify conviction be-
fore petit jury. Considering the
populatio nand size of our county. we
must say that our labors have been
light and there is no great wave of
crime in our county
We have examined the county jail
and find it in sanitary condition and
that all inmates are well cared for.
We have examined the court house
and find that it needs repairs but as
this is the duty of the county COM
n1issioners we do not deem it neces-
sary to go into detail but simply call
the matter to their attention. We
have examined the various county of
fees and find them all neat and well
kept and the officials courteous and
|obliging
We cannot close without condemn
ing the recent action of the state
boad of pardons in the reckless man
ner in whic hthey have set at naught
the action of our courts and set free
those who should be behind prison
bars. We call on the people to rise In
their power and prevent repetition
of this wrong at the hands of the men
who though holding public Office have
Frustrated same to the shame of our
state.
We find that our county as a whole
lis in healthy, prosperous state and
our people happy and contented.
We find that the city's motor camp
grounds are in bad condition, unsani-
tary and unsightly and we recommend
that same be cleaned up, properly
| lighted and sewerage installed or that
same be abolished.
In conclusion we desire to thank
| your honor for your able and compre-
hensive charge and other assistance
rendered US. We likewise desire to
thank the state attorney, sheriff and
clerk for the assistance to US in the
discharge of our duties and now ask
TO be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
John L. Edwards, Foreman

The teachercraft have their ten

they are asking the legislature to add
to the taxes IN order to pay them
more. They are paid higher than the

Gods ways are perfection Man
must not, and does not, question them.
His ways are the best; and though it
seems hard to realize that a most
loved one, a precious little infant. has
been snatched from this earth, the
Great Savior OF Mankind so willed it.
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps on the sea,
And rides upon the storm"
Thus must be regarded the sad dis
appearance of one of the brightest and
sweetest babes of our community.
This was little Nancy othello Connell.
the daughter of Mrs. t. G.. Council.
The little one was i'll for two weeks
and suffered much, but at 4 o'clock
Ion Dec. 9Th the angel came and bore
It's soul above. Little Nancy was 10
months old and was the sunshine of
her home. 1t is sad, but we who knew
ard loved her, take much comfort in
the fact that our little friend is
E"Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
There in his love confding.
Sweetly my soul shall rest"
And with this thought in mind we
offer the comfort of true friendship
for our little missing friend. to the
deeply bereaved mother and loved
ores. It is Gods way-it is Gods
work. His ways are best, and we
know that the soul of our little one is
now with its maker. A Friend.

covered the remaining debt on the
