alton, we have returned o. true bills,
and IS 10 bills.
We, the Grand Jury of Ben Hill
County, January Term, 1925, have du-
ly appointed committees for the in
vestigation of our county roads and
chaingan9s, public buildings and the
grounds, and to investigate the books
and records of the various County Oh
Ulcers OF Ben Hill County, Georgia al
SC the dockets OF the various Justices
OF the Peace, OF Ben Hill County, and
we submit their signed reports below:
To the Horarble Foreman and Mem
bers OF ;hc Grand Jury, Ben Hill
County:
Gentlemen: We your committee ap-
pc med 10 inspect the County roads,
bridges, and chain gang camp, beg
leave to submit ne following report:
On account of the recent rains we
did not &C over all the roads but made
inquiries from parties who had been
over practically all of them, within
the last few days, and they report all
the roads in fairly good condition with
the exception of two bridges. One at
Bethlehem church, and one at Stur
geon Creek. These bridges are in pas
saDIe condition but need repairs. The
County Warden reported that he had
already made arrangements for lum-
Der and material to make the repairs
to these two bridges.
On inspecting the Changing camp
we found the buildings and grounds,
dining room, kitchens, and sleeping
quarters in good condition. The store
room, where ertra clothing is kept and
also the bath quarters, we found clean
and in good condition.
On inspecting the shelter where the
trucks, tools, oils, and all the supplies
are kept, we find that these quarters
are very inadequate, the shelter leaks
and has no side walls, the tools, oils
and greases as we'll as all supplies are
exposed to the weather and also the
public as the shelter is constructed
alongside the public road.
We, therefore recommend that the
County Commissioners be instructed
to build large and better shed to take
care OF all supplies, trucks, etc.
Respectfully submitted,
Ed Hussey, Chairman,
J. A. Bond,
q. L. McCook.

a cabin, which was later replaced by
the manor that stands today.
In England, Wallop had known the

Scotland. He wrote of his new coun-
try to William and Malcolm Mon
erieffe, the baronet's sons. They de-
cided to join Wallop in America. Both
found ranch sites at the foot of the
Big Horns. Others followed. Only
recently William Moncrieffe sold his
ranch to an American, Bradford Erin

in Wyoming, but the rest form a vtr-
tual little colony in the heart of the

Wallop took an active interest In
the life around him. AS the towns of
Big Horn and Sheridan sprang up he
became a leading figure in the coun-
tryside. In 1909 he was sent to the
Legislature, where he served two
terms. To this day he is chairman
of the horse committee for the Sheri-
dan County Fair. lie has even be

neers less fortunate, who always re-
ceive the same kind of welcome.
The kindness of the old man is pro-
verbal. On hearing of Wallop's new
title, United States Senator John B.
kendrick, a lifelong friend, said:
What does he need of a title? He
has more friends than any man I
know. He is the only man of my ac
quaintance of whom / have never
heard mean word spoken"
The place is study in contrasts.
The lawns end abruptly and give
away to fields of grain. The fields of
grain stretch to the very rocks of the
Big Horns, which rise to thousands of
feet and seemingly east almost a

down its canyon only a short distance
away.
Chose Site of Home.
The earl chose the site of his home
20 years ago. He came to Wyoming
on a trip of adventure in 1888. Only
one settler alive today was living the n
in the mountains. The young Eng
lishman marked out a ranch on otter
Creek. near the later settlement of
Big Horn, and started to raise horses.
He prospered and made several trips
to the West coast with herds he bred.
But much of his time was spent in
merely trampping the Big Horns on

Need of Modernising Villages
Is Urged by Federal Experts

Need for improving country vii
lagos in the United States to meet
modern social and economic needs is
emphasized in "A nationwide survey
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Most villages, department officials
declare, have Just grown up" with
resultant defects in form and ar
rangement to provide social, esthetic
and economic advantages for resi-
dents and nearby farm families. The
need for well planned villages is
pointed out in the fact that some
10000, 900 people in the United States
live in villages, and that more than
30,000,0 600 farm people use them as
centers of trade, education, religion
and recreation.
Many Practically Rebuilt.
Numerous instances are cited by
the department where villages have
requirements. The village of Weston,
Mass, for example, under the direc
ton of the town Improvement com
mission, has in the past few years
entirely reconstructed its business dis
trict to form a notable civic center.
Old public buildings and shops have
been removed a disease breeding
swamp was filled in and grassed over
to form a common, a beautiful new
town hall was erected, public build
ings were regrouped and convenient
approaches and roadways constructed.
The unfortunate results of un-
directed development in cities are
being keenly appreciated, it is stated,
and millions of dollars are now being
spent to correct these conditions in
an effort to make cities more ap
