' 1 Bargain 1 with seasonable gooc ices, and tne quality < r your wants. Make VII M N ; Presentment of the Grand Jury To Hon. Robert Aldrich, Judge Presiding. The grand jury submits the following presentment: We have carefully considered all bills of indictment given us at thi9 term, and returned the 9ame to the court with our findings endorsed upon the same. At the last term our jury carefully looked into the management and operations of the various institutions and offices of the county, and submitted some recommendations in regard to the same, which we understand have been carried out. We recognize the pressing need of giving attention to our private affairs just at thi9 time, and have therefore deferred a close examination of the public business of the county until later, when the special committee appointed to do so, will thoroughly examine all the institutions and offices | of the county, and report upon the same. Being convenient to do so, this jury sent a special committee of its selection to visit the county chaingang. This committee reports that the work of the chaingang is being successfully and efficiently prosecuted much and permanent good in the matter of improving the highways of the county is being accomplished. From information furnished its we present Jame9 Popwell and Martha Barrs with living in adultery; and as witnesses to prove the charge, we name the following: Ellen Hutto, Alpine Hutto, Meldredge Brown, John Brown, Mack Sturkie, Ben Sharpe, and LiDford Barefoot.
