Presiding Judge : The Grand jury, upon the conclusion oi their labors tor the entire term and tor the present term of the Court, respect lully return : First. That they have passed upon, and returned to the Court all bills sub milted to them by the Solicitor with as much speed as the importance and gra vity of their duties permitted, Second. That at a previous term ot the Court they appointed two special committees, each' consisting ot 3 mein "Bets bf their body, the one to investigate the condition ot the Poor Farm and its inmates, the other to investigate the pub : lie buildings and ofiices.

Marlboro county reespectlully report . .That Irom lime to time since their ap pointaient they have met during the present year and made as thorough an investigation ot the condition ol the pub lic buildings and the public offices as their ability allowed, and submit as re sult ol those investigations . I. Thal the Court House is in bad condition and has been much abused for so comparatively a new building, with out iault, however, of any ot the officers. The walls of the Hall-way and the Court room are much disfigured and soiled Irom being marked and spit upon, and especially is this the case in the Hallway Wc find, also, thal many ol the window sills, the blinds and other woodwork ol the building are rotten, and in need ol immediate repair, otherwise thc whole building will he in danger. There is great lack of furniture in most ot thc ot fices, especially in that ol the Clerk and Superintendent ol Education, and this want should at once be supplied. Fspe dally would we recommend that chairs lor the offices ol the Clerk and Supt ol Education be furnished as these are ne cessary lor the public who have business with these officers. Suitable shelves and pigeon holes should also be placed in theolliceol the County Supervisor upon and in which to keep the books and the records ot his oilice. The office of the Clerk ol Court is en tirely inadquate lor die records and bu siness of that important official. The shelves he now has are filled to their ut most capacity, and so great is the weight upon the wooden pailitions and divisions in thc lire proof department, that the woodwork has been crushed, and it is almost impossible to open and close the doors of the same. To remedy this your committee recommends that all work needing repair be at once repaired ; the walls ot the whole building calsomined j locks, or other proper tastenings, be placed on the outside doors, so that the building can be closed entirely at night; that spittoons be placed along the Hall way and in the offices, and that each of ficer constitute himself a watc hman and detective to prosecute any and all per?, sons who, in any way or manner, dis figure the walls or floor, or other parts| ot the building. They also recommend that the office now occupied by the Aud ?tor be turned over to the Clerk as part ol his office, and an opening be made from tlie present Clerk's office into the same ; and that the Auditor use and oc cupy jointly with Magistrate Easterlingl the office now in the use ol the latter. They also recommend the purchase and installation into the Clerk's oilice ot the new system ol office lurniture, consisting ol steel cases and steel loller shelves ; that alter the same is prepared for the purpose, the Clerk do translcr to the new apartment all the old Judgment llolls.gof both the Common pleas and Sum. Pro. jurisdiction, and such other ol the old record* as are of least importance, and that the present fire proof department be devoted exclusively to the records and books connected with Mesne Conveyan cing and Judgment Rolls since the adop lion ol the Code ot Civil Proceed ure.

The Powders, acting directly on the digestive organs, first thoroughly cleanses the stomach and bowels, correcting all disorders, and then good healthy appetite comes nat urally and surely. It is the most powerful tonic and appetizer on the market to-day, and when once used horsemen will have no other. Ashcraft's Powders produce that silky sheen of coat and hair so admired by horse fanciers. The Powders fatten but never bloat. Always high grade and put up in doses-never in bulk. By the use of three or four doses a week your horse or mule will not be subject to colic or any dis ease of the stomach and bowels. "I lind on old horao that was in very bad condition generally. Tie waa thin ancfT.atl a blood disease that waa causing the hair to como off. I gave tho horae three doses of Ash craft's Condition Powders a day foraeven daya and fed him liberally.
