Spain, Presiding Judge: \Ve, the grand jury, beg leave to make this our final presentment for this term of court. We have passed on all bills handed us by the solicitor and have ren dered such .verdicts in our opinion as the evidence in each case justified. 1st-The committee appointed to look after the county chaingaing has visited it from time to time and found it in a sanitary condition, prisoners well cared for and stock in good condition. We find them in need of some bedding. We find that private parties are feeding scraps to their own stock. We advise that the county keep a sufficient num ber of hogs to consume this waste. We also advise all county employes to prac tice economy in feeding mules which are employed by county scrapes, chaingang, etc. 2d-The committee appointed to look after poor farm has visited the farm and find it to be carefully superintended and the inmates to be well cared for. We find that the steward and his wife are overworked in providing for the inmates. We would recommend that the super visor provide some means for their re lief. 3d-We recommend that the'proper officers of Pickens county reimburse the bondsmen in such amount as it would have cost the county to have paid for the bond of Treasurer Stewart during his term of oflice in a regular bonding company, which amounts to $200 (or $50 for each year on $20,000 for four years.) 4th (a) -We beg leave to submit a special petitiori from the citizens of Calhoun (the county commissioners hav ing. already been petitioned without re sult.) We recommend that the court urge the supervisor to give this matter his immediate attention. (b) We find that the bridges of the entire county are in a deplorable condition, many of them practically impassable and dangerous to the safety of the traveling public. We most earnestly request the supervisor's special attention to this condition and urge his prompt action in relieving the situation. (c) Our attention has been called by several of the rural mail car riers to the bad condition of these roads. We most earnestly recommend that the mail route roads he looked after more closely, as we realize the great impor tance and benefits derived by our rural citizens from the daily maii.' 5th-Report of rural police herewith attached shows that they have sent to the chaingang 240 days since the June term of court and collected $292.50 it fines and foreitures. 6th--We recommend that the county supervisor itemize his expenditures and publish them, as required by law. Having discharged our duties as best we see, we beg to Le excused from fim' ther attendance at this term of court. We wish to thank His Honor. .Jude F. 1. Spain, and all court officials f'r their kindness and courtesies. Respectfully submitted, G. U. Hi r sNIUCKs, Form'm.

Davis of Toccoa, Ga. The church was crowded with rela tivos and friends of the young couple to witness the solemn ceremonv. which was impressively per for-med by Rev. D) W. _IHiot t, an old-ti me friend of the family of the bride. It was a beautiful scene. Ferns and1 flowvers were usedl in the decor-ations, and the church seemed a veritable flower' garden.
