Sam and John Burgess, tw>
d-unks, were up before the intend?nt
bright and # arly on the first !
Monday after the full moon. They '
were spreading their legs over an
excess of sidewalk Saturday night
when the cop invited them to take
a stroll. One carried?or was trying
to carry?"Golden Wedding," '
while the " White Rabbit" was "do- ;
ing" the other into all sorts of knots. ,
The night spent in the refrigerator

The town treasury is now in better I (
shape to the extent of a few dollars.
Last Friday night while the
through freight was on the pass
track a car was broken into and
some chains and shoes taken. Saturday
a search was made and the
goods were found in Peter Martin's
house and Peter's wife told the
officers that he (Peter) had brought
the goods to the house. At this
time Peter was moving i?\vay
silently but swiftly and in the direction
of the sylvan shades. J. S.
Howie put his blood hounds on the
trail, which was followed several.
hours but finally lost, Peter taking;
to the lake and wading down it'
some considerable distance. The)
cha-e being called off things settled i
down to their accustomed quiet. I
About three o'el'wk it was learned!
that Peter had just been back In |
town, having come up within hi
hundred or two feet of the depot.!
The chase started again and eou-j
tinued two or three hours with the!
*ame outcome as the morning's |
run. On Monday afternoon Peter
was again located just across the
lak and the party went forth for
ano jar permit but the dogs failed
to pick up the trail.
There are but few female lawyers.
A woman would rather lay
down the law lo one man than to
practice-it before a jooail'ul.

GRAND JUKY PRESENTMENT.
Report Presented at March Term of
Court. 1902.
To His Honor, Charles G. Dantzler,
presiding judge, March term,1902.
We, the grand jury, beg to submit
this our presentment:
* -ii urn*,
\v e Have passed upon mi umo
handed out to us by our worthy solicitor
with due and deliberate consideration
and have found true bills
in all cases save two.
We have examined the jail and
its surroundings and found them in
fairly good condition except that
there is need for a few panes of
glass in different windows.
The prisoners are being very well
cared for.
We have appointed a special
committee, consisting of our foreman,
J. J. Graham, as chairman,
and J. G. Barraivay, L. L. Bodgers,
P. M. Brockinton and J. T. Frierson,
to examine the various county
officers, and have elected LeRoy
Lee, Esq., as expert to assist said
committee in their investigation,
the result of which will l>e reported
in our final presentment.
Our attention has been called to
the county line road leading from
the Georgetown railroad south to
the eight-mile post; also that section
of the road leading from Ards
Cross Roads to Gallavans Ferry,
from near the residence of W. H.
Harmon to the county line road
near Pine Grove. We are informed
that very little,if any,work has been
lone on these roads for the past
two years, and we recommend that
special attention be given them at
once. We understand that the fault
if this neglect is not confined to
Dur supervisor, but rather to the
road overseers.
It has been brought to our attention
that one W. W. Johnson, a
married man, has for the past two
ar three years been living in adul
tery with one Miss E.F.Benson,
lis sister-in-law, in the Johnsoncille
neighborhood, and the names
>f J. E. Tharpe, J. J. G. Stone, Mrs.
\nnaTharpe, Mrs. Emma Johnson
*nd J. T. Gastor have been given
js as witnesses and we recommend
that the necessary steps be taken
to prevent the continuance of this
co-habitation. .
We are glad to know and see
that our county is in a prosperous
condition and extend our hearty
thanks to Your Honor for your
complimentary remaiks in refinance
to the recent very great improvements
made in our Gourt
House. We think that in keeping
with this Improvement, the suggestions
of the last grand jury should
be carried out. We refer to that
part of their report in reference to
the condition of the Court House
Square. We agree fully with our
past grand jury that the square, or i
at least a part of it, about twentyfive
or thirty feet immediately
around the Court House, be cultivated
in some kind of lawn grass
and surrounded by an iron fence.
This arrangement, we think, will
allow nlnntv nf rnnm for hlttrhioir
stock over the remaining part of
the square.
We extend our hearty commendation
to our Solicitor for the vigorous
manner in which he discharges
his duty and to Your Honor we
extend our hearty thanks and appreciation
for the kindness and
courtesy shown us, and the able
charges of law given us by you,
which so well enabled us in our
attempt So discharge our duty.

Foreman.

Albany. (Ja., says: " I took DeWitt's
Little Early Risers for biliousness
They were just what I needed. I am
feeling better now than in years."
Never gripe or distress. Safa thorough

been a benefit to all my family. D* C.
Scott.
