' To His Honor. Clias. G. Dantxler, 1 Presiding Judge, June Term of j Court, Union, tf. C. The Grand Jury beg leave to make the following report: We have passed upon all bills given us by the Solicitor, fiiteen in all, and have found true bills 'n eleven cases, and no bills In four cases. The Grand Jury deplores the fact thut1 human life is so cheap in our county, as well as nil over the country. Thr?e murders have been committed la our county since last court?an interval of only live months. Wo would be glad to be able to suggest some plan by which so much bloodshed could be prevented. If the handy hip pocket pistol could be banished from the land, murders would certaiuly cease to a great extent. We were pleased to report at the January term of court that the County Commissioners had erected several substantial bridges in the county, but we aro sorry to learn bhat several of the bridges have been carried away by the recent heavy Hoods. We hope and believe that the County Commissioners will be ible to meet the condition of affairs bo the best interest for the public ^ood. As we visited tho Poorhouse, Jail, Stockade und Dispensary at the .January term, we deem it unnecessary to visit these institutions at this term. We have appointed a special committee to examine the books of all tho county officers during the interim and will report on their condition at the next term of court. Thanking your Honor and the Solicitor for the courtesies shown us, we are Respectfully, W. H. S. Harkis, Foreman. Jonesvillc lot tin rfs.

Mr. Wagnon sold out his business interests the first of this year and entered into the active ministry. In a short whilo he developed a severe chronic sore throat, in spite of continued treatment he grew worse and worse. At last he went to Atlanta and consulted I)r. Calhoun, the famous throat I specialist. Dr. Calhoun held out no hope for a permanent cure except upon condition that he leave the ministry. This Mr. Wagnon has decided upon. Mr. Young is Mayor of Union, and has been for many years a prominent merchant here, doing a large grocery business. The new concern will start out with bright I prospect* and promises a large sueloess. j There's No II Facts ai # ft' tial 11) ft I 1 Wedon't merelv ?;iy lli it others charge on g; o is of eon we give you p'ain figures so yourself.
