GRAND JURY REPORT. To the Honorable C. A. Denton, Cir- cuit Judge: We, the Grand Jury, acting under your instructions respectfully submis the following report: Jatt: We find the jail well kept anda credit to the county and fur- ther the prisoners seem to be weil fed and their quarters in fairly good condition. We recommend that the flues be resopped, the jail painted and the lot fence repaired. CovrTuovse: The gentlemen's closet in the court house basement !s in an unsanitary condition but bet- ter now than 1s was a few weeks or months ago. We recommend that it be kept in good condition during the whole year. The ladies rest room we find kept in excellent condition and strongly recommend {t’s continuance. The east front door of the court house opens inward. We recommend that it be changed to open outward We find that the roof of the court- house fs in bad condition and recom- mend thatit be repaired immedi- ately, According to the evidence before the grand jury the opening of the Butler Sewer into Mound Branch fe very annoying to the~ public who travel the road south from town and we recommend that said opening be moved farther down the creek and the nulsance abated. According to your instructions the Grand Jury report that they have returned a number of Indictments under Section 2257, Revised Stas- utes of 1899 for failing to give in correct tax liste. There may be some doubt whether the sald indictments should not have been based on Seec- tiou 9150 for a felony and we recom- mend that should any defendant to these indictments raise any technical questions or muke the point that he should have Yeen indicted for a fel- ony {nstead of misdemeanor that the Prosecuting Attorney nolle his indicsment and proceed against the parties for perjury. We recommend that the township assessors make strict inquiry of the Excellent Values in Shirt-Waists THOSE who have already in- inspected our extensive offer- ings of Shirt-Waists know how well-made the garments are, how choice are the materials used, how dainty are the laces and embroideries with which they are embellished, how perfectly each seam is laid and finished, and how thoroughly every small detail is cared for. Those who have made purchases know how satisfactorily these Shirt-Waists fit. We know that no better values have been offered in this city and we urge you to make your selection while our assortment is still complete. Weare offering a first class, high grade Sewing Machine Seven drawers, automatic drop head, well finished, all attachments, with a guarantee backed by the people who made it—by one of the largest furni- ture factories in the country—and by us. Worth everyplace and every- where $40.00; our price 625.00 We have one made by the same house—just as good—drop head, lifts by hand. Notso many drawers, but worth every cent of $25.00. Our Price, $25.00. SEE THEM. ERE are six distinct styles, each one a real beauty, and all are so carefully made that you will find it a genuine pleasure merely to examine them. The 98-cent garment on the left is an Eyelet Em- broidery effect, with a neatly tucked yoke. While the $1.50 gar- \ ment just below it comes in English Torchon Lace, with a combina- tion of plaits and pin tucks. Notice the unusual and striking ideas carried out in the two embroideried Shirt-Waists on the right. The | lower of these carries a quantity of beautiful Vallenciennes insertion in the yoke. The two garments at the top, priced at $3 each, must | be seen to be fully appreciated. The charming manner in which each is designed cannot be shown with justice in an illustration. Other Shirt-Waists equally effective and pleasing may be found in 4 3 parties listing property for taxation ; and more diligently search for mon our collection. r Py a eys wod notes wad also that the : township assessors be more careful | when assessment list 18 signed by persons making it to swear him or Furniture Company. or her hand and go through the out Eggs Same as Cash. ; The Store for Bargains. ward formality of taking an oath.
