satisfactory condition: also have we
examined the slierill's ollice and
the jiiil of this county. The ollice
i satisfactorily kept, ami the jail,
ao far as the same can I to done,
under it present arrangement. We,
however, liml that the jail is iuade
plate to the demand of the county,
and extremely dangerous to the
sherill' ami deputies, who have the
same in charge; that there should
la1 provided and furnished at least
one steel cell, for the proor keeping
f prisoners, and some dillcrcnt
arrangements made inside the jail
for the safety of the sherill' and
deputies while earing for and keep-
ing prisoners, and we earnestlv rec
ommend the county court of" this
county to sccdily take such steps
ns will remedy these evils.
We did not, Mraonally. visit and

Wo liml the IkkiIcs of the county

taxes for the year I SIM ), amounting

hut that there is now u delinquent

shall he collected and paid into the
treasurer of the county as secdily
aa (HHtsioic.
Wc tender our thanks, and heg
to compliment the Hon. Morton D.

manner in which he has disposed of

Also, to our district attorney,

and advice in e.xjH'dttuig our labors,
and for the satislactory manner in
which he lias conducted imsincss in

To our hailiir, we aie under

i iug that he has pei formed this duty
for a number of years past, we
