We have inspected the Jail and
and find it clean and in good
condition. We have heard much
complaint against the sewerage of
same emptying into the branch
near the residences of some of the
citizens, and would respectfully
call attention to the Commission-
ers Court to this fact.
Also the unprotected condition
of the Jail, there being no fence
around the same, individuals wish-
ing to assist the prisoners to make
escape there from could easily
approach the jail wall and with
an iron rod or a fish pole easily
convey tools to those inside.
We would recomend and urge
upon the Commissioners Court to
erect a good and substantial fence
at least four feet high around said
Jail at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The Jail standing in an
open lot the Sheriff could exercise
but little authority in repeling
persons there from.
We find the Court House in
reasonable condition with the
exception of some writing or
scribling upon the walls but sup-
pose this has been done by some
thoughtless boys. We find that
the Court House roof is in bad
repair and leaks we also recom-
mend that the Commissioners
look after the same.
The closet in Court House yard
seems to be well kept and clean.
The finance committee appoint-
ed by your Honor has already re-
ported to you the condition of
of corn per day. Making the
very best quality of meal. This
mill runs every day. So when
you come to town bring a sack
of corn and have it ground. This
is a great accomodation to far-
mers, and Mr. Francis deserves
the praise of all for his enterpris-
ing spirit.
An eastbound freight train was
wrecked about one mile of Iredell
Tuesday morning. The engine
left the rails first and ran about
400 feet, when it went into the
ditch. Nothing was left on the
rails. The track was torn all to
pieces the full distances. Lee
Kearce, the fireman, was danger-
ously hurt and may die.
John Rizer, of near Meridian
has bought the J. H. Davis place
and moved his family here the

have many friends in Clifton who
are glad to see them make their
home here.—Clifton Record.

as regards to the condition of the
books in the District Clerks office,
and two books, A and B in Sur-
veyors office we most respectfully
recommend and urge up on the
Commissioners Court the necessity
of Having same either rebound or
new ones bought and transcribed
without delay, as the loss of any-
one or parts thereof would likely
cost the citizens of this county
many times the amount of the
cost of all said books and work
of transcribing.

DON’T BORROW TROUBLE.
It is a bad habit to borrow any-
thing, but the worst thing you
can possibly borrow, is trouble.
When sick, sore, heavy, weary
and worn-out by the pains and
poisons of dyspepsia, biliousness,
Bright’s disease, and similar
internal disorders, don’t sit down
and brood over your symptoms,
but fly for relief to Electric Bit-
ters. Here you will find sure
and permanent forgetfulness of
all your troubles, and your body
will not be burdened by a load of

William Lucas Dillard depart-
ed this life at Dallas, Texas, Mon-
day, October 2nd, 1905, at 6:30
o’clock p. m., aged 28 years, 6
months and 1 day. He was the
son of Col. and Mrs. H. M. Dil-
lard of this place.
The circumstances connected
with his last sickness and death
are sad indeed.
He was traveling for the
National Biscuit Co., and while
on his run was taken with a
moderate form of typhoid fever;
thinking it would pass off in a
short time he continued to prose-
cute his work until about a week
before his death, when he conclud-
ed to go home and left Jefferson.
Texas, with that intention, but
on arriving at Greenville his fever
had increased so high that he was
almost delirious and instead of
coming home got off the train
there and was scrambling around,
not knowing what he was doing,
when some men went to his re-
lief and placed him in a carriage
and he was taken the the South-
ern Hotel. A physician was
called and his parents notified of
his condition. His mother and
brother, Hon. H. S. Dillard, left
at once to attend him in his sick-
ness and was joined in a day or
so by his sister, Mrs. Fred Hartel,
of Galveston.
The next morning he got up
and said he was going home and
went to a barber shop near by to
be shaved, but in stepping into
the shop fell and struck his head
against something causing con-
cussion of the brain. He was
taken back to the hotel, where
he remained in a semi-delirious
condition until the next day when
he aroused sufficiently to talk to
his mother, telling her of his con-
dition, also of the fall he had/
received and that he wanted to
go home.
They continued the treatment
