' v 3< 3 PUBLISHER ROXBOR RETORT OK GRAND JURY fOR 1921 SPRING TERM PERSONCOUNTY SUPERIOR COURT. We, the grand jurors of the Spring! c Term of Person County ' Superior i Court, bag to submit to His Honor.It Judge Sinclair, judge presiding, the1S following report of what we' have c done: <1 (1) We have examined and acted c upon all bills sent to us and have re-fi turned true bills and made present- |S ments in cases we thought needed jr such action. r (2) The whole body visited the . I County Home. We .found the inmate] j v installed in the new home, a place of . i beauty, comfort and convenience, andjv everything running smoothly. We'r found about 1000 pounds of home- ( cured meat on hand, feed and hay s on hand enough to make this crop, I "I""'' ds hnn-eU nf i-nra ft hllshela of i I stock pe?S, 40 gallons of pure apple 1 vinegar and 70 gallons of home-made c molasses. We find that the superin-lc tendent, during: his' spare time, has | c made four very nice and neat look-j ing coffins to be used by the inmates,, thereby saving the County the expense *of purchasing expensive cof-j fins. We recommend that the little white girl "of about ten years of age,? now an inmate of the County Home,1 be sent to the school for feeble mind-' ed persons at Kinston as soon as pos-' sible. We also recommend that the j little deaf and dumb colored boy* be sent. to the State School for such' persons. This boy has been thoroughly examined by Dr. Long, the County! Health Officer, and found to be sound and free from tuberculosis. We rec-| ommend that a doOr be cut where the window now is situated on the stair-1 way. leading from the basement to facilitate bringing out ashes from the| large furnace of the heating plant. We wish to compliment the Superin-! tendent of the County Home for the good work he is carrying on. j (3) We have visited the jail and; found everything in good condition.* sanitary and comfort for the prison-, ers. We have also investigated and found that the Health Officer has examined each prisoner within 24 hours after the prisoner!^confinement since the jail has been renovated and re-! arranged/ We have examined the Sheriff's of- j fice and found everything kept in an c orderly manner and his books kept } in a neat and systematic manner. Al-.1 x so the Register of Deeds office was l visited and everything in order. The j ; Clerk's office was also visited and ? found in order. We examined the of- t fice of the Supt. of Public Instruction: x and find his books in good condition,' r and we recopimend that we have ^ ? County-wide special high school f tax of thirty (30) cents on the hun-j> dred dollars as now in effect in some \ of the school districts. j In regards to remodeling'the court | house, we feel that this mattw^sjiould ] be left to the Board of County minsioners.
