Sf) T NEW SERIES VOL, l NO. 8 Mm MX MAKES i RECOMMENDATIONS To the Honorable Judge J. B. Ray: . We the Grand Jury for Jackfeon nountv for October term 1919, do report as follows: I That we have faithfully carried lout all instructions and given careful attention to all matters en trusted to us your court "to the best of our ability, as to evidence produced before us. That we have inspected the Coun ty Farm and buildings. That the farm appears to have been reason ably cultivated, and crops thereon average with surrounding arms. We find buildings well kept up and cared for, and that the rec ommendations of the previous Grand Jury have been carried out. That they have sufficient farm products to support the Superin tendents and inmates during the year. , That inmates seem to be well cared for and well satisfied. After careful examination of the court house we find the offices well kent. We recommend that the Clerk and Register's offices be sup plied With another filing- case each. We recommend that 4he Grand Jury room be supplied with good t tables and chairs, arid further rec ommend that toilets in the court house be kept in a more sanitary condition, and the grounds around the court house have a general clean up so as to preserve the pub lic buildings. ' Further that we recommend that the jail be enlarged so as to accom modate,women prisoners, as we find that thetsheriff is compelled to use one of the living rooms of the jail for this purpose. We are prompted to make these recommendations because these im provements, in our ; j udgeraent, are needed, and we beg to add that all our recommendations are made f o r th e benefit of the pub lic and of all citizens of Jackson county, for whose benefit they should be kept with care. Respectfully submitted , J, C. Henderson, Foreman. OPENING NUMBER LYCEUM ENJOYED The initial number of the Lyceum Course-which Sylva is to ' enjoy m this winter, under the auspices oi the Missionary Society of the Meth- odist church here, proved to be a very enjoyable entertainment. Mrg. Wiiliam Calvin Chilton, Monodram- ist, captivated the large audience boxes to return to the Census Bu with her power of impersonation. If reau the schedules tilled out with the succeeding numbers are as en- the items of information which they tertsning as? was the first, and such have recorded on the schedules in will; no doubt, be the case, Sylva their canvass of the population, will be much indebted to the ladies homes and farms of .the United who made it possible for us to en- joy this series of entertainments.

It is the intention of the Aircraft section to surrender the entire building to the Census Bureau within a few months. The building, a full city block square in 1 1 s aimeiisions,Qers commodious quarters for the rap- idlyexpandk clerical force of the Fourteenth p)ecennlal Census. It likewise offers excellent facilities for the installation and operation of the many ingenious machines to be used by the Bureau of the Census in tabulating the statistics which will be gathered by the census enumerators during the month of 'January, 1920. ' More than 8,000 packing boxes have already been provided for sending out copies of the census schedules and other supplies to the 85,000 enumerators in the field. The first shipment of schedules is ai ready in progress and the boxes ndw being"sent out will be returned to the Census Bureau as rapidly as possible, thus keeping them in con- stant use. Finally the supervisors and enumerators after the enumeration is completed will use these same States. The dimensions of these boxes being approximately 26 20 x 11 inches, a simple and obvious com putation snows that each box will c:me back, to Washington packed with more than three cubic feet of statistical data.

We have at last after some days of toil, succeeded in getting moved to Webster. It was with much regret, however, that we had to leave the. good people of Cullowhee, they were so good and kind to us. But we know of no reason, whatever, why we should not enjoy living at Web ster. The good people have shown us all the kindness and good will thatheart could wish, and we are Mleffintly loclrteThere; On the evening of October fif teenth, we were very graciously pounded by the good people .of Webster and surrounding commun ity, Baptists, Methodists and Pres- by terians coming together, bringing wun tnem gooa tnmgs, sucn as are useful in a home. Blessings on the good people, and may the blessed Lord help us to be worthy of their love and kindness and repay them in part at least by actual service. May I say further that the Lord has recently very graciously honor ed His work at Cullowhee and Web ster. It has been my pleasure and privilege during the late summer and fall to bury with their Lord in Baptism thirty-four precious souls. Twenty-four at Cullowhee, and ten at Webster. Our new church building at Cul lowhee has gone forward, somewhat, in building here of late, as the sid ing is now nearly all on. We are getting . ready for the Association next year. Brethren, be, sure to come and bring a good delegation. Wexare not definitely certain as yet just what" our apportionment as to the 75 Million Campaign , is, but we shall bythe Lord's help eh- deaYQ to go over the topm some kiad of style on the big day, Nov e ilber 3ist. Brethren, pray for us that we may succeed with the big I task which is before us. - ' John Hoglen, Pastor. h QUICK BRAGS M US Few states have a general agricuk tural industry in better or sounder condition than the Carolinas and Horgia, and few have made better progress m recent years. In these states the people are proud of their comfortable and attractive farm houses, their schools and churches, their growing mileage of good roads. They should not forget, owever, that the good name of the states, as is also the case of Florida, ,will in the future rest on the proper develop ment at economically acceptable prices of the coastal lands some of which are fundamentally excellent and some poor-Herbert Quick, in The Country Gentleman Norman Turpin wascquitted off murHpr i.u a iti-v at SatnrHou of- ternoon, after a trial thaLcicmed0200 tot Odd bo uie oeiier portion oi two aays. lur pin-shot and' killed j his brother-in- law Cbiiley Messer. near Wilmot last August. . ; wiuer cases were cusposea ot as fbilows: Tol Hall C.C.
