Fall Term 1908

To the Honorable W S BullockJudge Presiding The grand juryfor Marion county respectfully sub-mits

¬

to your honor this their final I1JI < entment-

In the discharge of our duties we jhave endeavored to weigh all the evi idence presented to us carefully and jIhave presented to your honor suchviolations of law as seemed to usclear

JusticesThe grand jury and state attorney

have been greatly hampered in theirlabor because of the failure of jus-tices

¬

of the peace to bind over wit ¬nesses and send in the papers ofcauses committed to the action of thegrand jury We must also criticizethose acting in the capacity of coron-er

¬

in failing to thoroughly investigate-causes and bind over witnesses Alsowe call the attention of the Justices-of the peace to the fact that underthey law they are compelled to giveeach witness bound over to the grandjury a memorandum giving the dateof the next meeting of the grand juryJR addition we recommend that eachJustice of the peace send in with theaffidavit and other papers a list °fthose witnesses to whom this memoi nda has been given

LicensesWe have received from the county

judge a list of merchants professional-men and others from whom an occu ¬pation tax is exacted This tax is insome cases based on the amount ofstock carried Evidently the estimate-of value of stock is very faulty andwe recommend that at the next ses ¬sion of the legislature this law be soamended as to be enforced withgreater justice and accuracy

OfficesWe find that the offices and witness

rooms in the coup house all well keptlighted and heated but the toilet roomin the basement is in bad condition-The plumbing is defective floor wetand no light except a lantern

r r NuisancesComplaint has been made that in

Ocala therfej ISt located In close prox-imity

¬

to two fcolored schools a nuis-ance

¬

In the form of several houses ofill fanie We recommend that as thisnuisance is within the corporate lim-its

¬

of Ocala that the board of alder ¬men of that city take immediate steps-to abolish it

Jail1

As to the condition of the jail and-s surroundings we beg to make the

following report and recommenda-tions

¬

First we find the jail very orderlyand neatly kept and everything thatcan be done under the circumstances-is being done by the jailor to makethe prisoners comfortable We believethe jail is quite inadequate for ourpresent day needs and accommoda ¬tions and would recommend that thecounty commissioners take steps asearly as practicable to remodel andrepair the jail so that the white andcolored prisoners may be kept inseparate apartments

Second we find a very unsafe anddefective condition in ttf6 corridor atthe north end of the first floor towit The steel ceiling has rusted outso that JCseemsfto us to be absolutelyunsafe and insecure We find that hocells reserve for fejnales are not sup-plied

¬

with U + convtuienees which wedeem to be absolutely necessary Inthe first place Jlheje is no bath tubfor their use This we believe to be-a gross neglect of one of the absolutenecessities Furtllejr we note thatthere i fnata single chair of any kind-n eith o these cells The only con

tiieniiGafVr sitting being a smallrivoodenboX We believe that everycell reserved for female prisonersshould be supplied with a reasonablycomfortable chair

We believe that the whole sewersystem of the jail should be over ¬hauled and the drainage pipes be un-der

¬

ground where they would be lessliable to breakage We also recom-mend

¬

that the county commissionerscooperate with the city council ofOcala and take immediate action to ¬wards having the street which runsfrom North Magnolia street on theKendrick hard road paved In theexamination of the jail we also notethat there is no store room in which-to store the jail supplies but they arekept in the kitchen and in an old va-cated

¬

cell This matter should receivethe attention of the county commis-sioners

¬

Hard RoadsWe believe that in justice to the

people of Anthony and vicinity thatthe board of county commissionersshould without delay complete thehard road to Anthony and extend itif possible and put in good repair theseven miles of road already construct-ed

¬

We also recommend that the oth ¬er hard and ordinary roads be kept inbitter repair

I Poor FarmInasmuch as the present poor farm

appears to be more valuable for itsMineral than for agricultural pur ¬poses we recommend that it be soldind a new and more fertile locatione purchased IWe wish to extend to the officers of

his court our sincere thanks for theKtany courtesies extended to us duringthis term Having completed our la ¬bors we respectfully ask that we bedischarged

JUDGE BULLOCKS ADDRESS-

The blowing eloquent address wasdelivered by Judos W S Bullock on Ithe presentation of the loving cup toMrs Fannie R Gary yesterday

Is this a dream as I listen to theclatter of the hoofs rumbling noise of

Ithe wheels on the paved streets andhear those familiar names of the days Igone by and I look down the vista oftime ten twenty thirty forty years joh a half century ago with magic

Ipower it takes me back to childhoodshours when with bare feet and tous-led

¬

hair with boyish fun I tumbledand rolled in the deep sand bedaround the public square of the oldlcourt house in Ocala

Truly my friends it seems adream I can scarcely realize thestern reality of truth There arethings that we feel that we cannotexpress and as I stand before youon this delightful occasion when ev ¬ery word thought act and deed isfilled with inexpressible gratitude toGod for such manifestation of hisinestimable love toward us I amovercome I am filled with such emo ¬tion that I cannot find words the or ¬dinary and common vehicle ofthought to speak to you I knowthat I shall be unable to convey toyou the most infinitessimal concep ¬tion ofhow all of this ceremony hasimpressed me Oh what recollec ¬tions what reminiscences sweet andbitter in panoramic form passes be ¬fore me on this occasion The sweetmemories of childhood the green pas-ture

¬

to life The old circle of friendsand families their life and death Thepassing away of the old conditions aswe watch the unfolding of the newThe ebb in the tide of life runs onand on Life and death What atheme for contemplation

To many of you my friends this isbut a ceremony You but honor aworthy president With me it is dif ¬ferent To me it is a Volume a bookwith many pages an unwritten his-tory

¬

To me it is a mirror reflectingthe images of those who have goneon and passed over the hill of lifeand out of sight but whose memories-I cherish in fondest recollection Bythe side of some of these we havewalked and listened to their counselSome of their voices have been hush ¬ed in death To some of them we arelistening still They are still climb ¬ing moving on and on and at the lhead of the same procession tread ¬ing in the same paths of life toiling

I in the same vineyard waving thesame banner that they have proudlyborne for fifty years

Comrades friends Daughters of theConfederacy those names spoken inmy hearing with magic power takeme back to childhoods hour Where-are those familiar faces and voices ofmy childhood days the voice of Badg-er

God bless those who are with usI still and we will honor ourselves withstrewing the end of their path of lifewith roses of sweet perfumeofh-onor love and respect

This occasion is not only one topay a tribute of respect to thosenoble patriots whd bore the musketsand wore the uniforms but emphat-ically

¬

to honor that noble patriotwho stands at the head of the column-of patriots and to take part in theseexercises testifying our love affectionand esteem of the matchless charac-ter

I of Frances Rosa GaryI Talk about patriotism my friends-it was the noble pure women of our

triots There was no beat of the Jdrum nor rattle of the musketry nnwhoop of the comrade to cheer thepatriot women as they stood at the 1gate for the last farewell to husband-and son as they marched from homefor the last time But amidst thestern realities of truth the lonelinessof home when the shadow of the Ievening was come when the songbird had ceased its music when afaint flicker of a house made candleburned dimly in the cornet or per ¬chance a few burning embers fromthe old tire place reffected a shadowy-ray across the bare coarse floorthere were prattling innocent sweetfaced babies gathered around herknee They could with sincerity truthand resignation say Father thy wilbe dust This is patriotism secondonly to the patriotism of the Princeof Peace whose pure life was poured

eight years old I saw this same noolepatriot woman we honor today then31 years of age a sweet young womanthen in the beauty prime and vigorof womanhood with that Christianfortitude that has characterized herlife invoke Gods blessing upon herhusband as she sacrificed his com-panionship
