Mogle, of Hamilton, secretary: D. A. Hamilton.assistant secretary: Dr. H. L. McCullough, of Cookport, treasurer; and J. C. Leasure, Dr. McCullough, Linus Lewis and C. B. Blose, executive board. The next matter taken up was that concerning; the proposition made by the Huntingdon & Clearfield Telephone Company to buy the Farmers' lines In the county. The proposition was discussed for some time, the majority of those present seeming to be inclined not to sell. A vote was finally taken and the result was 38 to 17 In favor of rejecting the proposition. For the time being, the Farmers' system will continue to be an independent line. After some discussion on the subject of Improvements and other minor topics the meeting was adjourned. The affairs of the company were found to be In a flourishing condition.

"We thank the Court and district attorney for their courtesy and assistance rendered us during our deliberations."To this presentment Judge Reed attaches the following order: "It is further ordered that a certified copy of the general presentment of the Grand Jury, containing their recommendations an to repairs and Improvements to be made In t:he county buildings, bo placed In the hands of the county commissioners, and the Court urges upon the commissioners the said recommendations be given their Immediate and careful consideration, especially In view of the fact that some of them are only a repetition of what C.rand Jury after Grand Jury have been making to the Court, anil it Is apparent that the matters complained about should be given attention." At the conclusion of their duties in the Court of Quarter Sessions last week the Grand Jury filed the stereotyped recommendations, which however, are to be acted upon according to an order issued by Judge Reed. Following are the recommendations and the Order of the Court: "That we have inspected the Court House, and recommend that the stained glass in the windows of the Grand Jury room be replaced with clear glasss, as there is not sufficient light under present conditions.
