there would have been larg. aulience in

about two hundred persons were present,
and Maj IT Babb should regard this as an in :

there was no defamation on the occasion
superior TO that OF Master Tucker his

and he seemed to be in entire sym patlly

Prizes were awarded to Masters Mccain

latter as the most meritorious in conduct
during the session.

Gator to train her boys. The past session
has been a decided success. The discipline

Diseases of choleratic type prevail, or there
is cause to apprehend visit from them,
the system should be toned, regulated and
reinforced by a course of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. Perfect digestion and q regu-
lar habit of body are the best safeguards
against such maladies, and both are secured
by this inestimable tonic and Alternative.
The Bitters are also extremely serviceaDle
in remedying such disorders. If promptly
taken in bilious collie, diarrhHa and choie-
ra morbus, the disease is usually frustrated.
In diarrhoe cases, it is only necessary TO re-
store the tone of the relaxed bowels, and

Report of the Grand Jury.

STATE OF MISSISSIPPI COUNTY OF
KINDS, July, 16 1873.
The Grand Jury of the First District of
Kinds county beg to report:
That they have examined l39 witnesses
aud found AZ indictments, mostly of the
lower grade of offenses, in view of which lact
the jury 6cg leave to congratulate the court
as they believe this TO be one OF the results
OF the firm and impartial administration of
the law the district has enjoyed for the past
TWO years.
The Jury have tried t. inquire faithfully
in the offence to which especial attention
was called by the Court as well as other in
fractions OF the law brought to their notice.
Regarding the Revenue, the Jury regret
their inability to reach cases OF wrongful
assessment tor the reason that the time for
amending asst ssments has not expired, and
the great difficulty IN ellciting iacts regard
ing personal property in cases brought to
their attention. This much is evident,
there are, taking the official reports $4,000,
dollars, of Kinds county and City of Jack
son, bonds in existence, many of which it
is believed are owned in the First District OF
Kinds county, whereas, the total OF assess
ments of county city and State bonds LSVee
Scrip and other securities is only 39I 80
The Jury respectfully commend this
subject to the next Grand Jury, trusting
that meantime many of of the asst ssments
may be amended.
The Jury have examined the Jail, found it
Ill d IdltIy cISillIH COHuIIlOu luc IOOu OF
good quality and sufficient quantity, and
that the prisoners are as kindly treated as
their safe keeping will admit. The Jail is
shamefuIy inadequate to the demands made
upon it being used jointly by the city and
county. In a room 25x27 feet, which
could scarcely contain pure air for ten
pairs of lungs, there are confined from
twenty to forty-tive prisoners The en-
trance is by narrow, steep stairway
through hole in the floor very in
convenient and dangerous for the iailer
The Jury recommend that the Board of
Supervisors shall take measures to enlarge
the accommodation of the Jail either by fur
nishng a watch-house to the city for minor
offenders, so that the entire Jail may be at
the disposal of the county, or by charging
the Jail as it now stands, and that the earth
closet system be adopted and rigidly enfor-
ced by the jailOr.
The Jury believe that if the coupon sys-
tenn OF collecting licences were adopted by
the State for privilege taxes, and the collec-
tor be required to enforce collections, there
would be fewer Offenses and no liability to
clerical error.
The Jury desire to return thanks to the
Sheriff for attentions to the Jury, and
especially to the deputy, MIR. l.. F. Chiles,
for the very prompt and efficient manner he
has discharged his duty while in attendance
on the sessions of the Jury.
The Jury respectfully ask to be discharged.
