REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
To the Hon. j. B. Chrisman, Circuit
Judge in and for Lincoln county, Miss.
Term, 1899:
We, the grand jury impaneled at this
term of Court, beg leave to make this oul
final report. We have been in session
days: we have diligently enquired int
all crimes that have come before us; we
have examined 248 witnesses; we have
returned 60 indictments; we have exam
ined the Sheriff's. Treasurer's and
Clerks books and found them correct;
also examined the Jail and found il
in clearly condition, but recommend
some whitewash on the inside walls.
We have had the work of two grand
jury's to perform, aud necessarily We
have had to present a great many indict-
ments, and some might infer that crime is
on the increase, but we find that it is not
as most of our indictments are for minor
Offenses.
There being no further business before
us, we ask to be discharged.
