tOn To Grafton -

1t is our pleasure to announce
to our readers, and espec-
iallv to Highland soldiers and their
relatives, that it is the intention Of
Rev. W. T. Price of Marinton, Of
whom our older citizens have the
kindest recollection, to publish Il
book entitled, "On to Grafton" be-
ING a transcription Of a diary kcrt
by him while with the Highland
troops in May and June 1881.
O. Wilson Esq. las been earnest
" solicited to contribute to this
work from the diary he kept dur
ing the memorable time.
Mr.. Price requests that those IN
possession Of The information Will
please furnish him with the names
of all Highland soldiers who 81
listed il April and May 1861. This
information will be necessary in
making the book complete, and We
trust our people may be glad to
furnish it, it being an opportunity
to preserve bit Of history OF the
county that is dear to Us all.
The book Will contain about 200
pages and will be sold at one dollar
a copy, and from Highland Mr..
Price would appreciate one hua
dred subscribers. We would
think it would be Necessary for
him to sell at least that number in
the county in order to get out at
all on the venture, and we believe
we should stand by him and see
that we come ny fully to his very
modest expectations Of rs
We would be highly gratiiied to
see Mr Wilson and others who can,
take an interest in THIS work and
help it along.
In his letter to us on the subject
Brother Price speaks in such Il
beautiful manner Of dir. Wilson,
Judge Myers, Capt. Matheny ana
others. 1t shows that though lie
has been separated from this peo-
pie number Of years, yet in his
heaIt there yet remain for them
fond and pleasant recoiiections.
The names referred to should be
turned oyer to Q. Wilson in time
TO reach MIR. Price by May l>t.

 The grand jury in body, visited the county iail and found that the improvements made have added to the safety as we'll as to the maintaining of good sanitary conditions The prisoners all ex pressed themselves as being we'll treated and well enough fed
 committee from the grand jury, appointed to investigate the county poor farm, reports that there were inmates, females and males All indicated that they were being taken care of as well as conditions would allow, and that MT Grant and his family took especial care to make the inmates as comfortable as possible. The committee also reported that they found the | house in very bad repair The house in which MT. Grant lives needs repairing very badly, the 1 weatherboarding is all rotten, and needs paint | ing very badly, and the pauper house is i'll a very bad condition-new blocks are needed, the ceiling is falling down and the windows doors and floors are in very bad repair. The jury ! would recommend that these repairs be attended to at once; while the appropriation has been | made for these repairs, nothing has been ac' complished under it. The jury would also l recommend that if the property is not insured that it be insured for nominal sum at least l ~ complain of the action of the Hon. Prosecuting Attorney, who covert1y, if not overtly, imputes misconduct ill finding an indictment for mur der ill the second degree against one of the 1 prisoners ill the jail of the county, instead oi l an indictment for murder in the first degree
 The basis of our complaint is contained in a mo ton to suspend proceedings in said indictment l and consists of the following language: | >1,o++ i,,@x ,harS
 while the said charge has been pending before 1 them have been counselled as to the facts anc
 law of said case, by the friends counsel of ac
 cused and outside of the grand jury room.
 That while said charge has been pen ling be fore said grand jury, said body procured the 56tl
 Ark Reports and examined the case of Simpson vs the State erroneously making their ow1
 interpretation of the law applicable to the ev idence, instead of taking the law from the court under the courts direction as provided by Sec tion 2057 of S. & H. Digest"
 The jury jointly and severa1ly deny that an, action of theirs or the friends or counsel o Johnson warrant the allegations made, ant strongly protest against the implied itnputation
 upon their characters as grand jurors of tn county, and honestly court inquiry into thei conduct as such jurors.
 The jury does not consider it within thei province to furnish any argument to sustain their actions, but willingly leaves the matter t
 the judgment of your Honor and the people c
 Jackson County.
 In conclusion the jury desires to express thei thanks for the kind consideration and indu gence extended by the court, and the energeti and efficient aid rendered by the officials, on
 and all

GRAND JURY REPORT.

TO His Honor F. D. Fulkerson, Judge of the
 Jackson County Circuit Court, July Term, 1902:
 We, the Grand Jury beg to submit the fol- lowing a brief report of our actions as grand jury for the July term 1902
 Being dulyiempaneled, we perfected or ganizaton by the selection of J. G. Walker as clerk, and entered upon duties by inves- tigating all cases that came before
 First, cases where accused were in jail; next those that were under bond, and then such cases as came before us exercising care and celerity l to the best of abilities, to investigate all charges for felonies and misdemeanors, by ex- | amining IS summoned witnesses, (not one of l whom was entitled to than one days at tendance,) and a number of witnesses who ap- l peared voluntarily before the jury. Some of 1 them gave evidence that satisfied the jury | that violations of the law probable, others only succeeded in convincing | the jury that they desired their help to vent petty spite, and the jury took such action as was in consonance with the instructions of the court, and their understanding of the law.
 | Your jury found IA indictments for felony, and 23 indictments for misdemeanors of various kinds, those for the illegal sale of whisky pre- dominating The jury. did not consider it good policy to pursue the illegal sale of whisky to
 such an extent to entail excessive cost on
 the county, nor to heap indictments to degree
 that would create public sympathy for the
 offenders.
 Your jury is forced to admit that the accounts
 of various public officers have not been ex-
 amined, for the reason that the commissioners
 of accounts had not completed their report The jury having completed their labors, deem it best
 not to wait for the completion of this report | The jury have made inquiries as to the con-
 dtion of the public roads, and regret to say that
 many of the roads not classed as first class roads are not maintained ill good condition because
 road overseers claim that work should be
 done i'll their respective districts, except upon
 those of the hrst-class, and that they were not liable to indictment for the failure to keep all
 public roads at least passable Tn view of the
 misunderstanding of the law, the jury have not felt justified to bring any indictments at the present term, but made mention only to ad monish overseers that the law does not absolvt

BOY DROWNED AT JUDSONIA.

Last Wednesday afternoon Clayton Franks, the 13-year- old son of Adam Franks, who lives on the Conley farm about three miles down the river from Judsonia, saw a white crane alight just across the river from his home, and he got his fathers gun and started across the river to kill it. He had never shot gun before and when he fired, the gun kicked him out of the boat, stunning him so that he made no effort to save himself The river was dragged and dynamited, and divers went down to recover the body, but all to no use. The body was found about 10 o'clock Friday morning by Andy Cole (col.) lodged on the Best shoals, about one mile below where the boy was drowned The undercurrent took the body down stream; on top there was no current at all.
 Coroner Theo. Mover held an in quest over the body and gave the verdict that he came to his death by accidental owning.-Judsonia Ad- vance.

HEALTH RESORTS
 AND ATTRACTIONS

There is no region in America richer in mineral springs than Colo rado, while throughout the state there are pleasure resorts and splendid places of attraction of various kinds in great numbers. It has been truly said that all of Colorado is health re- sort, and this statement is sustained by the most eminent physicians of the country. What with it's beautiful cities on the plains, it's gorgeous mountain peaks and lovely valleys, it's awful canons and their rushing torrents, it's forests and streams, it's broad green parks and charming crys- tai lakes among the mountains, what more could nature provide or man de- sire for his welfare or his delights. Not only the health giving mineral and thermal springs which gush spon- taneously from the mountain sides invite the invalid and the weary, but in all the rest of these charms of na- ture is found panacea for the ills and cares of body and mind diseased.
 To enable persons to reach these health resorts and attractions, the Union Pacific has made a rate of One Fare for the Round Trip, plus S2.OO from Missouri River to Denver, Colo rado Springs, Pueblo, and Glenwood Springs, in effect June 26 to 30 in- elusive, July IA to 31, August 15 to 22, 25 to 29 and September il to 15.
