A JURY REpoRT.

To the Hon. J. b. Boothe, Judge Of
the Circuit Court Of Lafayette
County, State of Mississippi.
Sir:-We, tie Grand Jury. sworn in
by yourself on the first day of this, the
March term of said court, beg leave
to submit the following report:
We have examined 1872 witnesses
and returned IS true bills.
We have examined the Jail and
found it kept clean and nice, and the
prisoners appear - b. in good health
and cheerful. We commended the
lailor for his attention To duty and APP
parent kindness TO the prisoners.
W inspected thc county poor house
through a committee, aud tneN report
everything i'll good order, and the in
mates well cared for.
We have had committees TO examine
and compare the Sherif's AMI Treas
urer's books and ina them correct,
but desire To say that the time that
we had at our disposal for the exami-
nation of these books was so short We
! could not make a thorough ex nina
ton, but SO iar as we couli go
found them satisfactory, and We com
mend these officials for their efficiency
and attention to duty.
We have given some little attention
to the Assessors books and while We
dad that he has done as well and il
the usual manner OF his predecessor
though much better. We lind that tn,
law is not being complied with ii
many instances in administering tn,
oath 10 persons rendering the.l
property 10 him.
We do not mention this in an il.
yidious spirit, il u - a warning tia
the next Grand Jury ma not ALLOW
long presidents to prevent them from
returning true bills aga.n7t him 10.
this neglect of pitin duty. We deem
il our duty to mention the fagran'
inequality in value OF property a!
given TO the assessor. There arc /;
few nen ia the county who give theI
property at "a reasonable valuation
There are many who give Il cir prop
erty in ii ha I ard less.
Many Others who 20 SO low that
is hard 10 estimate The relation tina
the AMOUNT given bears to the rea
value of the property rendered.
Mules given AT $1,000 per head tina
will readily sell for from $50 to Si2j
1-tIGS tnAL tOIlIHLIu iTOni -lV 10 -
per acre rendered. some even as loy
as Sl-00 per acre and other propert,
1T like rates
In connection with our examination
of the Assessors books we found tina
some members of the Board OF Super
visors have m earnest effort TO equal
ize the assessments in their Beats
while others who represent Beat
whose assessments was not renderel
as high as the mes raised, we're M
raised at all. We think that officer
who do their duty Should be com
mended, while those who tail to do s
should be condemned.

soupcon de pluie ct Fair s'est maintenu
