The grand jury of the mid
winter term of circuit court adj
iourned Tuesday morning after
having been in session eight
days The following report was
submit ted to Judge Buckley:
Hon. Jno. L. Buckley. Judge of
the Tenth Judicial District,
State Of Mississippi:
I'VE, the grand jurors, being
duly summoned, empaneled,
sworn and charged to investi-
/ gate all cases to which our at
tentiou is called, do respectfully
submit this, orr report, as fol-
lows:
I'VE have examined eighty
two witnesses, docketed twenty
four cases, and found ten true
bills.
Eve have examined the rec
ords of the various butchers and
found that same are kept accord
ing to law, as regards the marks
and description Of cattle slaugh-
tered.
We find the county Jail in a
clean, well-kept condition, and
all confined therein seem well
cared for. Our attention was
especially attracted to the condi-
ton of one of the inmates of the
Jail, who is small negro boy,
about four or five years old, and
is being kept confined owing to
his physical cordinon. From
the best information thet we
could gather, he is suffering
from some form of paralysis,
which has almost completely
disabled him, and he is in an in
deed pitiable condition, which
we think could be in a way i'm
proved by removing him to the
poor house, and at the same time
relieve tina county of the expense
of taking care of him at the Jail,
where an attendant is necessary,
aside from the actual cost of
boarding him. This unfortunate
is truly an object of charity In
his helpless condition, and we
are informed that it has been an
inmate of the Jail for more than
a year.
From the best knowledge
that we could gather from our
necessarily slight examination of
the books and records of the
county officers, we believe them
to be kept in good, correct and
true condition.
1--WE find the county farm in
good condition, the paupers and
/ prisoners are well taken care of.
we have investigated all mat
ters thoroughly to which our at
tention has been attracted, and
on the whole we are pleased to
state that we have found the
county exceptionally free from
crime and veay few violations OF
the law.
I'VE desire to thank both youi
honor and the district attorney
for the assistance given Us dur,
ing our sitting, and we now re,
spectfully ask to be discharged.

proposition Of the two boards Of trade is
about As substantial as pale mist On

to it but playful dealing in futures,
