GRAND JURY REPORT.

STATE OF MISSISSIPPI,
GREENE COUNTY.
To the Hon. w. 81. Hardy, Judge:
We the Grand Jury of Greene Coun-
ty, do respectfully submit this onr
final report:
We have examined II witnesses
and returned 9 true bills.
We have examined the County
Jail and find the old Jail unsafe and
unfit for use. The small or new jail
is too small and inadequate for pres
ent demands, and we respectfully
recommend to the Board of Supervi-
sors that they construct a new and
commodious Jail to meet present de-
mands.
We find the conditions of affairs,
so far as the criminal laws being o.
beyed, to be admirable in our County.
Now having finished our labors
we beg leave to thank your Honor
for the able and brilliant charge Civ
en- us that SO aided us in doing what
we thought to be our duty.
Respectfully Submitted,

One reason why SO many girls and
boys, men and women, too, are un-
interesting, is because they try so
hard to be like somebody else rather
than be- content to remain himself or
herself in life. In nature you don I
see an eak posing as a willow, or a
yellow leg, or a horse as COW, or a
lily as a rose, or lilac as a peony,
or dog as a cat Be natural and
you'll be all right. Many girl with
out the slightest talent for music
is running q piano WHO should be
making bonnets or bread; and many
q boy studying for learned profess
sion whose proper sphere is in the ma
chine shop or the MILL many q man
is splitting up churches who ought
to be doing good service in Some in
stitution of learning, teaching or
working on o farm, and many wom-
is trying in vain to be leader OF So
ciety when she should be model
housewife in her own home.

EDITORIAL

There are some people who really
do not know their own mind, On
the eve of an issue they will talk and
act as if they were going to step out
on the right fearlessly, but when the
pressure is put on right they are
missed from the battlefield. The
lack Of the proper backbone has
ruined the effectiveness of many a
promising character. It's mighty
hard to mingle pity with the con-
tempt naturally engendered for
such squirmer.
