Whereas, VIM. II. Taft, president of

Some Strange Birds.

Mr.. ]. M. Bissett one day last
week found drove of y wild
fowl in his bottom field on Little
Cripple Deer. He got his trusty
shotgun and shot two, but only
secured one, the other flying away
and dropping to the ground but
could not be found. He examined
the bird he killed, the like of
which was never seen in these
parts before, and reports the fol-
lowing descriptions > feet from
tip to tip of wing; bill 9 inches
long; legs : feet long; wing and
tail black, the latter 5inches long;
balance of body white. After a
careful examination of this out
line we pronounce the bird he
ron, a species Of crane that in
habits the marshy shores of the
Gulf of Mexico and other salt wat
er seas. After being fired at the
balence of the birds circled away
to the southeast probably going
to the Florida coast.

Selecting Good Men For Jurors.

Judge Buckley made the follow
ing remarks during his charge to
the grand jury at Meridian last
week;
Since | have been on the bench
| have largely solved the question
of why the criminal law cannot be
enforced. The key to the deplora-
BILE situation is held steadfast by
the Boards of Supervisors.
This is the most important
county office within the gift of the
people of this State, They have
the control of the finances of the
county; they are in a position to
see to the enforcement or nouen-
forcement of the criminal statutes
in Mississippi; they select the jul
ries who sit and try criminals.
If they will put the names of the
very best men in the jury box,
the courts will certainly get re-
suits in Mississippi. This is not
done in some counties, for the
reason that they eliminate compe-
tent men and put the names of
men in the jury box who seek to
get on juries for the sole purpose
of drawing 50 per day, or to be in
a position to sympathize with and
acquit lawbreakers. Ii the super
visors will follow the law as writ
ten and turn down those who seek
the place, Mississippi would SOM
witness a gratifying change for
the betterment of society,
The law requires the supervis-
ors to select only qualified men of
good intelligence, sound judge
ment and fair character.
When the law is not followed
justice is defeated the country
run a. great expense, and the
court censured, all of which could
be studiously avoided, if the SUI
pervisors would honestly and CON
scientiously do their full duty in
this behalf
AS a general thing the best
men seek to avoid jury service,
and hence the supervisors are ro-
luctant to put their names in the
jury box on that account.
II have given notice through
out my district that if the super
visors will select such men as the
law directs, | will see that they do
jury duty"
