matron is weary Of the 'gentlewom-

and the family, as we'll, and is not
nearly so competent as the servant
girl, who is vexing, but who knows

TO Hon. }. r. Byrd Judge
of the Sth Judicial Dist.
We the Grand Jurors of
the afore said term beg to
submit the following report.
We have examined Two
hundred and Forty two wit
nesses and found Thirty two
true bills.
We have made u close ex-
animation Of the County
Jail, the poar house and
County officers books. and
find all we'll kept so far as
we could learn.
We the Grand Jury would
insist that The Hon. Board
OF Supervisors of Neshoba
county see that the public
roads OF Ntshoba County be
worked according to Specifi-
cations and contracts and
that contracts not be paid
until work on roads is brou-
ght up to the contract, and
that The Hon. Court at his
next term give u special
charge in reference to roads
bridges and contra:ts;. also
IL special charge be given to
contractors in reference to
holes ON sides OF roads made
fer purpos e OF seclneing dirt
to cover callsWay, we recO-
mend that they be filled as
they are dangerous.
After IL very careful exam
ination we find that The
Blind Tiger is the cause of
most OF the crimes commit
ted in our County. Therefore
we ask the people of the coun
ty to assist The Court III
enforcing the law in such a
manner that "blind tigers"
could not do business in our
county, us we feel that it is
doing IL great harm and ruin
ing the youths of our coun-
TRY, who must soon take
charge of our government.
We wish to thank the
Court and District Attorney
for his able council and
courtesy shown us during
this term Of court.
Now having completed our
work we ask to be discharg-
ed,
