LIST OF JURYMEN GIVEN

hundreds OF clJlZenS from
over the county were present at
the court house Monday morning
when the first term of circuit
court to be held in this city
since last January convened.
The recently appointed judge,
Thomas B. Carroll of Starkville,
and district attorney, Hardin H.
Brooks, Jr., of Macon, are pre-
siding.
The selection of the grand
jury was the first thing to take
place Monday, after which one
of the strongest charges that has
ever been made to a grand jury
in Lowndes county was deliver
ed by Judge Carroll. The entire
criminal statute of our state was
dwelt upon briefly but forcibly
by the Judge. He impressed the
duties devolving upon the jury
and the manner and way by
which they could obtain evidence
to indict the lawless. He DEM
onstrated to the legal profession
as we'll as to the citizens of this
county that he is an able and
conscientious jurist. and des-
patched the business before the
court with rapidity. The people
who heard his charge are well
pleased and expect of him to
suppress crime and keep up the
good work, which has formerly
been done so we'll by Hon. John
L. Buckley. Judge of the tenth
judicial district.
Hon. Brooks, the district at
torney is recognized by the mem
bers of the bar from whence he
came, Macon, his home, as well
as throughout the circuit court
district of the state, as being an
able prosecutor, an eloquent and
fluent speaker, and will no doubt
convince a jury of his country
men that the defendants arraign-
ed for trial is guilty of the
charges preferred against them,
and the criminals of this district
when brought to trial will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent
of the law.
