To Hon. J.. H. Mitchell, Judge Of the
First Circuit District of Mississippi.
We, your grand jury for the
November term of court for Lee

been able to ascertain, correctly.

good condition and the prisoners
say that they get plenty to eat.
for which we commend the jail
err, Mr.. H. w. Parham. We have
inspected the poor house and find
same in good condition and the
inmates well cared for. The PEN
sion roll has been examined, and
while there may be some getting
pensions contrary to the pension
law, yet we find all on roll are
deserving subjects. We have
examined the overseers' reports
and find that some of the over.
seers have failed to properly dis
charge their duties and would re-.
commend that each supervisor 90
in person and take with him each
overseer and point out the work
necessary to be done.
All district officers have been
before us and we believe that if
they would use more vlgilence
that crime would decrease.
We desire to thank your Hon

given us at the beginning of our
labors. We also desire to thank
the district attorney and his as
sistant for the able assistance
rendered US. also the sheriff and
his deputies for prompt service

hands We find that our sheriff

ties at all times. for which we
commend him.
Having fully reported, we now
ask to be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
Robt. Gambrell,
