Grand Jury Report.
Hon John N. SnndIiu:

To the Hon. John N. Sdndtin:
We, the Grand Jury, empaneled for
this term of your Honorable Court, beg
leave to report as follows:
That we entered upon the discharge OF
the duties imposed upon US with full
knowledge of our responsibility, and
have discharged same with care and
diligence.
We have inquired into all the infrac-
tons of the criminal law brought to our
knowledge, and, after examination OF all
cases presented, we have returned nine
teen true bills, ignored seventeen charges
and two cases remain as unfinished bus
mess, wherein the District Attorney will
file bills of information if the law pro-
vides that he may-having examined a
total of thirty eight cases.
We strongly recommend that the Po-
lice Jury enact the "Blind Tiger" or
Fuililove ordinance, now in force in
Caddo and Webster Parishes as an aid
to the officers and law abiding citizens
in suppressing and breaking up liquor
selling and "blind tigers"
We have examined the Offices OF the
Sheriff and Clerk and the Jail, and find
then in apparently good condition, and
we'll kept.
We extend thanks to Your Honor and
other officers for courtesies shown US
during our labors.
Wherefore, we ask that this, our final
report, be received and that we be dis
charged from further duties at this term
of Court.
Respectfully submitted,
S. w. VANCE,
Foreman Grand Jury.

and further, that your paper will be dis
continued on the last day of this month,
unless you favor the Office with a re-
mittance prior to that time.
7 The Banners subscription terms are
cash in advance, but credit will be read
lily granted when requested. However,
the management of the paper will at all
times live strictly up to the regulations
of the Postoffice Department, one of
which prohibits the use of the mails to
publishers of weekly papers in mailing
publication as second-class matter to
subscribers more than twelve months in
arrears. So it should be plain to you
that we can grant credit on subscriptions
for twelve months only-not one day
longer and still enjoy the use of the
mails in circulating the Banner.

please favor the Office with remittance.
The proprietor has done his part.
