FINAL PRESENTMENT
BY GRAND JURY.

10 the Honorable F. A. whitney:
We the grand jury for the spring
term Of the circuit court OF DeSoto
county, respectfully submit the follow.
ing, as our rnll presentment:
We have carefully inves tigated all
cases brought before our body, and
have returned indictments in all in
which the evidence warranted. 1t is
with qualification that we report that
crime Is apparently decreased to a
minimum in our county. We attrib-
ute this largely to the prosperous con.
ditiun Of our county; and in a meas
nre Ia the efficient work Of the court
officials in the experimenting and
speedy trial Of those violating the
criminal statute.
We desire to express to your honor
our sincere appreciation Of the able
and full charge which you gave.
Through the information, the encour.
agement and deals embraced eherin,
we gained a larger view Of the duty
Of Juror and citizen, and have been
aided by the same in our delibera.
lions.
Our labors. the length OF our ses-
sion, and in consequence a great saw.
ing to the county in the expense Incl
dent to a grand jury session has been
materially lessened by the efficient
and constant assistance of the state
attorney: by the wise and active adj
ministration Of the lower court and
its officials in the disposition Of mi
nor cases. and by the excellent system
inaugurated by our. sheriff for the
presentation II cases and the arrange
ment Of attendance Of witnesses.
Mindful of your honor's suggestion
we have made as thorough investiga-
tion Of the attempted assassination Of
the Rev. J. r. Trice as It was pos
sible for us TO make at this time. The
sheriff. aided by detectives and citi-
zens, have left nothing undone which
would throw light on this case. They
have been diligent in their efforts to
ferret out the guilty party. We have
had before us numerous witnesses and
information gathered by the active
agencies in the investigation and re-
greet that we have not found as yet
sufficient evidence to justify US in a
conclusion as TO the guilty party.
with Your honor and all good citizens,
we deplore the act and condemn the
action.
In our examination of the jail we
have found that there is necessity for
repairs and sanitary equipment. We
recommend that these be done and
installed.
We approve the resolution Of the
commissioners with regard 70 .beauti-

GREETINGS.

We extend 20 the state Medical As
sociation a glad hand Of welcome.
We sincerely hope that the members
Of this association may be made as
happy in this welcome as we are in
receiving you as our guests.
What class OF people have contrib
uted as much towards human com.
fort and happiness as the doctors?
Not one. II would make too long an
article to show this to be true, but that
it Is true beyond the shadow Of a
doubt no we'll informed person can
deny. What professional body Of men
except the doctors do you know who
give their best time, their best talents,
their unceasing labors, in scientific IN
vestigation, not to increase their bust.
ness, but to destroy their businessT
None others.
Yet this very thing is done by the
doctors. The doctors burn the mid.
might oil for the purpose Of knowing
how to prevent diseases. and in thous-
ands Of cases are successful. Yet
when the ravages OF these diseases are
lessened or checked wholly, the call
for the doctor becomes less and less
frequent, and in Numerous instances
he must resort to side lines Of bust
ness in order to give his family COM
Portable support. The doctor, though,
is happy in the thought that he has
made a contribution to science and 10
the greater comfort and happiness Of
human beings, and goes on yet deeper
into other fields Of medical research.
Such unselfshness should be reward.
ed, and. gentlemen. we give you such
as we have, our sincerest and hear.
test welcome. our best wishes and ben.
edictions. May you have a good AMI
a profitable time while in Arcadia.

this connection suggest that the wood
en- wall which surrounds the jail be
removed. and that IL wall be neces'
saIy that il be constructed OF such
character Of fencing as will admit OF

We found the several county Of
ficcs to be in good condition with re-
gard to their administration. 1t IS
difficult for a grand jury TO thor.
oughly Investigate the financial condi-
tion Of the county, and we have taken
the report 4 the state auditor from
which we suggest the financial condi.

In our inspection Of the court house
and the offices therein. we found that
It was advisable to suggest, and we

HAPPINESS ONLY IN SERVICE.

Have you 'ost all hope? Are you
tired Of livingi There is something
radically wrong with the man or wO
man who answers either OF ;hese
questions affirmatively. We never
walk down the streets OF a e0w,led
city and observe the thousands with
strong and active bodies, and then con.
trast these with the not infrequent
sight Of the leaf, the blind, and the
otherwise afflicted that are nearly al
ways seen. but that we are constrnin.
ed to ask the question, what hope
Is there for these last named'" Hut
the joys OF life are not determined by
these external appearances. wha l'v.
ed more happy or a more ojyous life
than did HELEN Keller with all her
Affections? robably the thousands II
beautiful hymns written by Fannie
Crosby would never have gladdencI
the lives OF hundreds Of thousands "
people had she not been blind. What
ever may be your condition In I.np.
whether it ne one Of sickness r.
health. one Of poverty or wealth Il Is
possible for YOU to be happy and con.
tented, but this happiness can be found
only in proportion to your willingness
to live life Of service. Remember.
though. that this same service is nee
esSary for ;he happiness Of the rich
and the otherwise highly favored, as
1t is for You, the poverty stricken ana
afflicted. There has never been; .hcrc
will never he, real happiness found IN
selfish life.
