Announcement Made
By County Attorney
Statement Of Economy
In Court Operation
Is Cited Today

Pat Barrett, Lexington attorney,
announced last week his candidacy for
reelection to the office of prosecuting
attorney for Holnes county, and to-
day we are glad to give to our
readers his formal statement:
To The People OF Holmes County:
/ hereby announce my candidacy
for reelection to the office of Pre-
scouting Attorney for Holmes County,
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic Partyain the August Primaries
In serving as your County Attor-
ney, one of my principal objects has
been to help make the operation of
our Criminal Courts as inexpensive
as possible to the taxpayers, TIC
accomplish this, / attend preliminary
hearings throughout the County in
the Justice of the Peace Courts, SO
when Circuit Court convenes and
the Grand jury is organized, witnesses
to appear before than body have al
ready been summoned and are ready
to appear and give their testimony.
Also 1 have tried TO have all cases
worked up and ready for trial with
all necessary, but no unnecessary,
witnesses summoned, SO that the
Court is not unduly delayed while
the District Attorney is investigating
cromes raonths after they have hap
pened. Reducing the number of un-
necessary witnesses and having cases
ready for trial without delay has
saved much of the cost of operating
our Criminal Courts.
With reference to the actual prose-
cution of cases, both in the Justice
of the Peace Courts and Circuit
Court. it has been, and shall be, my
endeavor to assist in the attainment
of justice rather than in building
up an impressive record of "convic-
tions"
Should you again honor me by
reelection, I shall continue my eff
forts toward assisting in the eco
nomical and efficient administration
of our Criminal Courts, and in per-
forming all other duties of this Of
flee to the best of my ability.
Sincerely,
PAT NJ BARRETT.

Eyes
BY
Hazel Branh

Durant is the only town in Missis-
sippi that does not publish the pro-
ceedngs of the meetings of the town
council where there is one or more
newspapers located within the iowa
The writer has frequently been
questioned by numerous citizens as
to why the Durant Board does not
publish its proceedings.
Our only answer has been to date,
"we do not know. But we will go
before the Board sometime and ask
them to publish the proceedings
SO at the next Board meeting al
which there Is q full attendance, we
are going to ask the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen to publish the
proceedings.
We know the proceedings will be
of great interest to every man and
woman in Durant and that there are
only a few people in Durant who
would not like to see the proceed
ings published.
The only possible objection Shas
could be raised would be the item OF
expense of publication. which Is GER
tainly negligible compared to the
service II renders the citizens and
taxpayers. The amount charged in
fact, depends entirely on space con-
sumed which is as II should be.
1t might be of interest to officials
and to taxpayers TO let them know
that proceedings in a neighborina
city amounted in the last six months
to $41.30 which is a little less than
81 per month.
If the Mayor and Board Of Alder
men will measure all the free space
this newspaper has given them and
will continue to give them for many
more moons the question of cos
won't even have any consideration
The notice is given so that mem
bers of the Board can have time to
think the matter over carefully be-
fore the next meeting and prepare
to vote on it; so that the people in
Durant will be giving thought to the
same question and interested in how
1t will be handled
We, along with substantial mum
BIER OF Durant citizens, feel that
there shouldn't even be any question
as to whether or not city officials
should publish their proceedings.

any public office before, but due to
the conditions prevailing, l feel we
need some business men to repre-
sent us in our lower House. Having
peen in business for the past fifteen
years, of which time the last ten
years have been spent as mer-

in the town of Tchula. / feel that
with the experience gained, through
these years of dealing with my fell
low citizens and customers and know
ing their problems, that / ara quail
flied to represent you in the Lower
House of Representatives for the
next four years.
My platform is strictly business
one dealing mostly with the ques-
tons that concern us most - and
that is the question of taxation. A
we have so many forms of taxation
and overburdened with so many ex-
cess taxes. feel we must have some
kind of relief.
With the thought of putting more

fit to elect me as your Represents
