IS True Bills Found
By Grand Jury

To the Honorable Arthur Jordan.
Judge Of the Fourth judicial Dist.
We. your Grand Jury, duly en-
panelled, sworn and charged at
and for the October 1850 Term OF
the Circuit Court of Holmes Coun-
ty, Mississippi, beg leave to SUBJ
NIT this our report of the acts and
proceedings had by and before our
said body at said term. We have
made the various inspections out
lined to us by your Honor, and on
our investigation of the County
Jail, the County Farm, and the
County Poor House, we found
each competently run and in salts
factory condition generally. Our
necessarily superficial examina-
ton of the books of the county
offices indicated them to be prop
erly kept and up to date.
We have been in session two
days, and from our examinations
of witnesses and deliberations
have found 3 mo Bills" and Is
"True Bills" which said true
bills we herewith submit to your
Honor in open Court concurrently
with this report.
AS respects law enforcement
conditions in Holmes county, we
find that there are regrettable sit
uations with regard to whiskey
selling and connected illegal act
ivities. However, we feel that the
Sheriff is doing the best he can
with the limited funds and per-
5onnel That he has; and that the
most practical solution is to pro-
vide the Sheriff with the addi-
tional means and deputies that are
required for widespread patrol
and investigation work. There
fore, your Grand Jury recommends
that steps be taken with a view
to having the Legislature author
ize Holmes County to expend
whatever money is reasonably
needed to provide the Sheriff with
such personnel and facilities.
And now having reported our
action proceedings, we beg leave
to be discharged, subject of course
to recall when and if ordered by
your Honor during this term.
Respectfully submitted:

and you r also making a con-
tribution toward making Lexing-
ton the largest and most popular
community in the county.
Over a period of years the peo-
pie of this area have come to de-
pend upon the services and items
offered them weekly in the col
umns of The Advertiser. They
know if they buy their goods and
services here they are dealing
with firms which stand behind
the products they are selling
business firms that are selling not
only merchandise but service.
So, if our readers appreciate the
paper as you so frequently say, we
would be much obliged if you'd
express it by trading with our
advertisers as much as possible
and always tell them, of course,
you say their adj in 'The Adver-
tiser."
