tends to establish the guilt or in
nocence of the accused. After you
have heard the evidence with re-
spect to any charge, you should
then proceed to deliberate among
yourselves as to whether or not
the evidence is sufficient to juSti-
fly the finding of an indictment and
bringing the accused to trial.
1t is necessary that at least
twelve of your members vote in
favor of finding an indictment. An
affirmative vote of a mere MAORI
ty of your members present will
not be sufficient to sustain a valid
indictment. unless such affirmative
vote consists of at least twelve
members of the jury
While testimony is being pro-
duced before you, the only persons
allowed in the Grand Jury Room
besides members of your own
body are the States Attorney and
the witness testifying before you.
After you have heard the testimony
in connection with a charge and
you are prepared to deliberate on
the matter, no one except the MEM
bers of your body is allowed to be
present
You are charged that your pro-
ceedings are to be absolutely secret
pending the return of an indict-
ment Even after the return of an
indictment, you should not disclose
in hn ~ ~ ne do
alterations or how you voted with
respect to any indictment In fact,
nothing should be disclosed as to
your proceedings unless you are
summoned and directed by the
Court to make any such disclosures
II is customary for the Grand
Jury to inspect the Court House,
Jail. Sheriff's residence and the
offices of the various County of
ficials and to report on the condi-
tons you find and make such
recommendation as seem to you
to be proper. II is the duty and
responsibility of the County Com
miSsioners of the County to see
that all public buildings owned by
the County are properly main
tanned and cared for. You should
have before you a copy of the re-
port of the March Term Grand
Jury SO that you can review its
recommendation and make in
quiry as to whether or not they
have been complied with.
II is to the public interest that
you perform your duties as ex-
peditiously as possible, but you
should not sacrifice thoroughness
for the sake of early adjournment.
You gentlemen have been Sc
lccted to serve in this capacity be-
cause of your reputation in this
Community as being outstanding
citizens and | am confident that
you will perform your duties in
such manner as to reflect credit
on your County and State.
Upon retiring to the Grand Jury
Room, you will organize by APP
pointing two of your members to

Keithtown A Quiet Settlement Of Peace And
Contentment For A Young Lad On A June Day
BY Wes Marshall

AS Noble Road Z wanders into
the picturesque, southwestern
portion of the county, it assumes
the atmosphere of rest and re-
taxation on a summer day.
The thin path of civilization
winds rather roughly through the
hills and valleys of beautiful
county. And in the midst of this
Gods country nestleS the small,
quiet village of KeithtoWn.
The little community has been
forgotten in some ways, but in
others perhaps it shall linger for
many generations. Here on a
quiet June afternoon, may be
found vivid memories of the past.
Older generations may sit in the
solitude of a huge oak and trans
plant their thoughts to the antics
of a young boy.
In a white frame house on the
eastern edge of the settlement,
lives just such an individual. Mr..
and Mrs. Vernon R. Hughes
occupy the home and their son,
Larry. has become the official
guide and unofficial his
torian.
In many ways modern clVlllZa-
ton has affected the life of the
eight or nine families in the
village. Television has become
the principal means of evening
entertainment. An occasional
automobile spreads dust over the
soft grass, and the country store
isn't what it used to be-
There are no theatres. drug
stores or swimming pools, but
there is the wonderfully pleas
ant pastime of just being in
Gods country. And for a little
boy in the ninth grade in school,
the world of hills and valleys,
gardens and streams and the old
country store IS a fascinating
environment
You can picture Larry as he
rides his bike to the little store
in the center of the village.
There, on the front porch, is a
bamboo pole complete with line
and sinker, lust ready for a trip
to the run. Perhaps there aren't
many fish in the stream. but
the shade is cool and the water
refreshing. And above all il
gives fellow a chance to think
about school. dogs. the old
saWmill, d Barlow knife. or
maybe even a girl.
Larry let his pole bobble in
the current, propped his head
on his hand and Spoutcd forth
with pine-size history Of the
community.
KeithtoWn had been there
quite some time he guessed.
There used TO be d SaWmlll, a
wagon factory and lodge hall.
Now there is a grange hall. the
