Blue Hens Deep
In All Positions,
Expect Good Year

Football opponents of the Un-
iversity of Delaware can expect
some trying moments from
Coach Dave Nelson's Fighting
Blue Hens this year no matter
what the final score may be.
Blessed with the largest and
deepest line strength since his
arrival in Newark nine seasons
ago, Nelson, the undisputed
master of the Wing-T, will start
a letterman at every position
and starters from last season in
at least seven.
No lineman among the start
ers tips the beam at less than
200 pounds. Headed by center
and captain Mark Hurm, a home
town lad who stands 81 and
weighs 220, the group includes
ends Mickey Heinecken (6-2h,
2l4) and Dick Broadbent (6-2R,
212); tackles John Mordas (6-1,
2l8) and Ray Klapinsky (6-1,
220); guards Leon Dombrowski
go, 2OO) and Otto Fad go,
235).
In the backfeld the obvious
starters will be senior quarter
back Gampy Pellegrini, fullback
John Bowman and halfbacks
Jack Turner and Tony Sura-
witch.
Turner, the leading ground
gamer in Delaware's 67-season
football history, was nineteenth
in the nation last year among
small college halfbacks with 874
yards in l74 carries. Suravitch,
who played most of the season
at fullback, was the squads
leading scorer with 48 points on
seven touchdowns and three ex-
tra-point plays.
Delaware opens the season
with arch-rival Lehigh at Della
ware Stadium on Sept. 26 in
Newark.
During the regular season
Delaware will meet five Middle
Atlantic Conference opponents
-Lehigh, Lafayette, Rutgers,
Temple and Bucknell-and four
nOn-league rivals, Bowling
Green University and Marshall
College from the Mid-American
Conference and Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire from New
England's Yankee Conference.
Nelson's record at Delaware
is a sparkling 46-2Q-l and he has
never suffered a losing season
as head man in the Hen house.
It's not likely that he'll deviate
from this pattern of success in
1859.

Eagles Backs Polishing Attack
With Opener Only A Week Away

Smyrna Highs football elev-
en- will put the polishing touch
es on its attack next week in
preparation for Fridays meet
ing with Middletown. Kickoff
for the contest, season opener
for both squads, is slated for
8 pm. on the local gridiron.
Head mentor Bill Horney has
set a swift pace for his gridders
since practice was initiated in
late August. During the inter-
vening time he has put his
charges through a rugged sched-
ule of conditioning and football
fundamentals. Offensive and de-
fensive assignments will be re-
viewed during the early part of

cided until game time.
Eagle backs have been run
ming quite well in practice drills,
and it appears that Horney has
again jelled a solid offensive
unit. Wayne Cole and Bob Boy

slots, with Clark Ross running

Secondly, since the d'c~c4~o,s
crop year of 1857, many people
have not been able to pay all of
their obligations, and most of the
suits filed since that time have
been for debt.
To publish the names of people
who are sued is embrassing not
only to them, but especially to their
wives and children.
With the exception of those re-
cords which the law has declared
to be secret, the records of my Of

ket, which includes all cases are

to embarrassment, through pub
lication in the newspapers, the
names of the people who have been

mean that the docket will not be

Holmes County To
A Coroner

For the first time in history,
Holmes County will have a coroner
and ranger, come November and
the General Election.
This week James A. White, an
attorney of Durant, filed a petition
With the Holmes County Demo-
cratic Election Committee for per-
mission to have his name placed
on the General Election ticket,
seeking election to this office, on
November 5.
For some reason, Holmes County
has never had a Coroner and Rang
er. Consequently, no one has ever
run for the office.
Duties of a coroner, including
holdining inquests in deaths, when
requested, or in deaths in prison
and of all violent and sudden
deaths, within his county. He is
directed to report his findings to

I'm a front page article in her
paper of October LIST. the Editor
of the Lexington advertiser has
criticized me for not turning over
to her for publication the trial
docket of civil cases for the October
Term of Court, and has stated that
this is the first time in the history
of Holmes County that the docket
has not been carried in The Lex
ington Advertiser and The Durant
News prior to the opening of Court.
The facts of the matter are these:
The docket has not been published
in any paper in Holmes County
since the April 1858 Term of Court,
and for these reasons.
In the first place, the docket is
for the convenience of the Court,
the litigants, and their Attorneys,
and there is no requirement in the
law anywhere that he docket be
published.

OF
Grand Jury
TO THE
ARTHUR CLARK, JUDGE:

We, your Grand Jury, duly en-
panelled, sworn and charged at
this, the October, 1859 term of Cir
cult Court of Holmes County, Mis-
sissippi, hereby submit this. our
report of our acts taken at said
term:
We have been In session two days
have investigated the cases pre-
scented to US, and have made the
inspection required by law, and
from our Investigations and exam
nations of witnesses, we have
found Ia true bills" and 2 mo
bills. and we herewith submit said
true bills to your honor In open
court with this report.
The County Jail appears to be
clean and in good condition gen
orally, and the prisoners confined
therein seem to be well fed and
cared for. However, we would re
commend that the interior walls
of the cells be painted.
Our inspection of the County
Farm reveals 1t Is in good condi-
ton and well kept and clean and
the prisoners appeared to be well
cared for. However, we would
strongly recommend that the kit
chen be given a general cleaning.
The Courthouse appears to be
well kept and to be In good gen.
eral condition. From our neces-
sarily limited inspection of the
public records of the county, they
appear to be in good order.
ALI interior walls of the Court
house need repainting, but we UNI
derstand that this will be accom-
plished as soon as the Courthouse
roof is repaired. We were further
advised that the Board of Super
viSors is taking necessary steps
to repair said roof. We do recon-
mend, however, that the door to
the rest room In the Sheriff's Of
f1ce be painted at this tfrac.
We were advised that the sheriff
plans to add two more patrol cars
for police work In the County and
that radio units should be installed
in the two new cars In order to util-
lie them to the greatest extent
possible. VIZ therefore recommend
to the Board of Supervisors that
consideration be given to purchas-
ing and installing RADIO units in
the two new patrol cars to be add
ed to the sheriff's department.
And now having reported our
acts, we beg to be discharged, sub
ject to recall when and if so Or

Tibet Issue to Come
Before u. N. 7 uesdoy

Ibetans' human rights and free
doms have been forcibly denied
them and call for respect for
these rights and for their dis
tinctive cultural and religious
life.
The resolution cites an appeal
for help that came to the U. N.
September 9 from the Dalai
Lama. refugee cooking Of
Tibet.
But it does not quote his
charge that the Chinese Com
munists are out to exterminate
the Tibetan people through
murder, mistreatment and ster-
Iilization.
In fact, it does not even
mention Communist China. In
an earlier draft, it spoke of q
1851 Chinese-Tibetan agree
ment guaranteeing Tibetan
autonomy. But before the
resolution was circulated as a
U. N. document last Tuesday,
this reference was eliminated
in a bid for more votes.
The Irish and Malayal1 dele
cations were reported in diplo-
matte circles today to be con-
fident that the resolution would
get the two-thirdS vote neces-
sary for its adoption.
