Grand Jury Report
TO THE HONORABLE
ARTHUR B. CLARK, JR.,
JUDGE:
We, your Grand Jury, duly
mpanelled d, sworn and
charged at this regular April,
1868, Term of the Circuit
Court of Holmes County, Mis-
sissippi, hereby make this,
our report of our actions and
proceedings taken at said
Term.
We have been in session
two days and have made the
various inspections required
of us and have considered the
cases brought before us, and
from our examination of wit
nesses and from our deliber-
atoms, we have found Is
"True Bills" and One mo
Bill, and we herewith sub
nit said True Bills to your
Honor with this report.
Our inspection of the Hol-
mes County Courthouse re-
vealed it to be clean and well
kept. However, the whole in
terror of the building needs
repainting, as has been re-
commended by former Grand
Juries and we strongly re-
commend to the Board of SUI
pervisors that such repaint-
ing be accomplished as soon
as possible. We also found
the restrooms in the Court
house to be badly in need of
repairing and renovating and
we urge the Board of Super
visors to have such work
done. Our necessarily limited
inspection of the County
books and records revealed
them to be in good order.
We examined the County
Jail and found it to be we'll
maintained and in good re-
pair with the exception of a
leaking toilet on the second
floor which is leaking down
a wall into the jailer's quart
ers. This creates an unsani-
tary condition and we urge
the Board of Supervisors to

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING

neighbors, and a time of games
and feasting.
Almost half of the original

first winter. They had labored
long and hard to build a vii
lage and plant crops. When their
harvest was gathered, they
celebrated.
In writing to a friend In Eng
