We your Grand Jury Selected

We have examined into all cases
of violation of laws that have been
brought to our knowledge, or of
which we could get any informa

nesses and returned into court 30
True Bills. Our committee ap
pointed to inspect the county jail
report it to be in fair condition.
The sanitary condition being now
much better than in the past. The
prisioners say that they are being
well fed and treated. The keeper
of the Poor Farm reports that with
700 or 800 feet of lumber and two
windows, he could make a sum
mer room which would add great
ly to the comfort of the inmates
and we recommend that he be al

necessary improvements.

commissioners’ report.
To Hon.H.N.Hutton,Judge:—
We, the Commissioners of Ac
counts for Woodruff County, beg
leave to report as follows; We
find from the accounts kept by
the County Clerk with the various
Collecting officers of the County,
that said officers have paid into
the County Treasury all monies
due the County, and that the ac
counts kept by the County Clerk
are in good form. We also find
that the County Treasurer has
made proper reports, and the
several amounts shown to be due
the county by him is on deposit
to his credit in the several banks
of the County. We find the mat
ter of delinquent taxes as due by
former Collector, M- H. Patter
son, in same shape as when we re
ported to your Honor at August
Term 1906, of this Court. We
did not go into the matter furthur
for the reason that we find an or
der of record, made by the County
Judge Summers which order we
copy, and make a part of our re
port, and when carried out will
make entirely clear the matter of
delinquent taxes as shown to be
due by the books of the County
Clerk. “Now on this day it ap
pearing to the Court that there
are certain delinquent taxes on
personality charged against M. H.
Patterson, Collector of Woodruff
County for the years 1901, 1902,
1903,1904 and 1905. That the
delinquent taxes on personality
for the years 1904—5, except
what has been collected and paid
into the Treasury of Woodruff
Countyare now in the hands of
W. R. Cain, and in process of col
lection, and that the delinquent
tax books for the years 1901—2—
3, have never been returned to the
Clerk of this Court, but that said
taxes are still charged to M. H.
Patterson. It is ordered that M.
H. Patterson, former collector,
bring into Court or account for the
delinquent tax books delivered to
him for the years 1901—2 and 3,
on the first day of April, Term
1907, of this Court, to the end
that proper credits may be given
therefor, and to determine wheth
er any of said taxes have been
paid. The Clerk of this Court is
hereby directed to make and de
liver in duplicate, certified copies
of this order to the Sheriff of
Woodruff County, to the end
that the Sheriff of Woodruff
County may deliver a copy
thereof to M. H. Patterson,
and said Sherifl will make his re
turn thereon on the first day of
the April Term 1907 of this
Court.”
Respectfully Submitted,
Commissioners op Accounts.

APPRECIATION.
Appreciation is one of the
Christ-like emotions of the human
heart. To look at motives and not
at results is the right thing to do.
How often the best laid plans lead
to failure. A word of apprecia
tion has led many a discouraged
heart to pick up the broken
threads and weave them into a
new web after they had lain among
tattered ideals for months or years.
Kind words bring memories that
echo through the years long after
the lips that uttered them have
crumbled to dust. Children carry
the memory of words of apprecia
tion with them thru childhood and
recall them in old age when envel
oped in the shadows of life. They
are like the perfume of the violet
that lifts its head above the spring
snows and whispers to them of
the sunshine. Money cannot buy,
intellect cannot create so rare a
gem as the true kindness. It is a
heart product and needs the ten
derest culture. It is killed by in
difference and enfeebled by neg
lect.
Circuit Court for the Southern
District of Woodruff County will
convene at Cotton Plant, on Mon
day, March 4. If you have any
business in Court, remember the
date.
It is only duty and justice to en
courage your home paper, extend
to it the nourishment to which it is
entitled. Pay your subscriptions
promptly, and send a few extra
copies to your relatives and friends
at a distance. They will appreci
ate the favor and so will we.
It is well to be charitable in all
our conclusions, mindful that we
often need the cloak of charity our
selves. Fill life with sunshine
and strew flowers where others
throw stones. Make life a bright
spot in this world and where you
see flowers cast smiles, and wheth
er it be morn, dusk or night, let
the sunny side of nature always be
at full meridian.
The life of an editor is not all
roses. If he pleases one faction
he displeases the other. He is ac
cused of saying too little about
someohe and toomuch about the oth
er. If he suggests a remedy for any
social evil a large part of the com
munity is profuse in its express
ions of disapproval. So he taxes
his weary brain to escape the
shoals that mean shipwreck to so
many editors.
It would astonish many of us
sometimes if we could know what
our neighbors think of us. Every
man has some kind of a standing
in the community where he lives,
and he is sized up a great deal
closer than he has any idea of.
You may set it down as a fact
that there isn’t a twelve year old
boy in the neighborhood who has
n’t his opinion of you, and he
wouldn’t be slow about express
ing it either, if a stranger should
ask him for it. Every man is al
ways making character, whether
he is doing anything else or not.
