GRAND JURY REPORT
To The Hon.H.N.Hutton, Judge :
We, your grand jury, selected
for the August term, 1907, beg
leave to report as follows:
We have examined into all cases
of violation of the state laws that
have been brought to our knowl
edge, or of which we could get
any information.
Our committee appointed to visit
the jail, reports that it is in good
condition with the exception of a
large hole in the brick wall. This
we recommend, should be repaired
at once. The prisioners were
found to be in good health and say
that they were well fed and treat
ed. Found, however, that the
negro part of the jail was crowded
and seemed to be kept in poor san
itary condition. Considering the
price paid to keep these prisioners,
think an improvement in the san
itary conditions should be made.
We find the county books to be
kept in a neat and business like
way and all accounts properly bal
anced.
Having, as we think, complied
with the laws regulating our duties
and having no further business be
fore our body, with your permis
sion we would respectfully ask to
be discharged. Ed Roddy,
Foreman.
The grand jury found fourteen
bills.
GRAND JURY REPORT ON POOR FARM
To the Hon. H. N. Hutton:
The Grand Jury empanneled for
this term in compliance with the
law requiring them to visit the
poor farm beg leave to submit the
following:
We find that Mr. Hill the pres
ent keeper of the poor farm
is doing all that is possible
for him to do for the amount of
money allowed him to clothe, feed
and furnish medicine for each pau
per, this amount being the mag
nificient sum of Eight Dollars a
month per head for said service,
We find the buildings in a delapi
dated condition and while we feel
sure the inmates are supplied with
sufficient wholesome food as we
know the lessee would supply this
even at an expense to himself but
we feel that every other condition
surrounding these unfortunates is
a disgrace to the generous high
spirited citizenship of Woodruff
County and one that they will
promptly correct when they are
made familiar with the facts. We
therefore recommend that a suit
able parcel of ground be purchas
ed near the County site and a good
comfortable building be erected
thereon, large enough to make
these unfortunate people comfort
able, that they be supplied with
comfortable beds and bedding and
the contract for keeping the pau
pers, be seperated entirely from
the rental of the lands belonging
to the county as these people are
not criminals but are the weak

lings of society, and yet the county
pays $22.50 for feeding the crimi
nals and clothes and medicines
are supplied by the county. And
we feel that if this building is sit
uated near Augusta, the good peo
ple with their big hearted charity
for which they are famous will
greatly assist in supplying these
people with the delicacies with
which this class, we blush to con
fess, are too scantily supplied.
And we feel that if this building
was situated near the County Site
the County Judge could give the
matter his personal supervision
and thereby insure good service to
these people and as the State of
Arkansas supplies her unfortu
nate blind, deaf mutes and luna
tics with all the comforts, Wood
ruff County cannot with honor to
herself afford to do less.
Respectfully submitted,
Ed Roddy, Foreman.
Most any body can edit a news
paper and make it interesting for
awhile. Some people can keep up
the interest for a month or two
without fagging, but it takes a
natural born pencil shover and 8
hard worker to grind out an inter
esting batch of local and editoral
items week after week fora term oi
years. There is no profession
that is more exhausting or less
remunerative for the work than
the editoral or journalistic profes
sion, but how few believe this.
I
One of our ladies invited a few
friends in to dinner the first of
this week. The hostess insisted
that one of the guests take an
other plate of pork and beans.
“Why,” he said, I’ve had two al
ready, but it’s really such nicely
cooked pork and beans I believe
I will take another plate.” “Ma’s
won! ’ ’ exclaimed the little boy at
his side: “Ma’s won! She said
she’d bet a dollar you’d make a
hog of yourself if you came. ’ ’
Advertising seems to be an art
yet to be discovered by some peo
ple. That is, the practical part of
it. A constant stream of water
from one or more fire engines will
soon extinguish or get under con
trol a very large fire, while a few
buckets of water, dashed on here
and there, have little or no effect.
The modern fire department is
practical, and has outgrown the
bucket system; and so with mod
ern advertising, plenty of it, used
in a practical, common sense and
judicious manner, pays. If you
want to catch a certain kind of
fish you use a certain kind of bait;
not all fish bite at all kinds of
bait. Not all people respond to
every advertisement. The news
paper is a medium indispensable
to the majority of advertisers, be
cause of its wide and repeating
circulation. As a promoter of
trade and profit newspaper adver
tising is no longer an open ques
tion ; that is, when done in a prac
tical and intelligent manner, and
pays because of its effectiveness
and cheapness.
If there be one better way than
another to ruin a town, it is for
those who live in it to go about
apologizing for its existence.
There are some who are always
ready to say, by their actions at
least, that this place don’t amount
to much. They will tell you that
the town is dead; that no one
would think of stopping here;
that some town adjacent is more
respectable, more enterprising,
has better people, better enjoy
ments, is ahead of us in every
thing. This is all wrong. Even
if it be true, no one should ever
admit it, when it comes to making
a comparison. Every good citi
zen of this town, should take a
special local pride in all that per
tains to home. The schools, the
churches, the amusements, the
business, pleasures, the picnics,
the celebrations, in fact everything
should be looked on by ourpeople as
being just as good as can be got
ten up elsewhere. The town that
says “we can,” will always suc
ceed. The town that says, “Oh,
I don’t know, I don’t think it will
amount to much,” is never oi
much force. If you have no local
pride, borrow some.

The father was sitting on the
front porch cleaning out a 22 rifle
and as the lad stepped in front of
the gun to pick up an empty shell,
the gun accidentally discharged,
the bullet taking effect in the
boy’s right shoulder near the col
lar bone. The sad occurance took
place about 5:30 o’clock Tuesday
evening. Dr. L. A. Jelks, of this
city was summoned, but the boy
did not live until tne doctor reach

minutes after the shooting.
Mr. McDaniel had just moved
his family to Jelks, that day, from

The bereaved parents have four

YOUNG WHITE MAN
BEATEN BY FORE/TAN.
On last Friday Section Foreman
Fleming, on the Batesville branch
of the itook Island railroad at
Grays, in this county, caused the
arrest of one of his hands, a young
white man named McCormick, on
a charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. On a hearing
before Mayor Stewart, of Grays,
the young man was acquitted.
Fleming and the young man left
the Mayor’s office and went to the
railroad track, sat down and talk
ed the matter over, and, as was
supposed, shook hands and made
friends. The foreman took his
crew, two white men and four
negroes, and went south, outside
the corporation and out of sight
of town. The foreman, it is alleg
ed, then made his negro hands
catch and hold McCormick across
a log while he beat him unmerci
fully. When it became known
the enraged citizens of the com
munity “waited on’’ Fleming and

toward Memphis.
Doubtless the grand jury, which
is now in session, will inquire into
the case. It is understood that
McCormick was picked up by the
trainmen and taken to Brinkley
for treatment, and that he was in a
very precarious condition.
SEVEN MURDER CASES
IN WOODRUFF COURT.
The Woodruff Circuit Court,
Northern District, convened, Mon
day, at Augusta. Judge H. N.
Hutton presiding, with P. R. An
drews, Prosecuting Attorney; W.
R. Cain, Sheriff, and Will Moor
man, Clerk, at their posts. Ex
United States Senator, Sullivan,
of Mississippi; R. J. Williams, of
Forest City, with the local attor
neys of Augusta, are in attendance.
There is a light docket, with but
nine persons in jail, three charged
with murder and six other felonies,
four persons on bond charged with
murder and two other murders to
be investigated. It is likely there
will be some serious legal work
during the term.
A case of Sheriff Cain, of Wood
ruff county, set for hearing at this
term, will be interesting to the
Sheriffs and county judges, as well
as to taxpayers throughout the
state. County Judge Summers re
jected a claim for 75 cents per day
charged against the county by
Sheriff W. R. Cain for keeping
prisioners in the county jail, under
a recent act of the Legislature, on
the ground that the charge was un
reasonable and that the Legisla
ture exceeded its constitutional
authority. It will go to the Su
preme Court.
