ROADS.
We, the committee appointed to
investigate the roads and bridges of
Grady county, wish to make the fol
lowing report:
We find that the roads are gen
erally well kept and that the bridges
are in fair condition. We learn that
it is difficult for the county to get
parts for road machinery and im
passible to get new machinery and
we wish to commend the commis
sioners for the fine work they have
•done on the roads under these con
.efitions.
Considerable complaint has been
made about people cutting brush,
bushes, etc md leaving them in the
roads. We ippeal to the public to
put a stop to this practice and rec
ommend th t i such practice be dis
continued or that steps be taken to
put a stop to it.
Wq find that there is much work
needed on the post-road running
south of Cairo, that the job let by |
contract tor the building of building bridge j
across Tired Creek and the
of fills and completion of the road
surfacing has not been done. This
road is rapidly going to pieces, the
temporary bridge is now impassable
arrd something should be done about
it. We recommend that every ef- i
fort be made to get the State High
way Department and the Depart
ment bf Post-Roads to
•this work, and that if this can not
be done thr* county take over and
< complete the bridge—put in suffi
<«rent fill to make it usable and to
repair and maintain the road also
put temporary bridge back while
this other work is being done.

BUILDINGS AND COUNTY
PROPERTY.
We, the committee to investigate
buildings and property of the coun
ty T wish to make the following re
port:
Jail.
We visited the jail and find every
thing in order. Very few prisoners
are confined and we find, them well
cared for md in our opinion the
jaM. is run in an efficient manner.
Courthouse.
We. looked carefully over the
iCourthouse in detail. We find the
meed of no repairs except to the
for which we understand nec
iessary parts have been ordered. We
(believe that is soon as material can
•be had the ipace on north side of
,the. building on the third story
•should be converted into usable
rooms. The ladies’ rest room seems
to be in good order and the build
;ing and grounds show good janitor
isewice.
Camp. -
At. the convict camp we found
leverything in excellent condition.
They have a fine shop for the up
keep of equipment. The prisoners
seem well cated for and are well
provided foe with home grown
:fbods. We commend the
PENSIONS.
We, the committee on pensions,
wish to make the following report:
j j From that there the Ordinary’s 12 Office widows we of find de
are now
ceased confederate veterans draw
I ing $30.00 per month each. We also
i inquired into the old age pension,
■ benefits for the blind and depend
I ent children. We find the records at
the welfare department are care
! fully kept and we believe these
funds correctly administered,

ELECTIONS.
We, the committee on elections,
| wis hto make the following report:
We have looked into the matter of
1 elections x’ecently held in the coun

dence of irregularities whatever.

commen d the County Com
j missioners i of licenses for discontinuing for the sale the j
ssuan ce of
w ^ ne anc * beer last Jan. 1st. !
We also commend the officials of
the City of Cairo for no longer li
censing the sale of beer and the
'high license on the sale of wines;
and the strict enforcement of the
1 regulations on these beverages with- j
in the city limits of Cairo. We also I
commend the Sheriff for his vig

throughout the county.
We received the report of Mr. Ben I
Farm Youth of U. S.
Looks to Tomorrow
'T'OMORROW’S farmers and farm
-*■ homemakers are second to no
school group in their enthusiasm
for investing in War Bonds and
Stamps to make sure their future
is secure. Through the Schools At
War program they are investing
what they save and earn in War
Stamps and Bonds.
First evidence of this is the
amount the 4-H Club boys and girls
and the FFA boys invested in war
savings in 1942 from “Victory Pig’’
and other projects. A million and a
half 4-H qiub members put $6,000.
000 of their own savings in War
Bonds and Stamps and sold $2,500,
000 worth of War Savings to their
neighbors. Nearly a quarter mil
lion members of Future Farmers of
America invested more than $1,-
500,000.
Spurred by the realization that
the financial welfare of farm fami
lies the next 20 years depends on
how wisely they use today’s higher
incomes from increased food and
other wartime production, both
groups have set their goals still
higher for 1943.
These farm youths are building
financial reserves, and urging their
parents to do the same, for after
the-war necessities, to meet finan
cial emergencies college. and to help them
get started in
They’re building reserves today
for tomorrow’s farm buildings and
for the other things they will need ,
when they’re tomorrow’s farmers
and homemakers.
Commissioners for making the camp
as near self-sustaining as possible.

BOOKS AND RECORDS.
We, the committee appointed to
inspect the books and records of
the various officials of the county,
find that they are neat and well
kept. They are correct in so far
as we are able to ascertain. We rec
ommend that more filing cabinets
be placed in the office of the Ordin
ary, so that valuable books now
piled upon each other can be pro
perly placed for easy reference.
We find that several Justices of
the Peace failed to send in their
books for inspection and we urge
that they get these books in for in
spection in the future.
We also recommend that some
provision be made to properly store
school books now in the hall near
the north door of the Courthouse to
a place where they can be more
easily protected, if this can be done.

NARCOTICS RECORD.
We, the committee appointed to
look into the sale of narcotics, wish
to make the following report:
We personally examined all dis
pensaries of narcotics and find that
all records are kept in good order.
All narcotics safely locked and all
Federal licenses up to date.

E. Pipkin,

ask our senators and congressmen to
lend their support to such legisla
tion.
We ask that our clerk convey by
letter the sentiment of this Grand
Jury to our Senators and Congress
man.
We recommend the appointment
of the following Justices of the
Peace:
1258th Militia District: W. Lee
Booth to succeed J. W. Lee, re

1641st Militia District: D. A. Mc
Cranie to succeed Roy Robinson,
moved.
720th Militia District: M. G. Pat
terson to succeed himself.
507th Militia District: Alto Sel
lers to succeed J. J. Dollar, re
signed.
We find that the terms of G. B.
Trulock and S. P. Cain members
the County Board of Education
have expired and recommend the
appointment of G. B. Trulock and
Henry Hester, Sr. to fill these va
cancies.
We recommend that the clerk of
the Grand Jury be paid the usual
$5.00 per diem and that Miss Car
leen Draffin be paid $3.00 for copy
ing these presentments and that
the Cairo Messenger be paid $5.00
for publishing same.
We recommend that the Peace
Bond of J. E. Connell, principal, and
Jake Poller and O. G. Rosser, bonds
men, be continued in full force and
effect until the October Term, 1943,
of this court.
We recommend that Justices of
the Peace be very careful in put
ting the names of all witnesses on
warrants as they are issued.
We wish to express our apprecia
tion to His Honor, Judge Crow, for
his able charge and advice and to
our Solicitor, Mr. O’Neal, for his
fine assistance to our body, We
also wish to thank our bailiff, Mr.
T. J. Carter, for his service, and
Sheriff Strickland, for his prompt
and courteous help.
Respectfully submitted,

A. Bell, attorney, for the Board of
County Commissioners. The status
of the financial affairs of the county
is very gratifying. We take this oc
casion to note that Mr. Ben F. Har
rison is acting as Chairman of the
County Commissioners and is
most acceptably the position also
as County Warden and is supervis
ing the road work of the county,
We feel that he is rendering the
county a splendid service and we
want to express the appreciation of
this body for the fine work he is
doing.

We appreciate the fact that Dr.
Rankin and his staff are doing fine
work along this line and we rec
ommend that this work be contin
ued.
We recommend that the Sheriff
and other officers strictly enforce
the vagrancy laws and see that all
able-bodied men go to work, go to
war or go to jail.
Feeling some concern over the
national emergency caused by the
war and the great necessity that
every resource of our nation be at
work to supply our fighting forces
with material we heartily endorse
legislation seeking to curb strikes,
absenteeism or any slowing up of
the war effort and we respectfully
account of the illness and death of
Mrs. Barwick’s mother, Mrs. K. H.
Robertson.

The Department of Agriculture has i
urged greatly increased milk pro
duction to meet the needs of the
United Nations for dry milk, butter,
cheese. Concrete improvements—
such as a new milk house, cooling
tank, dairy bam floor, granary, manure
pit or storage cellar—will help many
farmers do a bigger production job.
Concrete improvements are fire
safe, sanitary, cost little to build,
last for generations. Concrete farm
jobs require a minimum of critical war
materials. If you need help, get in
touch with your concrete contractor
or building material dealer.
