Under instructions from Circuit'
Judge Martin the grand jury has taken
up the matter of a thorough investi
gation of Miller county's financial
records which, by an investigating
committee appointed by the county
court more than a year ago, appear
to exhibit an unaccounted-for deficit
of more than 88,000, but decided
that th task was too great for com
pletion at one short session, and they
brought in a recommendation that the
county court appoint disinterested ex
pert accountants to make a thorough
investigation and 'report. It seems
from statements made by persons, who
know, that the grand jury have good
grounds for moving in the matter,
