REMINDS ORAND JURY OF ITS SOLEMN DUTIES. RESPONSIBILITIES - V’->- ' ' ' ik' ■■ j "^■.' ■' Harnett county people are always glad to welcome their resident judge. Clawson ~L. Williams ol Ban- lord. and the eighteen members ot the Grand "jury listened intently to his remarks Monday morning when court convened. . Judge Williams feels at ease, too, when he comes to Harnett.
