      About Holmes County…<\/div>\r\n

      By Act of the Legislature of Mississippi on February 19, 1838, Holmes County was established. It was originally part of the territory forming the large county of Hinds, which was ceded to the United States by the Choctaw Indians in the Treaty of Doak's Stand. This was long known as the \"New Purchase.\" One of the counties created out of Hinds, was Yazoo, from which was taken the territory forming the county of Holmes.<\/p>\r\n

      Holmes County has an area of 761 square miles, of which 301,000 acres are waste lands. There are fifty two people per square mile, and three fourths of the inhabitants of the county live in the rural sections. The soil is loam, sometimes called the Yazoo Delta loam; the uplands are of brown loam or loess.<\/p>"},{"txt_script":"Index","txt_script_id":"page_col-3_row-1","txt_id":71,"txt_text":"

        During Reconstruction, the first Mississippi constitutional convention in 1868, with delegates both black and white, framed a constitution whose major elements would be maintained for 22 years. The convention was the first political organization in the state to include African-American representatives, 17 among the 100 members (32 counties had black majorities at the time). Some among the black delegates were freedmen, but others were educated free blacks who had migrated from the North. The convention adopted universal suffrage; did away with property qualifications for suffrage or for office, a change that also benefited both blacks and poor whites; provided for the state's first public school system; forbade race distinctions in the possession and inheritance of property; and prohibited limiting civil rights in travel. Under the terms of Reconstruction, Mississippi was restored to the Union on February 23, 1870. Source: Wikipedia<\/a>.
