All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transcribed, in any form or by any means, without the prior written permission of the Center for Government & Community Development, Mississippi State University Extension Service. This publication is designed to provide accurate and authoritative information regarding the organization and operation of county government in Mississippi. It is distributed with the understanding that the editors, the individual authors, and the Center for Government & Community Development in the Mississippi State University Extension Service are not engaged in rendering legal, accounting, or other professional services. If legal advice or other expert assistance is required by the readers, the services of the Office of the Attorney General of Mississippi, the Office of the State Auditor of Mississippi, a county attorney, or some other competent professional should be sought. FOREWORD FROM THE MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SERVICE The Mississippi State University Extension Service is a vital, unbiased, research-based, client- driven organization. Extension is Mississippi State University’s lead unit for outreach and engagement and is dedicated to delivering the information people need to make qualified decisions about their economic, social, and cultural well-being. As director, I focus on these core values, which are important to Mississippi State, our unit’s success and future, and, most importantly, our clientele. As we serve the people of Mississippi, we strive to— • be honest, open, and fair to everyone; • provide an advanced, up-to-date knowledge base; • respond quickly with valid and consistent information; • work collectively as a team of professionals; and • make a significant impact in the lives of Mississippians. Like the counties of our state, Mississippi State University Extension exists to provide services that improve the lives of Mississippians. In addition to the programs we provide in the areas of agriculture, natural resources, family and consumer education, 4-H youth development, and community resource development, MSU Extension, through the Center for Government and Community Development (GCD), provides three major types of services to local governments— education and certification programs for elected and appointed officials, specialized publications, and technical assistance. The GCD currently works in conjunction with the following associations of local government officials to help meet and fulfill their educational needs: Mississippi Association of Supervisors, Mississippi Municipal League, Mississippi Association of County Board Attorneys, Mississippi Municipal Clerks and Tax Collectors Association, Mississippi Chancery Clerks Association, Mississippi Association of County Administrators/Comptrollers, Mississippi Assessors and Collectors Association, Mississippi Chapter of International Association of Assessing Officers, and Mississippi Civil Defense & Emergency Management Association. The center works with these associations to plan and implement a variety of educational programs, seminars, and workshops. In cooperation with the State Department of Audit and the Mississippi Department of Revenue, the GCD manages legislatively mandated certification programs for county purchase clerks, receiving clerks, inventory control clerks, tax assessors, and tax collectors and manages professional education programs for county supervisors and county administrators. The GCD’s Certification Program for Municipal Clerks and Tax Collectors and its Certified Appraiser School are nationally recognized. The GCD assists the Office of the Secretary of State in implementing a training program for municipal clerks and municipal election officials. Active in training in the areas of homeland security and emergency preparedness and management, the GCD works with the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, Mississippi Office of Homeland Security, Mississippi State Department of Health, and Mississippi Board of Animal Health to provide training, seminars, and workshops for local government and emergency management officials. Technical assistance is provided on a “time available” basis by the center to counties and municipalities in areas that include general management, financial administration, personnel administration, leadership development, economic development, and community facilities and services. Through these activities, the GCD assists local government officials, local units of government, and associations of local government in their efforts to improve governance at the grassroots level and deliver services to the citizens of Mississippi. The center does not take an advocacy role in the business, legislative, or political affairs of the local governments or local government associations with which it works. Our commitment remains strong to doing whatever we can to improve service delivery by county government in our state. This book is dedicated to that end. Gary Jackson, PhD Director Mississippi State University Extension Service FOREWORD FROM THE MISSISSIPPI ASSOCIATION OF SUPERVISORS County Government in Mississippi, Fifth Edition is a joint project of the Mississippi Association of Supervisors and the MSU Extension Center for Government and Community Development. Our goal with this publication is to provide county supervisors and other interested individuals with a single source that they can use to provide background information on a particular area, or as a reference to guide them to additional in-depth information. For newly elected officials, this book is an excellent information source as they become acquainted with the many areas and issues that comprise county government in this state. The publication would not have been possible without the assistance of Mississippi State University Extension. The Mississippi Association of Supervisors would like to thank the Center for Government and Community Development faculty and staff and the contributing authors who donated their time and talents to make the fifth edition of County Government in Mississippi possible. More than ever before, county supervisors must be informed of the many laws, regulations, and policies affecting county government in Mississippi. It is hoped that this book will serve as a tool to further assist county supervisors in governing more effectively. It is but one of the many educational resources provided by the Mississippi Association of Supervisors. We hope that the information contained in this book will help county supervisors continue to advance within the role of their elected office. Derrick Surrette Executive Director Mississippi Association of Supervisors PREFACE In 1985, Mississippi State University’s Extension Center for Government and Community Development (GCD), in cooperation with the Mississippi Association of Supervisors (MAS), issued a Handbook for Mississippi County Supervisors. This original handbook has evolved during the last 30 years into the publication County Government in Mississippi. County Government in Mississippi has grown and changed over the years, reflecting the various changes in county law and practice. As the publication has grown in scope, it has become recognized by the general public, various professionals who work or consult with counties, educators, and elected and appointed state and county officials as the leading work published on county government organization and practice in Mississippi. This fifth edition is designed to incorporate the most recent changes in the law, as well as introduce the reader to the powers, duties, and responsibilities of Mississippi counties. While no book can provide everything there is to know about county government, this book provides the building blocks for elected and appointed county officials and other interested individuals to form a substantial knowledge base across a range of subjects. Writing this publication was a collaborative effort of several very talented individuals—all knowledgeable about county government and all experts in their professions. Recognition should be given to these individuals in making this book possible and for their daily contributions to improving the operation of county government in Mississippi. In an effort to continue to strengthen the ability of county governments to better serve their citizens, the MAS has once again supported this publication. This edition of County Government in Mississippi would not have been possible without the support of the MAS. Finally, appreciation is due to Dr. Gary Jackson, MSU Extension director. Dr. Jackson has been a staunch advocate for the GCD and its efforts. This edition of County Government in Mississippi would not have been published without Dr. Jackson’s continued support.

  • My County Works Activity Book
    My County Works A County Government Activity Book Dear Educators and Parents, The National Association of Counties, in partnership with iCivics, is proud to present “My County Works,” a county government activity book for children. It is designed to introduce students to counties’ vast responsibilities and the important role counties play in our lives every day. Counties are one of America’s oldest forms of government, dating back to 1634 when the first county governments (known as shires) were established in Virginia. The organization and structure of today’s 3,069 county governments are chartered under state constitutions or laws and are tailored to fit the needs and characteristics of states and local areas. No two counties are exactly the same. In Alaska, counties are called boroughs; in Louisiana, they’re known as parishes. But in every state, county governments are on the front lines of serving the public and helping our communities thrive. We hope that this activity book can bring to life the leadership and fundamental duties of county government. We encourage students, parents and educators to invite your county officials to participate first-hand in these lessons–to discuss specifically how your county works. It’s never too early for children to start learning about civics and how they can help make our communities better places to live, work and play. Please visit www.naco.org for more information about why counties matter and our efforts to advance healthy, vibrant, safe counties across the United States. Matthew Chase Executive Director National Association of Counties Partnering with iCivics The National Association of Counties and iCivics have developed a collection of civic education resources to help young people learn about county government.

The study focuses on the fitful— and often futile—efforts of the French, the English, the Spanish, and the Americans to establish plantation agriculture in Natchez and its environs, a district that emerged as the heart of the “Cotton Kingdom” in the decades following the American Revolution.

The act provided: “Be it therefore enacted, by the Lieutenant-Governor, Council, and Burgesses, of this present General Assembly, and it is herby enacted, by the authority of the same, That from and immediately after the first day of May next ensuing, the said County of Prince George be divided into two counties; that is to say: All that part thereof, lying on the upper sided of the run which falls into Appomattox river, between the town of Blandford, and Bolling’s point warehouses, to the outermost line of the glebe land and by a south course to be run from said outermost line of the glebe land, to Surry County, shall be one distinct county, and called and known by the name Dinwiddie and all that other part thereof below the said run and course, shall be one other distinct county and retain the name of Prince George.

Schlereth Contributing Editor Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jah/article/86/1/167/722954 by guest on 27 September 2021 "1811-Year of Wonders in the Mississippi Territory." Old Capitol Museum, Mis­ sissippi Department of Archives and History, 100 S. State St., Jackson, MS 39205. Temporary exhibition, May 14, 1998-Nov. 16, 1998. Donna Dye, director; Cavett Taff, curator; John Gardner and Tara Bond, assistant curators; Mary Lohrenz, collection curator; Nicole Maris, registrar. The United States Congress created the Mississippi Territory in 1798. Instead of cel­ ebrating Mississippi's bicentennial with an exhibition that spanned its nineteen-year history prior to statehood, the staff of the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson, Missis­ sippi, chose to highlight one year. Sometimes referred to as the annus mirabilis in the American West, 1811 was marked by the Great Comet, the New Madrid earthquake, and the maiden voyage of the first steamboat on the Mississippi River. The curators decided that a focus on this particular slice of time would be a cleverway to make pa­ trons think about the significance of the Mississippi Territory. A massive impressionistic painting of the momentarily ruptured Mississippi River with a primitive steamboat tossed upon its bank in the foreground, a shattered log cabin in the background, and a symbolic comet in the sky called attention to the ex­ hibit opposite the main entrance to the Old Capitol. Above it hung the title banner: 1811-Year of Wonders in the Mississippi Territory. The Great Comet of 1811, the brightest comet to cross the sky in centuries, shone at its most luminous in October.

TWIXT OCEAN AND PINES: THE SEASIDE RESORT AT VIRGINIA BEACH, 1880-1930 Jonathan Mark Souther Master of Arts University of Richmond, 1996 Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director This thesis descnbes the first fifty years of the creation of Virginia Beach as a seaside resort. It demonstrates the importance of railroads in promoting the resort and suggests that Virginia Beach followed a similar developmental pattern to that of other ocean resorts, particularly those ofthe famous New Jersey shore. Virginia Beach, plagued by infrastructure deficiencies and overshadowed by nearby Ocean View, did not stabilize until its promoters shifted their attention from wealthy northerners to Tidewater area residents. After experiencing difficulties exacerbated by the Panic of 1893, the burning of its premier hotel in 1907, and the hesitation bred by the Spanish American War and World War I, Virginia Beach enjoyed robust growth during the 1920s. While Virginia Beach is often perceived as a post- World War II community, this thesis argues that its prewar foundation was critical to its subsequent rise to become the largest city in Virginia.
