Miss. Code § 19-7-11
If a new courthouse or jail shall be required in any county, or if the courthouse or jail shall need remodeling, enlarging, or repairing, the board of supervisors shall determine the material, the dimensions, and the plan thereof, and may make the necessary contracts for the erection, remodeling, enlarging, or repairing thereof, and for furnishing the materials. The board may appoint one or more commissioners to superintend the work as it progresses, which commissioner or commissioners shall take care that the proper materials are furnished, and that the work is faithfully performed according to contract, and who, for his or their services, shall receive a reasonable compensation.
The board of supervisors of any county having two judicial districts, and in which State Highways 18 and 15 intersect, is further authorized to issue negotiable bonds of either of the judicial districts of such county for the purpose of erecting, equipping, repairing, reconstructing, remodeling, and enlarging the courthouse in and for the judicial district for which such bonds are issued. All such bonds shall be issued in like manner and subject to the same limitations and provisions as are set forth by law with reference to the issuance of county-wide bonds.
