About Jurors,

II has been suggested To us thatJudicial bust.
ness might be expedited and economy Sc.
cured by change In the law governing the
issuing of venires for jurors AT present the
County Commissioners can only summon
eighteen trial jurors preceding a term OF
Court, and this panel must be exhausted and
the necessity for another demonstrated In
Court before another venire can be issued.
The entire Court Is therefore frequently de-
layed an entire day while the Sheriff is hunt
ing up new jury. Authority for the sum-
moning of a larger jury at first, or an en-
larged discretionary power vested in the
Court would relieve this evil.
Persons exempt from jury duty also COM
plain Of being summoned and compelled TO
appear before the Court 10 be excused, al
though the officer summoning them may be
satisfied they are not liable 20 duty. There is
an act providing for the filing with the Com
missioners of lists of exempt firemen, but
there are other exempts of whom the Com
missioners have not legal notice, and who
are frequently drawn as jurors. This evil
might be obyiated by empowering the Sher-
IN when summoning juror who is exempt
10 place him under oath NJ to the matter, and
make the oath part of his return. This
would save the county good deal Of money
In mileage, per diem, etc, and, with the Other
amendment we have suggested, enable the
Court 10 proceed continuously with business
Are these things worthy the attention Of om
law makers? 3IE

Another year win make great Innovation

Our isolation gave us a business system Of
our own--iarge profits, generous methods, ex-
travagant habits. The railroads will cause
close margins, strong competition,and throw
against our old time, free handed people a
class of close, penny catching traders, who
will live on the amounts we squander, and
make money on profits our present1nerehant
would scorn to do business n,and which our
present population would not ask thean 10 do
business for. Advertising alone will not save
the old business men. They will hold the
bulk Of the trade for time, but eventually it.
win go where the most can be bought for the
least--from friend or stranger 1t is the law

classed as close and picayunish, who have no

The almost unbroken cold weather of the
past six weeks, with the thermometer below
zero every twenty-four hours over half the
time, Is said to be unprecedented at this sea-
son Of the year within the memory Of the
Oldest inhabitant, white or fotherwise. The
Mississippi also froze over earlier than it has
for thirty-eight preceding years, hut private
advices from Maine and New Hampshire say
the season there has been unusually warm.

before Christmas, with progressively three
