Starving a Juryman.

Many citizens are so averse to serving
on jury that they resort to question
able means in order to evade their duty.
The effect, in some OF our large cities. is
to leave the panel to be made up of men
whose reputation for honesty and intel
hgence is not calculated to win respect
for the jury system.
Some years ago, there lived in Maine
one Colonel M. who. unlike MANY
citizens, was not only willing but anx-
ious to serve rs n juror. When the jury
retired for consultation, the Colonel
came forward as the leader no matter
who might be foreman. If his opinion
was not followed, there would be what
the lawyers call "a hung jury and the
foreman had to report a disagreement
Once the Colonefs vanity was graft
fed He was made foreman of the Jury
impanelled to try an important case
The consultation was long one, but it
failed to bring about an agreement. The
Colonel led the jury back to the court
room.
Have you agreed upon verdict?"
asked the clerk.
May it please the court, said the
Colonel, rising, I'VE have not. have
done the best l could, but''-and the
Colonel, turning, cast whitening glance
on his colleagues-''here are eleven of
the most obstinate men ever had any
dealing with"
If the vain Colonel had lived in colon
ial days, he would have found that his
glorious minority of one entailed I'M
pleasant consequences. For we read
that once in Boston, when a juror stood
out against his eleven fellows, the At
torney-General took him aside and di-
rected him rs to what he should do.
But the man refused to follow the At
torney's advice, and so the court ordered
that the eleven should be allowed to eat
and drink as much as they pleased. while
the refractory one might look on with
out tasting drop or touching morsel
The method proved effective, for starv-
alton did what argument could not do;
1t brought about unanimous verdict

HISTORY OF KAUFMAN COUNTY.

KAUFMAN, Texas, Feb. 8, 1884.
| Your correspondent has been at
| this place few days over two weeks
engaged in the collection of data for
full and reliable history of Kaufman
county. Began the work on the 22nd
ultimo and have nearly completed the
first part. which embraces the towns
| of Kaufman, Kemp, Scurry and Prai-
rievile and the contiguous country.
The second part will be devoted to
the towns and country along the
Texas & Pacific railroad, Terrell being
the central point The work will con-
tain thorough history of the county
from its organization in 1913 to the
present time with many interesting
"reminiscences of its pioneers
whose lives form an important
part of the county's history, in
tersperst d with numerous anecdotes,
showing up the ridiculous phases of
early settlement of the county.
find Kaufman county to be one of the
best in the state. 1t has every variety
of soil in quantities to suit purchas-
ers, and at prices astonishinglY low.
1t has been somewhat backward in its
development; owing to a number of
causes, among which is want of jul
dicious advertising. The people here
have began to realize the situation
and are taking an interest in the work,
which is highly commendable to them
and duly appreciated by the writer.
The town of kaufman, the
county seat, is located near
the center of the county
and now has population of from
1900 to 1900 No more beautiful site
can be found for a town in North
Texas, and since the extension of the
Texas Trunk and Texas Central rail-
roads to this county, which form
junction at this place, the town has
been steadily improving. Among the
new buildings in course of construc-
ton are the elegant and substantial
stone jail, to cost $25, goo; neat and
commodious Baptist church, at cost
of about $1,000, and a new Methodist
church, which has just been let to |
contractor at about $500. Many res
licences of elegant style have gone up
recently and others are in contempla- |
ton. The county court is now in SeS-
sion, Hon. j. E. billiard presiding with |
his usual dignity. NeStor Morrord, |
county attorney, is making it hot for |
criminals this week. 1t is thought |

extended TO Athens within the pres
ent year. There is some talk of its |
changing hands, but nothing definite |
can be learned at this time. Kemp, a
flourishing little town some eleven
miles south of Kaufman, of about |
three hundred inhabitants, is the |
present terminus of the road.
Among the most excellent selec-
lions that could be made for commits
sioner to represent this congressional
district at the New Orleans Cotton
Exposition is Judge V. w. Grubbs, of |
Kaufman. He will make an able, in
dustrious and popular representative,
fully alive to the interests of his sec
ton of the state, and can talk up the
counties in this district with great
zeal and fidelity. With his intimate
knowledge of the counties in this dis
trict aud their resources he can do
much solid work in promoting intelli-
gent immigration to Texas. His ap-
pointment would give general salts
