Good Work.


10 the street committee and

worth doing well, and this seems

Atany rate, they seem determined

Our Juries and Jury Commissioners

EDITOR JOURNAL: While at
tending your last Superior Court
we took occasion 10 note the mate
rial of which the different juries
were composed. The grand jury
was mostly made up of men from
forty to sixty years of age. The
traverse jury was composed of
men of all ages, and was over an
average body of men in intelli-
gence.
The law for selecting jurors is
that the jury commissioners shall
select the most intelligent for
grand jurors; after that then Sc
lect the most intelligent from the
remaining citizens for the trav-
erse jurors. It does not say that
the first body shall be selected ac-
cording to age. It is an old, er-
roneous and exploded idea thai
the Oldest men alone should be Sc
lected for grand Jurors. Some Of
the brightest and most competent
jurors we have are from twenty
eight to forty years old.
Because a man is forty-fve or
fifty years old is no reason that he
IS more competent for a grand
juror than a man thirty years of
age who far excels him in
business qualifications. 1t is the
business tact and qualification
that makes good juror, and not
age. We claim, for these reasons,
that at least one-third Of the grand
jury should be composed of young
men. Let portion of the names
be stricken from the grand jury
list and their places be supplied
with men from the traverse jury
list-men who are more compe-
tent. 1t cannot be denied that
there are men in the traverse jury
box whose experience and fitness
for Jurors excel some in the box
of the grand jury. If men Of this
stamp were placed on the grand
jury the expenses of the county
would be much less, and neither
would so many frivolous bills of
Indictment come before the court.
We fear that some of the COM
missioners are too prejudieed and
are not liberal enough in their
views as to who should be placed
in the jury box. We find good
men who are not in either of the
jury boxes. The commissioners
should be men Of broad and liberal
views, and not let anything like
prejudice or ill-will govern them
in the selection of jurors for the
county. GRANGHFs.

It was said week or two ago
that the united efforts Of the far
mers would soon cause General
Green's banner to trail in the dust,
but the Generals colors still float
in the breezes, and the struggle
for mastery goes on. Opposition
fed from Napoleon Bonaparte as
from the glance of destiny but the
star of his glory went down upon
the battlefield of Waterloo; so
there will come a time when Gen
eral Green shall have q downfall,
and when that time comes many
will rejoice and not single sym
pathetic tear will be shed in hon
or of his memory.
Last Friday some of our citizens
went over to Professor Harris ex-
animation in Randolph, aud Fri
dav night they went in crowds to
his exhibition. They were we'll
entertained, and some said they
never saw anything of the kind in
the country to surpass it.
Mr.. W. nj. Goode, son of our
esteemed friend, L. S. Goode, Of
Wards, was in the village Satur-
day, fresh from the Land of low
ers. Mack says man can make
more money in Florida than in
this country, bat society is not as
good.
Rev.A.M. Williams did not fiji his
appointment Saturday and Sunday,
but the congregation was we'll en-
tertained both days by lecture
from Mr.. n. w. Dozier.
The smiling face of Mrs. lula
Wiseman was seen in the village
Thursday. She is the guest of
Miss Lulie Lee, ,and the two young
ladies' are having a nice time.
Miss Fannie Lee, oul organist,
had for her guest Sunday Miss
Alice Doaier, of Dawson.
Mr.. John Avera was in the vii
lage Saturday and Sunday with
his fine looking lride. ".

We have visited both Sunday
schools in this place recently
They seem to be in Il flourishin,
condition. And right here we
want to say that some of the young
folks do not behave az we'll al
they should. We like to see gooC
behavior in churches.
Mr.. Powell filled his pulpit
at the Baptist church here on last
Saturday and Sunday. We were
prevented the pleasure of attend.

and attentive.
Miss Minnie HufPs school, al
the Grier school house, will close

teacher, and want to secure her
services for another term.
Mr.. A. ]. Butler informed us
the other day that he had lost,
from cholera, twenty-tllree head
of hogs which he intended to
make meat OF this winter.
The prospect for a corn crop in
South Terrell is at this time, we
think, the best we ever saw, and
with two more good rains an
abundant crop is sure.
Mrs. J. H. Collier visited her
brother, Mr.. Pierce Wellborn,
last week in Baker county. Mr..
Wellborn is quite sick, we learn.
Lumpkin needs bank.-Inde-
pendent. We don't care so much
about a bank down here; what we
want is money.
Messrs. Todd and Warner are
now on the road with their thresh-
ing machine making the oats
hump.
Mr.. B. T. King is hauling lum-
Der and brick preparatory to build
ing himself new dwelling.
Mr.. G. G. Sheppard, treasurer of
Sumter county, was in our town
the latter part of last week.
One of our young friends has
promised to treat us to a nice ripe
melon in few days.
Our friend, Mr., W. E. Brim,
treated us to some nice peaches
the other day.
M. J. H. Golfers condition is
not SO favorable now as it was two
or three weeks ago.
There is comparatively no sick
ness in this section a5 present.
