by much disorder.

GOOD MEN AND TRUE
Names of Four Hundred Citizens
Made up for Jury Service This
Year in Circuit Court.

The county commissioners met
Saturday to select list Of 400 jury
men for the ensuing year. The job
lasted nearly all Afternoon and far in
to the night, although much assis-
lance was given by the use of the
printed registration sheets OF the
voter. at the last election. The task
is made difficult because there are
so many citizens exempt from jury
service. The 400 names are written,
each name and address upon slip
of paper and the lot placed in a box
and shaken up; and before each
term of court, the required number
of iurymen are secured by the clerk
drawing out of the box enough slips
to supply the required number for
the term.
1t is very seldom that as many as
400 jurymen are needed during one
year, but during the past fiscal year
every name In the box was finally
drawn.
