Up The Juries.

a
4 The June term of the Lincoln
county Circuit Court convened
Monday morning with Judge Dave
N Miller on the bench and all
ulcers of the court in their re-
lpective places. The Judge, who
sas attracted considerable attention
si1ce his appointment to this dis
Fict on account Of his promptness
h disposing of the courts busi-
fess, called to order as the clock
fnished the stroke of nine and at
p minutes past the hour the juries
had been empaneled. the docket
was being called. and grist was be-
Ing turned out.
AS this term of court is for the
ttial of civil cases only, the judge
a4nounced that he would have no
c1arge to make as there was no
gland jury. After the two juries
bad been empaneled the Judge made
a short talk. stating that court
would convene promptly at 8
q lock every morning, that he ex-
pected all the court officers and
jurymen to be on hand promptly
AZ it was the taxpayers money
they we're spending. and in these
boil weevii times it behooves every
one to economic as much as posi-
big, individually as well as in
hahdling the peoples money. He
said he was going to do his part to
Dispatch as much business in the
shprtest space of time possible.
w. A. Walker, a juryman, was
fined SIS for not answering to bis
name. the judge remarking that
this amount will probably have
the effect of refreshing his memory
in the future sufficiently for him
to be in his place promptly here
after. =
a large number of teachers from
the Brookhaven Normal attended
the opening of court for the in
formation they would gain. and the
Judge was very accommodating
IN explaining to them each process
