Court ends term with no jury trials
There will be no jury cases tried at the present term of court. Cases were set for yesterday and today, but the cases set for yesterday were settled, and the court continued those set for today, and told the jury men that they might return to their corn fields. This was highly pleasing to those former jury men who were behind with their work, or who had insufficient help to conduct the farm operations during their absence.
