Mr. Grayd<m reached home from Nashville yesterday at noon and fur nishes us witli valuable information connected with tbo commissioners’ work together with tho lists of grand and petit jurors drawn to serve at the October term, 1892, of Borrien superior court. Thcro are 1697 voters in Berrien oouuty, whose names appear on the digest, and are distributed through the districts of the county as follows: Tifton, 103, Adel 138.

Of course this does not show tho correct voting stiongth of the county, os there are several hundred whose mimes do not appear ou the digest because of over-nge. The census of 1890 gives Berrien county a voting population of 2,200. Six hundred names were taken from the digest fof jurors, and these were sub-divided into grand ami traverse jurors according to the law governing the revision of the jury boxes of the state, After completing their work of revision tbo commissioners drow the following to serve as grnud jurors at tho next superior court.

Both inode intelligent and thoughtful talks. Saylor said lie wus a negro, not by choice but through the dis pensation of an Allwise God. lie couldn't help his birth and proposed to make tho very best of his condi tion; he proposed to know only a ne gro’s place and conduct himself as a negro gentleman. Ho had affiliated with the republican party ever since ho became of age, bnt be had learned it was not tho thing for a southern man, either white or black, to do.
