Have New Jury Chairs.
Jurors who hear cases at the January term of the Nodaway County Circuit Court will be able to render justice with minds and bodies at ease. Judge John M. Dawson has issued an order to the sheriff and the clerk of the court that new jury chairs must be purchased and installed before the first day of the January term, because “it appears to the court that the jury chairs in the Circuit Court room are broken, uncomfortable and unsafe for use.” — Maryville Tribune
