Yes, Jem is observing that the people he sees on juries don't live in the town - they live in the country. Because they live in the country, the people from town don't really know the people sitting on the jury. At this time (similar to how it works today), there was a box or a list of names of the people living in Maycomb County, and juries are selected randomly. However, at this time, the names of women and African-Americans were not included on this list that jury members were selected from. If people had a legitimate reason to not serve on the jury, they could sometimes be excused

Why did mayella become angry with atticus when he questioned her?

When Mayella is on the stand the question Atticus asks that makes her furious is "How?" She has just described how Tom Robinson choked and beat her, and Atticus asks Tom to stand up. This draws the jury's attention to the fact that Tom's left arm is useless, making it highly unlikely he was Mayella's attacker. When Tom stands, Atticus asks Mayella if Tom is the man who attacked. When she responds that he is, Atticus asks, "How?"
