The writer spent portion Of last week
in the official city Of old Clayton. The
week was lively one for the Elkadsr peo-

Every corner Of the County was repres-
ented by persons looking after business OF
some sort. The Boardman House was
literally filled two deep, the General and
his lady commanding the best wishes Of
their army of guests. The Board OF Su>

in our County Legislature. Our member,

Of Marion, was Chairman by choice and

Stoneman, Odell, Jordan, Noble and
Updegraff, Of this city, and Crosby, OF
Garnavillo, and Zeisler, Of West Union,
were there. Judge Hunt invited them.

members of the Clayton County Bar went
about. A good many visited the Judges

small bits Of paper, having their auto
graphs at the bottom. They were usual
" flush and din't want the holders to wear
them out in their pockets. The Court is
now held in the second story Of the Place
block, which has been fitted up for the
use of the County. There was some OBJ

having complied with the requirements Of
law by giving satisfactory bonds for sew
enty-fye thousand dollars, took possession
of the Office on Friday the old incum>
bent, j. G. Vaupel, accepting his ex-ship
with his usual dignity. Judge Rogers,
member of the committee appointed 10y
the Board last summer to examine into
the condition of the treasury, and Mr..
Herman Karberg, of Jefferson, are Mr..

wish the. appearance Of the Treasurer and
his corps of assistants, and belieye, as

their power to transact the business of the
Office in a manner satisfactory to ALL We
opposed them in the election but will not

duties which they have assumed.
Our popular County Superintendent,
John Everall, took his seat, also. His
Office is with Clerk Granger, where he will
