tary manner:

discharged the duties of his office. We
are not Of that number who regard the
frequent change in this Office of any adj
vantage TO the State. 1t requires expert
ence as we'll as ability to make good re-
porter, both of which qualifications Col.
Veazey possesses, and while we would say
nothing in disparagement of the com
potency Of his competitor, Mr.. Norman
Paul Of Woodstock, to fill the position

acted wisely in retaining the services of
COL Veazey."
