ea COUNTY CoMMIssIoNKRs.-The county has
as been formed into three Commissioner districts
in accordance with the law OF last winter, as
follows: LIST district, Emporis township; ed

IN mendaro, Center and Pike. Each district
elects its own member OF the Board, instead
.. OF their being elected by the county at large,
as heretofore.

lst responsible place to fill in the county than
that Of commissioner, and the people should
q, be careful to select their best man.
