At the recent March meeting in Bakers
field, Gen. S. b. Hazeltine was unani-
mously elected town clerk, II being his
flfty-fourth election to that office. The
general is SO years of age, but he always
has, and to this day continues to perform
the entire duties of his office without the
aid of any assistant, and the record of 1874
are equally as perfect as those of 1921. 1t
Is worthy of remark, that although there
was full attendance at the town meet.
ing, there was not one voter present that
was present at the generals first election
in 1921. Gen. ii. has always been n
staunch democrat, and has presided over
the democratic county conventions for "a
years.
