Clerk of the Court.

Mr.. 2. N. Waterbury has been ap-
pointed by Judge Conger Clerk Of the
Court at Jefferson, vice Mr.. D. E..
Baker, deceased. This is another tri-
umph Of the old Jefferson county ring,
the reigning Democratic dynasty. AS
faithful and earnest worker in the
cause of the ringsters he well deserves
this appointment from the ring.
Waterbury's overthrow as a barnacle
was Of but short duration and he now
stands in fighting trim again in the
ranks Of Giles & Company, ready to do
service to the people in official capacity.
Thus has the Jefferson county ring been
more firmly welded, and the will Of the
rank and file of the Democratic party
once more set at defiance.

ever suppressed by them. or withdrawn from circu-
laton Or that they had anything to do with the en-
hancemcnt of it's price. 1t will now be in order for
the circulating librarians to explain how they came

been suppressed: and to get quadruple prices for

be received ,again-unlcss in those houses where q

Mr.. c. j. IIolyoake has handed over the editorial

His health is much better; his sight partly restored

far as it is limited by the need of using another pair
