and will be as follows: Millett, the old
member of the board of county commls-

place of Mr.. Bennett, Mr.. Edgar Dean
taking bis place. Willis Bennedict takes
the place of Mr.. John Allibone, John M.
North takes the place of our A. ?. Dixon,
who has been the sheriff for the past three
terms. Seeing that Mr.. Dean is an old
settler, and the Messrs. Parke and Brand
hagen hold over, there is no fear that any
jobs can be put up on the board, but that
they will labor as before, to keep warrants
at par. This paper wishes all a happy
New Year, smooth and safe sailing for the
next two years.
