The County TO be Congratulated.
Pursuant to call the Commissioners
of the county met yesterday afternoon,
Mr. Millett i'm the chair. n. H. Young
was present and rendered another res
ignation to the board, and it not hav-
ing been settled whether or not he was
commissioner, the document was
couched IN language to meet the occa-
sion. The resignation was accepted
and +. w. Eakin appointed to fill the
vacancy in the eastern district. The
board then adjourned to 8 o'clock p.
m., at which time they met and the
resignation of g. j. Millett was pre-
sented and accepted and Chas. NJ. Carr,
of Fairbank, appointed to fill the va
cancy. Both Messrs. Eakin and Carr
were duly sworn in and are now act
ing members of said board. This re-
suit vindicates Messrs. Hoover and Me-
loon in the position which they as
sumed, and their wisdom and firmness
is to be commended. The newly ap-
pointed members are gentlemen of in
tegrity and fine business attalnments,
and we believe that the board as now
constituted will prove model one
If there has been hard feeling engen-
dered over this unfortunate matter, we
trust it will be forgotten and the af-
fairs of the county move along
smoothly.
Tuesday next will be "all fools

Ducks are returning, and the nim-

proprietor of the Gazette, called upon
