THE RETIRING OFFICERS.

On Monday, at noon, T. S. Slower,
county clerk. David Worst, sheriff,
and Hiram Lieurance, commissioner for
the third district, quietly stepped
down from their high Offices and r.
w. Duffy, Samuel Riggs and w. a.
Ross took their respective places. 1t
would be but scant justice to say that
the retiring officers have done their
work well. Every body i'm the county
knows "Timn Slower and everybody
knows that no better man for the
placenever stepped into or out of any
office. Always there, always genial
and approachable by the meanest
cemer, he mas conducted that difficult
Office for eight years with unquestion-
I'd integrity and with absolute accura-
cy and he retires from it now with the
very best wishes of every one who ha S
ever had any business to transact at
the clerks office.
David Worst retircs from the office
Of sheriff with almost equal prestige.
| While he has only held the office two
years, his administration of it has
been marked by strict adherence to
what he considered his duty and by
great personal dignity and courtesy
and it is safe to say that he leaves the
office with more friends than he had
when he entered it
Although an uneompromising Dem
ocrat, Hiram Lieurance was elected tc
the office of county commissioner in q
strongly Republican district, and the
the omp,iment has been well deserv'
ed AS practical business man, and
as hard worker for what he conceiv.
ed to be the best interests of the coun'
ty he has been a valuable member oI
| the board.
Little needs he said now Of the in
coming officers. They won theil
places by hard fight, but the smoke
of the battle is cleared away now and
the strife is SO nearly forgotten thai
they can take charge of their respec
tive offices with the hearty support o
all their constituents. 1t will seem ;
Iitt strange at first TO see the new
faces at the court house, but we will
get used to it after awhile. At present
while we are a little loath TO "speed
the parting" we are willing to "wel
the coming guests" and wish them !;
safe and quiet voyage over their Off
cial waters.
