They Will Qualify and. Take Their
Positions Monday.
On Monday next the officers elected in No
vember last will qualify and enter upon the
discharge OF their duties. On that day the
new county commissioners will probably hold
their first session. Appended we give the
names of the new officers:
For the first commissioner district COM
prsing the south end of the county, j. A.
Gray, ESQ.,, who lives near Colgate, is the now
commissioner, and will serve for one year.
For the second commissioner district, conf
prising the central portion Of the county Stein
H. Nelson, who lives near the Sheyenne river,
is the new member.
For the third district, comprising the north
end Of the county, Levi G. Goperud is the
commissioner.
The above gentlemen are each representa-
tive men of their particular localities, and were
nominated and elected as commissioners who
will give the county wise and economical ad-
ministration. They are all farmers, and we
doubt not will use their best endeavors to in
augurate such measures as will prove advan-
tageous to the people Of the county generally.
The new register Of deeds and county clerk
will be Nj. E. S. Seymour. Mr.. Seymour has
been connected with the land business, more
or less, since his arrival in Dakota, about three
years since, and possesses all the qualifications
necessary for successfully administering the
office. For the present we believe he will dis
pense with the services OF deputy.
The new sheriff will be Mr.. b. Walden, a
farmer, formerly of Piper City. He bears the
Of being honest and capable, and will fill the
Office with credit to himself and the county.
L. A. jacobson will handle the treasurer's 3
Office. He has been the wheat buyer at Hope
for the past three years. and probably is as we'll
known as any man in the county. Hs has
good business qualifications, and will handle
the finances of the county creditably.
Probably the most responsible office in the
county is that of district attorney. This posi-
ton will he we'll and ably filled by Mr.. T. K.
Hulme, one Of the most prom. sing young law
yers in the Territory. Mr.. HuIme is native
of Philadelphia, from which city he came to
Dakota about two years ago. Since his ar
rival he has become dessrvedly popular with
all classes of our people, owing to his gentle
manly department aud obliging manners. In
the late election, though All independent can
didate, he received the largest majority Of any
gentleman who had a competitor. We predict
that the Office will he ably filled.
Ole J. Cultum, the new assessor, is resident
Of the north end Of the county. He is a Nor
wegian by birth, possesses a good education.
and will doubtless perform the duties of his
Office satisfactorily to all.
H. L. Smith, the present incumbent, will
| continue to fill the Office of probate judge.
Henry Thumm, is the new coroner He is a
| resident Of Pickert township.
| &. w. Winchell will be the county superin-

cipal of the CasseIton public school, and is

to the schools and the duties Of his new posi-
! ton.
Charles W. Conner is the county surveyor.

i've Office, there will be no change in it.
