AFTER an interim of eight years, the
county treasurer's office passed on Mon
day, out of Democratic hands to the con
troll of d Republican official. While this
is the case, it is not expected that the
duties of the Office will be better per-
formed sunder the new administration
than it was under the old, for the retir>
ing treasurer, Mr.. E. L. Feeley, has been
a most competent and faithful public
servant, dischaIging the duties of the
office with great fidelity and watchful~
ness. He leaves the Office with the good
will OF the people of the county, as one
of their servants, whose trust was never
betrayed, and whose administration has
been characterized by strict attention
to duty.
The incoming treasurer. Mr. George
Robinson, is an agreeable and affable
gentleman-withw whom the public will
take pleasure in transacting business.
He has removed his family to the treas
ury building which they will occupy as
residence, and we bespeak for them
the same cordial reception which st
Clairsville usually gives to strangers
coming among them.
The new treasurer has designated Capt
Samuel T Dean. of Martins Ferry, as
his deputy. The Captain for many years
and until recently, was the postmaster
of his town. and never did an official
give more general satisfaction. He is
thoroughly competent for the work as
signed him, and will be found most
obliging official, and whole"souled So
cial gentleman.
The outgoing and incoming officials
have the CHRONICLES best wishes for
their success and prosperity.
