obvious reasons. of G. B. Wiseman, it
becomes the duty of the County Com
missioners to FIJI by appointment the

In the mean time the position is filed
by Mr.. T. N. Stone. who was duly mp
pointed Deputy Clerk by Mr.. wiseman.
aud, as such, is legally authorized to
perform the duties OF the Office until the
vacancy is filled by the Board OF County
Commissioners
The position is one of great impor-
lance, and it behooves the Commission.
ers to use due diligence in the selection
OF one to fill this important position, to
the end that none but q man Of we'll
known honesty and integrity be placed
in charge of the Clerks Office for the
remainder Of the term, which expires
Oh the 6rst Monday in next january.
We learn that there ure several appli-
cants for tie position, but as the Chair-
man of the Board, Mr.. John r. Brad
ley. is absent and wilEprobably not be
here at the June meeting. the appoint
ment of Wiseman's successor may be
postponed until the July meeting; and
as the present Deputy is fully competent
to perform the duties of the office in the
interim, and In view Of the importance
OF placing the right man in the posi-
ton, this will probably be done.
