The county officers elected in No
vember assumed their duties anew on
Tuesday. There are but two changes
that of sheriff and one county com
missioner. Mr.. Patterson retires from
the former office and Mr.. Hutchlns
from the latter. with well-earned rep
utations for efficiency and faithful
ness in their respective offices. Sheriff
FennoHy has appointed James I.
Cushman deputy for Ellsworth and
jailer. Mr.. Hooper, the retiring lailer,
leaves the office with the warm wishes
of a host of friends. All three of these

ship. Mr.. Cushman also has host OF
friends. The overcoming struggle
over the shrievalty is thus settled for
at least two years.

NIT. The warmest weather we have in
this section of the country comes, with
now and then an exception, in Septem.
Der, and then too the farmers are
busy preparing their ground for
wheat sowing. Then again there is
not enough of the product of the farm
and garden ripe enough to exhibit al
a Fair. The attendance at the Fair
last week showed that September is
not the month for holding our annual
Fair and We hope the management will
not again make the mistake it made
this year by repeating the September
Fair.

and his many noble traits af charac-

and was always ready to lend Il help
ing hand to the poor and needy. :and
taking his means into consideration
he did as much in the way of charity
as any man living in this city.
He was only thirty-eight years of
age-just in the prime of life. and had
he been spared his usefulness would
have been % appreciated as his
generous acts became known far and
near. but the Messenger of Death has
claimed him and his form now sleeps
that sleep that knows no waking. His
spirit has gone on to its reward and
