There is something pathetic about this
retirement from office-after all. 1t will
be sad to see Al Reese and Fred Dennis
and Miss Redall and Miss McKimmons
and Miss Adams wipe their pens for the
last time and with a sigh take the ele-
yator for the floor below: it will be dole

OF the Spectat tors will suffuse with tears

last forenoon will be sad and grueSome
one. Memories of the past and its s., coo

like mosquitoes in a Jersey swamp on a

lovingly, oh so lovingly, on the furniture
in his private apartments. With what re-
luctance will he let his glance wander
from the seat where he has interpreted
law toward the door from which he will
emerge private citizen. AS he passes
the door of the office of the clerk of the
supreme court how intensely he will think
of the last two lines of the poem of

stated that the choice of the party had

Clerk D. c. Dunbar has selected his
charge of the work in the criminal por-
ton of the court; Mr.. Felt will wait upon
Judge Cherry in the capacity OF deputy
clerk and George Blair will attend to
dition to this, Blair will work in the
lower Office at other odd jobs while he
is resting Mr.. Dunbar will divide his
own time between the lower and upper
business in both branches of his office.
The names of the force of clerks is nor
yet known, but Miss Ferguson, who was
so useful around Democratic county
headquarters last fall, will be one of the
number and a better selection could not
have been made.
Miss Phoebe Fletcher will manipulate
the typewriter in the office of the
sheriff Joe Eidredge viii be chief
deputy, while Andy Burt and Boman
Cannon will be among the deputies.
Major D. L. Levy will have charge of the
jail at night and Joe Raleigh III the day
ti..,o. In this connection it may be well
to state that Sheriff Hardy will be all
ready to turn over the office in good
shape on Monday next and that the rec
ords will be complete in every par
ticular. The books are in fine condition
and Hardy is justly proud of the same.
In the distribution of the county COM
missioners it is believed that Frank Arm
strong will be chairman and that Mr..
Hall will be given the charity branch of
the work. He is here in the city and
has more time to attend to the labor in
volved than has Mr.. Armstrong. Mr..
Rawl;ns will have a great deal to do
with the county roads and being familiar
with the needs of the people and every
foot of ground in the county is specially
adapted for the work 1t is not probable
that the position of clerk. now occupied
by Mr.. Emery, will be filed as the place
is sinecure and utterly unnecessary
