THE NEW OFFICIALS.

On Jan. 4th the new county
officers will take their official seats.
Judging from the array Of nam es it
will be a disappointment to most
people if the affairs of the county
are not we'll administered during
the next two years. With many
of these officials the Aeantha differs
politically, but as individuals we
are glad to enroll most of them as
friends, and predict they viii per-
form their duties faithfully.
J. E. Wamsley, as representa-
tive, is well known as gentleman
of thorough educationNaud shrewd
abilities a man whose opinion of
right and wrong are clear and
correct, and when he once con
cludes ne is in the right no power
can cause him to swerve from
what he consider his duty. The
affairs of Teton county will be well
taken care Of by him at the state
capitol.
The same and more might be said
Of Q. G. Cooper, senator elect. A
man of stauch character, honor and
ability, he will have few peers on
the floor Of the senate, His per-

his county and these he has never
been known to neglect. With
these two bic men, each represent

of Teton county should surely be
recognized,

Thos. Dean, his jailor, has never
