mously reelected secretary of the as
sembly, has been exceedingly busy for
these past several days, and yet with all
the multitudinous duties that devolve
upon him he is always pleasant, always
accommodating and delighted to do a
kindness. In performing the duties of
the office he has shown a capacity for
painstaking. intelligent work that marks
him as a man of special executive ability.
The right arm of the secretary has been
the assembly stenographer, Miss Fodie
NJ. Buie She is one of the finest stenog-
raphers in the State. She was official
stenographer of the Medical Society
which met here short while ago. She is
one among many of the bright young
women of the State who have by their
own exertions made their way through
the normal and industrial college at
Greensboro and fitted themselves to take
care of themselves in the conflict of life.
Such women deserve honor and they are
inspirations to others.
