NAME THEIR men.
County Officials Select Oepu-
ties and Assistants.
BUT FEW CHANGES MADE
Captain Bell Gets a Job With
Mr.. Kerr.

The newly elected county officials who
will take their respective offices next
Monday are busy looking into the details
of the work and preparing to take charge
OF their offices. With one or two exceD-
tons all of the deputies and Office help
have been selected, but there are no sur
prises in the selections and so far as
known no broken promises" have been
reported.
Sheriff Simmons, who was reelected, is
the only official who has not fully made
up his mind as to the assistants he win
employ. The appointment of jailor has
already been made, but the most import
ant place in the gift Of the sheriff is that
of undersheriff, the position which has
been held by Syl Dunkin. 1t is a re-
sponsible position and one in which there
is demand for good clerical work. Mr..
Simmons will not say who is to get this
position. 1t is understood that ex-Mayor
Cox and Mr. Dunkin are the two candi-
dates for the place, and it is reported that
Mr. Cox claims to have been promised
the position, but Mr.. Simmons says he
has promised it to no one as yet. Those
about the court house expect Mr.. Dunkin
to remain. Mr.. Simmons other appoint
ment, that Of court bailif, is not so i'm
portant a position as the others, and it
is thought the present bailiT viii remain
in charge of the position.
John NJ Chain, county clerk-elect, has
practically appointed two Of his men. w.
L
be Mr.. Chains deputy, and Frank ].
Ford will be retained as assistant. These
two gentlemen have been with Mr.
Denny, and are said to be thoroughly
competent in every respect. Mr. Chain
will need another man part of the time,
but the county commissioners will prob
ably insist on naming the extra man.
J. NJ. Kerr, who viii be installed into
the Office Of register of deeds, has named
]. E. Farrow as his deputy, and Captain
r. S. Bell, an old soldier, as his assistant
Mr.. Farrow is the present incumbent of
the Office, but Mr.. Bell goes IN as a new
man. Miss Mabel Ayers, the efficient
copying clerk who has been with Mr.
Canadian, win be retained, and Miss Gail
Campbell, daughter of Charles Campbell,
will be appointed as Miss Ayers assist
ant. Mr.. Kerr's selections are well spo-
ken Of and will give him an efficient force
to handle the immense amount of work
coming to the register of deeds office.
Dan Boone, the treasurer-elect will not
take charge of his office for nine months
yet, but it is understood his appointments
have been decided upon. He will retain
Mr.. Lloyd's present force, which include
o. W. Jones, the well known accountant
and bookkeeper, and l. y. Wilson, VINO
Is also very thorough and competent |
man. c. y. Cartwright is named by the !
county commissioners, and it is said he |
will retain his place in the Office.
The coroner and surveyor-elect will en-
deavor TO do their own work without the |
aid of a deputy. Mr. Brown, the sur
veyor, viii probably be kept pretty busy, |
but the new coroner thinks he can pull |
through all right without any assistance. |
Nobody expects to see or hear Of any |
other district court stenographer than |
Frank Deem, who has handled the posi-
ton so scceptably under Judge Dale He /
will be re-appointed beyond question,
though the official announcement has not
been made.
