THE COURT HOUSE GANG.
New Officers Take Their Places-old
Ones Retire.

Tuesday, Jan. 9th, the new county
officers elected at the Nov. election,
began their duties as public servants.
All day the court house was quite
alive with friends congra tulating the
new occupants and pretty blue with
smoke offered up in honor of success.
The county clerks desk is occupied
by L. X. Kohlman, and Louie seemed
as happy and jovial as if he were
trying to sell country merchant a
sack of prunes. However, he didn't
talk grocery shop but stuck strictly
to business, learning to file the many
kinds of instruments which are COM
mon to his office. The deputies
chair was filled by Mr.. Henry Price.
Price is one of those superior indus
trials who let's the other fellow do
the talking while he saws wood. In
him Mr.. Koelman has very efficient
deputy.
Mr.. l.. D. Elliott will continue to
hold position in the clerks Office.
While the clerks Office will be looked
after in the best possible manner dur
ing the next two years, still it is a
well known fact that it will never be
in better hands than during the past
management of Clerk Jos. W. Nilsson
and Deputy A. R. Frisbie. In losing
these the county certainly loses two
of its most faithful and COMPETENT
officers.
The treasursr's office makes no
change. Mr.. Cassidy succeeds him
self and he will retain his former
deputies, Messrs. C. j. Fredrickson
and Chas. o. Shaeffer. This is well,
for when we have good efficient
trusty officers why make change.
The sheriffs den is in the same
shape. Sheriff Hawkins will continue
to handle that part of the county's
business for the next two years, and
he will be assisted by his former
deputy, Mr.. V. S. Simon, of Florence.
They make good pair and the coun-
ty's interests is safe in their hands.
Mr.. Julsus McCandless, fusion com
missioner, succeeds himself.
In the office of superintendent of
schools the happy smile of Prof. ].
81. Hanks was encountered. Ex-
Superintendent Wood, who did better
service than he was given credit for
by his Democratic friends, was there
making out final reports and helping
the new occupant onto the secrets of
the order. Prof. Hanks is not slow
in catching on and the teachers
and others with interest in the
schools may congratulate themselves
on our new superintendent.
In the assessors Office VIM. Bridges
of Coal Creek, has taken charge of
affairs. Of course the duties of this
Office are peculiar to themselves and
few men know much about the as
sessing business. Mr.. Bridges is new
at the business, but he is no newer
than Mr.. Henry Lloyd was when he
began service some dozen years ago,
and the county never had a better
assessor. Mr.. Bridges will no doubt
come out all right. Mr.. Henry Lloyd
has been installed as deputy, which
is a very good arrangement.
The county coronership passes to
DR.. W. 7. Little, and the doctor is
now ready for duty and will on the
shortest notice hold an inquest while
you wait. The fees will be moderate
and satisfaction guaranteed. DOC"
knows how to handle live man and
we dare say he will make no mistake
with the dead.
The honor of being county survey
or falls to Mr.. John Coon, Jr., of
Florence, who, if he can plat out
ground as well as he can draw
pictures, will be all right in his new
station.
The county is all right on this new
deal, and to speak in the language of
the street it may well be said that
Old Fremont has drawn = full hand
of high trumps.
