was definitely decided to postpone the an
nual Fair until October-7, 8, 8 and 10. The

Gentlemen On the 30th of June last l
addressed communication TO you with ref

Conduit road, with the request that should
be favored with written reply to my letter.
On the 10Th instant, In an interview had
with you, at your request, was informed
that of the % constables, whose appoint
ment is authorized by law, but 10 had quail
flied, leaving vacancy of 10. 1t seemed to
be conceded that 1t would be difficult TO Sc
lect from the list, as then constituted, suffi-
Gent number OF officers who could be relied
upon to give efficient service in the To-
caity referred to; but in the same con-
versation got the impression that 1t was
the intention of the County Commissioners,
acting upon the suggestions of their coun.
sci, ITO appoint enough constables to fill the
places of those failing to qualify" and to
make such appointments with special refer.
ence to the performance of the duties sug-
gested in my communication" and then to
authorize their counsel to confer with me
in reference to the selections to be made
from the completed list.
Since this interview have had no com.
munication directly from you, although l
have learned, 10 an indirect way, that 1t was
not your intention TO take any action In the
premises.
Under the circumstances, it seems to me
that the courtesy due from one public Off
cial TO another, in correspondence relating
to public affairs, would suggest that am
entitled TO be formally notified Of your final
determination In the matter, and II for any
cause you have declined to act upon the
suggestions made, that be made acquainted
with the reasons for your declinatlon.
Awaiting your answer to this letter, re.
main, respectfully yours,

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance OF our dear father
Hiram Stottlemyer, who died May 9th
1909, aged 50 years and days.
A precious one from US is gone,
A voice we loved Is stilled;
A place lie vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
Day by day we saw him fade,
And slowly sink away,
Yet In our hearts we often prayed
That he might longer stay.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful In thy grave 30 low,
Thou no more will JON our number,
Thou no more our aong will know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day OF life Is fed,
And in Heaven with Joy TO greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Gone but not forgotten.
BY his daughter, Ollie.
