ord OF Halsey B. Clarke OF Richmond and

only By the venerable official but also by

tically suspended and Mr.. Clarkes hand

bers OF the Carolina cornet band and
State Senator Kenyon who was chairman
OF the committee OF arrangements, col
lected the crowd on the lawn In front Or
the house and started the more formal
part OF the days exercises. The senator
spoke briefly regarding the long period
OF efficient and faithful services which
Mr.. Clarke has rendered as town clerk
and said that he thought that Richmond
had been unusually fortunate In It's selec-
tion OF town clerks for nearly century.
He reminded his hearers that the town
had had but two clerks during the past
80 years. Reynolds Hoxsie had served In
that capacity for 40 years. and then, as
he did not wish 10 serve again. requested
that Mr.. Clarke be elected as his success
sor.
CONGRATULATIONS AND PRESENTS.
Senator Kenyon then introduced as the
speaker OF the occasion Rev. Warren
Dawley OF Richmond. who not only paid
a glowing tribute TO Mr.. Clarke as an offi-
cial OF sterling worth but also called at
tention 10 his splendid personal charac-
ter, the beauty of his home life. the re-
spect which was paid him by all who
know him and the good which the exam
pie or his life had done for many of the
younger people of the town.
