the Peace from this the second
district of the county. The
Board atits meeting last Wednes-
day, appointed. under authority
granted by law, Mr.. Beverly
Matthews to fill the unexpired

good one and is proper and aD-
propriate. Mr.. Matthews will De
indicted into Office on the 1st of
the new year and his selection
to FL the unexpired term is uni
Yersally commended.
The question Of selecting a suc-
cessor for Judge Wakefield, who
was recently nominated for re-
election in November, is one that
the officers of the party in this
county are considering. It is
claimed by some that another
primary should be held at once,
while others contend that the
vacancy should not be provided
for until it occurs which will not
be until after January 1st. The
matter will probably be disposed
Of satisfactorily to all concerned.
It is understood that several viii
be candidates for the position
among them being Capt. H. d..
Foote, Judge Flood, the present
incumbent, j. FL Kinnebrew and
others.

The sox party given by the
Library Association Friday even
ing was a great success. The
Public Library movement is one
which meets with the hearty ap-
probation of the greater number
of the people of Columbus and it
is not surprising that a good
crowd should gather Friday
night. After depositing their
sox at the door visitors were
shown into the Library's splen-
did apartments, where they were
at liberty to spend the evening as
it suited them.
A short but interesting pro-
gram was had. Rev. d. Ii. Og-
den and Rev. T. W. Lewis both
made interesting addresses, and
Miss Amelia Mahon and Miss
Edna johnson wonfor themselves
applause by spirited reel
tations. After the program had
been completed refreshments
were served in the armory. TIE
Association is to be congrata-
lated upon the success of this
entertainment.

CHICAGO =. celebrated the hun
dredth anniversary of it's existence,
a few weeks ago. That mighty
city, with population approaching
two million souls, could grow up by
an inland lake in such compara-
lively short time is marvellous to
contemplate and history can show
nothing like it. The phenomenal
development of the west has made
it possible, and Chicago has had
many far seeing business men,
giants in the commercial world, who
have known how to make their city
profit by the growth of the country.
