sumo the duties of register Of deeds,
to which position he has been elect
ed. All the other officers will sue
coed themselves, and the above are
the only changes that will be made.
The county has an excellent set of
officials, and everything will go
along swimmingy for the next two
years.
G.. G. Williams, who has been
postmaster of Iron River, for the
past five years, has concluded that
he does not wan another term, and
has informed his friends that at the
expiration of his term in a few
weeks, that he will be ready to
retire. The people of Iron River
have united upon Harry Hall and
have given him their united en-
dorsement Mr.. Hall has been the
deputy in the Office for several years
and people are so we'll satisfied with
the way the Office has been conduct
id, that they wish to retain so much
the old force as is possible and have
united upon Mr.. Hall, and he will
perhaps be promoted to take charge
of the office. Mr.. Williams is one of
the old settlers of the county, is a
veteran of the civil war, and has
made a first-class official for Iron
River However he has felt greatly
the need of less combining work, and
has decided that the cares and re-
sponsibilities of official life would be
a mighty good thing to get rid of,
and has accordingly rendered his
resignation.
The Washburn Choral Club will
resume it's work next Wedne sday
night January, 7th. The club has al
ready done very good work, but of
course the work has not resulted as
successfully as it might have on ac-
count of the admission of new mem
bers every night. But after next
Wednesday night no new members
will be admitted and the work will
90 forward systematically and pro-
gressively. Mr.. Prowell is very de-
sirous of securing some additional
male voices before next Wednesday
night, and this is certainly a fine
opport unity to learn to sing correct
ly by note, and not only improve
| al h,,f no Of cicfa
to your city when your assistance is
needed. 1t is hoped that some more
male voices may be added at once.
A concert will be given by the club in
| the near future and Mr.. Prowell has
every reason to pre- dict very sue
cessfull concert. The concert re-
Gently given by the Vaughn
Choral Club of Ashland under his
direction was a great musical sue
cess. And while the Vaughn club
is an old c no, the old me mbers are
now III the minority and the club is
practically a new club and had
really less training than our club
will have by the middle Of February,
then it is expected the concert will
take place. Some of the best of pop
ular choruses will be given and our
citizens should lend their hearty sup
port to such an excellent musician
as Mr.. Prowell, who is willing to
come to us regularity and teach our
club, with no guarantee of any re-
enumeration for his efforts. Let all
be present at the next meeting.
