Death Of A. II. Stephens.

Gov. Beckham has appointed Hon.
W. II. May. prominent attorney OF
Prestonsburg. to the position OF Com
monwealth's Attorney for the dis
trict composed of Floyd, Knott and
Magoffin counties, where a vacancy
was recently created by the death of
Hon. Albert H. Stevens.
This appointment merits the ap-
proyal of the entire district. as Mr..
May is capable aud worthy lawyer
and gentlemn. He has risen by his
own efforts to an enyiable place in
the ranks OF the bar OF the Big
Sandy Valley. No young man in
this part Of the State has better pros.
poets for an eminent and useful ca
reer. Sober, energetic, honorable anC
able. there is no good reason to doub
that he will reach the heights that
hIs laudable ambition suggests.
This appointment is for two years
We are reliably informed that Mr.
May was already a prospective can
didate for the Democratic nominatio
fer Circuit Judge, to be voted 70
two years hence. 1t is understoo,
that he will continue in this rae
and it is safe to predict that he vii
be a winner.
