the county seat of the new county of
Lee had hoped to have a big celebra-
tion in honor of the real beginning
OF the new county whose officers will

done. 1t had been expected that the
appointments of the officers would
have teen made earlier, but various
things prevented this being done until
a few days ago. However, there will
be some sort of a celebration and Gov
crnor Glenn will be invited to be pre-
sent. it is stated.

ly to see Thomas X. Bruner, the wide
ly known secretary of the state board
of agriculture, who has so long been
i'll at his home and whose condition
for a number of weeks has been, it
may be said, critical. Mr. Bruner has
grown weaker day by day. Members
of his family had hoped he wo4id BE-
come strong enough to be taken to
Baltimore in order that his case might
there be studied and an operation be
performed if found advisable, but it
was found necessary for the physician
