Official Changes.

The official changes at the court house
took place Monday when the old stepped
out and the new stepped in. Sheriff Stroup
delivered over the keys to his successor,
S. r. Maxwell, who moved his family into
the sheriff's house on Monday, the retiring
official moving into his new domicile on
Vine street. While there was no fortune
in the Sheriffs office in the last term, and
hasn't been for several prior terms, Mr..
Stroup performed his duties conscientiously
and well, and it can be said of him that che
made good Sheriff, and retires with the
respect of all.
a complete change has taken place in the
Commissioners Office, Messrs. Agnew,
Wolf and Emert retiring and Messrs. Har-
rison, Zuendel and Mcclellan assuming the
duties Of that very important office. The
retiring board has left good record for
economical administration of the affairs of
the county during the past years, having
made very many substantial Improvements
about the public buildings, bridges, ETC.,
and at the same time materially reduced
the tax millage and paying off considera-
bic portion of the county Indebtedness, and
of them it can be truthfully said "well
done" The new board organized Monday
by electing VIM. II. Harrison as president;
5. NJ. Henry, clerk; and NJ. A. Carringer,
solicitor; DR.. ]. c. Dunn, county physician;
Chas. Hunter is retained as janitor.
AT the County Home Mr.. and Mrs. +.
Wcnk are succeeded by Mr.. and Mrs. r. l..
Hill as Steward and Matron. The new in
cumbents found everything at the home in
perfect order for their reception, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wenk having conducted the institu-
ton in thorough, businesslikc manner,
and while feeding and clothing the inmates
well and looking after their every comfort,
have saved the county many times more
than their salaries amounted to as COM
pared with the former management of this
institution. They also retire with the good
opinion of all who have had to do with the
county home in the past three years.
AT the Prothonotary's office the efficient
at the same old stand for the next three
years. His past record is guarantee for
the future, and the people will receive the
same courteous treatment as OF yore when
they have occasion to do business at that
office.
Messrs. Carson, Haugh and Warden, the
retiring board of County Auditors, were
very efficient in the discharge of their du-
ties and deserve the thanks of the people
for the close attention they have heretofore
given to the interests of the taxpayers.
They are succeeded by Messrs. G. II. War
den, A. c. Gregg and j. p. Kelly, the first
named having been reelected. These gen
tlemen, with Jas. d. Davis as clerk, will in
few days begin the annual audit of the
county accounts.
J. b. Eden and II. II. Mcclellan, who
have had charge of the delicate and impor-
tant matter of drawing the juries for the
past three years, which they faithfully per-
formed, step aside for two other officials,
Ernest Sibble and Lewis Wagner, who are
not new at the business, having served "A
term in that capacity once before. With ].
f. Proper as clerk they are now engaged in
filling the jury wheel.
That the new officers will do their very
best in the discharge of their arduous duties
to merit the approval of the taxpayers and
citizens who have entrusted them with the
county's affairs we have every reason to be-
lieve, and in this effort we wish them the
best of success.
