NEW COUNTY
OFFICERS MONDAY
County Commissioners to Meet Men
day and Swear in new Officers
for Ensuing Term.

Next MONDAY Wnen tne DOArd OF
county commissioners meet the end
of the term of office for a number of
our present officers will be marked
and the beginning of new term for
the new officers who will serve us for
the coming two years. Those who
will step down and out of county
office entirely will be r. w. Smith,
treasurer; Dan'l Mclaughlin, county
attorney; Walt. Fountain, sheriff and
f. P. AXE, commissioner. These
men have served the county faithfully
and we'll. In some instances they have
served their constituents to their own
personal loss but have never forgotten
their duty and have always been
found ready to take care of the coun-
tvs business to the very best Of their
ability. We regret to see you go,
gentlemen, but such is the way of
politics. We hope your lot may be
cast in our community where we may
have the pleasure Of your association
in business and social way for
years to come.
The new officers elected to serve
for the next two years are F. w.
Boyd, sheriff; j. M. Owen, prose
cutting attorney; Chas. Casey, assessor
and tax collector; Milan Miller, COM
missioner. These men are we'll
known in the community land their
many virtues were too we'll extolled
I before election to necessitate further
comment here. A slight introduce
tion, however, may not come amlss.
f. w. Boyd, sheriff, has held various
Offices in Elmore county and has al
ways acquitted himself with credit.
AS sheep inspector he won his way
into the highest esteem of those in
charge of the department. As as
SCISSOR of Elmore county he conducted
the office to the entire satisfaction of
all factions and parties. and as one
good republican put it, the best as
SCISSOR we have ever had in Elmore
county," We are convinced that Mr..
Boyd will discharge the duties of his
Office without fear or favor. He is
above corruption and no one will be
exempt from the county strong box
who deserves to go there. We wish
Mr.. Boyd success.
AS prosecuting attorney, j. M.
Owen is the man most needed in Ell
more county at the present time. A
man who will be fearless in the dis
charge of his duties and will accept
the full responsibilities Of his office
without hesitancy. Mr.. Owen is q
man whose integrity no one questions.
His character is above reproach and
his every day life is open to investi-
CATION. He comes to an Office that
will not be easy to fill. Conditions
of the west are changing and it re-
quires men of nerve to bring about
many of the new conditions that are
coming with the settlement of the
west. Gambling holes, vice houses
and the open door are being crowded
out by people who demand law and or
der. Mr.. Owen will give us the full
protection of his office and in the
faithful discharge of his duties we
wish him abundant success.
Chas. Casey, assessor and tax col
lector, was elected from Pine Grove
where he has made his home for a
number of years. Mr.. Casey stands
highest in the regard of those who
know him best. His honesty and
fairness is well known and no one
who knows Charley Casey ever doubt
ed his word. He is quiet and unas-
suming in his every day life and has
won many friends who recognize in
him the qualifications of good as
SCISSOR and whose influence elected him
to the important office. We wish
him we'll and hope that his good name
will shine out brighter than ever be-
cause of the faithful discharge of the
duties of his office.
Milan Miller, commissioner Nc
one ever doubted that Milan would be
elected. His name meant victory
and his party recognized that fact
when he was nominated. Milan con-
Quoted fair and square campaign
and was elected fairly on his merits.
He stated that he wanted the Office or
his merits and not on political trick.
cry or influence. He made the cam.
paign on those principles and rar
like a race horse. Milan has lived il
this county for long time and knows
the needs and no one doubts for I
single instant that he will fail to d.
his duty. Success.
