Judge w. c. Atkins Reappointed.

Governor Plaisted has announced the
nomination of VIII c. Atkins the
present judge of the Gardiner muniei-
pal court. to continue in that capacity.
He WAS first appointed two years ago.
Following the resignation of Judge Lar
raoee. his term had not expired, but
the question was raised whether legis-
lation in regard to the Gardiner court
by the last Legislature did not abol-
ish all of the old court, and to be on
the safe side it was thought prudent
to re-appoint him. During his two
years term, Judge Atkins has shown
great Judgment in disposing of cases.
which came up for him to pass judg-
ment on and all those who have had
dealings with him, say he is a man Of
sterling character. and well liked by
all. and his disappointment is very
satisfactory TO residents of this city.
