The Outs and The Ins.

Several changes took place at the tenn
pie ofjustice on Monday, the first of the
year, when the new officials were "sworn
in." Judge Joseph NJ. Morgan takes the
place of Associate Perry c. Hill, whose
six-year term ended on Sunday, and he
retires with the good opinion Of large
circle Of friends, while Mr.. Morgan enters
upon his delicate duties with the con-
fidence of his host of friends that he will
discharge those duties conscien tiously.
faithfully and with fairness to all.
Sharp X. Maxwell steps from the
Sheritf's Office over into the Prothono'
tsry's apartments, which j. G. Geist so
gracefully and efficiently presided over
for three consecutive terms, and who re-
tires with the universal encomium, "well
DONE" Mr.. Msxwell's record as Sheriff
boosted him into the higher position with
q we'll nigh unanimous majority, and the
people are satisfied that he will meet their
every expectation in the discharge Of lis

well will retain the present efficient dep
uty, Miss Kate Arner, to assist him In
the work.
Will II. Hood is the one Democrat who
won out in the county last fall, and he
assumes the srduous duties Of the Sher-
IFS Office and will look after the peace
and dignity OF the county for the next
four years. Mr.. Hood has had consider
served as constable in the borough. and
his many friends have every confidence
that he will conduct the office with sb-
solute fairness and unpsrtiality toward
all, and that he will make good in all
respects.
In the Tressurers office there is new
man at the helm, George w. Holeman
the faithful custodian of the couniy's

treatment and efficient conduct will rule
in that office for the next four years un-
der Mr.. Brszee's administration ofaffairs.
But one change takes place in the
County Com missioners office, Joseph c..
Scowden succeeding John NJ. Zueudel on
the board, the other members being W.
III. Harrison and h. H. Mcclellan. This
office has been wisely administered not
years in the past, and with the addition
OF such level-headed man as Mr.. Scow-
den there will be no backward tendency
in the administration of county affairs,
ment along the line of good government
and economical management.
The only change in the board of county
auditors is the retirement of j. p. Reilly,
who is succeeded by s. Van Shields, and
with the two former members, A. G.
Gregg and &. II. Warden we have board
which for efficiency it would be hard to
excel in the county.
AH July 1SuCb dbu
A. M. Moore succeed Ernest Sibble and
Louis Wagner. Both of the incoming
officials are men of mature judgment and
levelheaded, and the Office will not suffer
in their hands.
Roy s. Braden, Barnett townships
wide-awake young civil engineer, sue
ceeds the veteran n. W. Clark as County
Surveyor. He will make good to the last
degree in that capacity, and we can say
to any of our citizens who may have need
of first class surveyor that Roy will be
found the right an TO put on the job.
He'll be there with the goods.
The County Commissioners organized
by eecting Mr.. Harrison president of the
board; S. NJ. Henry clerk for four years;
Truman L. Hill, steward at the county
home; DR.. ]. G. Dunn, physician; A. c.
Brown solicitor, and Chas. II. Hunter

To the 'outs" we extend sincere thanks
for honest services faithfully rendered,
and to the sins" happy New Year and
best wishes for complete success in the
performance of their arduous duties,
