SUPERVISORS HAVE BUSY
SESSION.

The LeHore county board OF
supervisors were quite a busy
body at their January session,
which occupied three days Of the
first part of the week, final adj
jOurDment taking place on Thurs
day. The full proceedings will
appear in our next issue.
Hon. j. l.. Haley, of Itta Bena,
was elected president Of the board
for the ensuing term, and it is UNI
doubted that he is peculiarly fitted
for the head Of the board, owing
to his long experience with mat.
tiers Of this nature.
A change was made in the at
torneyship for the board, Hon. r,
Y. Pollard having been elected in
the stead Of Hon. Z. D. Stone,
who has so ably served the board
in that capacity ever since his res
idence in Greenwood. However,
Mr.. Pollard is equally as well
fitted for the position, and will
make the board a faithful at
torney.
There was quite a number of
applications for the road COM
misslonerShip OF LeHore county,
but the fortunate applicant was
Hon. j. d. billiard, Of SChIater,
who was a candidate for sheriff
in the recent primary. Mr.. Dill
lard will make the county a
splendid commissioner, and a
great Improvement is naturally
expected under his administra-
ton.
The Bank Of Lehore was Sc
Iected as the county depository,
theirs being the best bid submit
ted. This staunCh bank is also
the municipal depository.
Inc salary Tor the ONCE OF
county prosecuting attorney was
fixed at the same rate, $l200.O0
per annum. W. C. Chatham was
reelected tender Of the Ashwood
Bridge, and c, c. Money as bridge
inspector.
Chas. l.. Esper was awarded
the contract Of keeping county
poorhouse for another term.
W. 7. Davis was reelected
court house j~anitor and tender of

Several other minor matters
were disposed of, a full report of

MAYOR RAY FOR RE-ELEC.
TION,

We direct your attention to the
announcement in this issue of
Mayor Latham Ray, who is seek
ing reelection at the hands Of the
voters of Greenwood.
This is Mayor Rays first term,
having defeated Mayor Montjoy
in the election two years ago, and
has served to date a little over
one year. This election over so
formidable a candidate as ex-
Mayor Montjoy demonstrated Mr..
Rays qualifications as a mixer
and vote-getter, and was an ex-
preston of the confidence placed
in his ability to properly serve the
best interests of Greenwood in
that capacity.
MIR. Ray states that he is run
ming on his record as mayor and
justice of the police court, where
the facts speak for themselves.
That while the present admins
tration has not set a precedence
in improvements, Yeti has proven
itself a conservative, business
like administration, and that he
has given every detail his closest
personal attention, He points to
the splendid manner in which the
law has been enforced, and the
|Kpod government Greenwood has
6njoyed during his term of office.
Mr.. Ray is splendidly capaCitated
for the office which he has ably
filled since his in~cumbency, and
expects to call on all the voters
in the city before the holding of
the municipal primary election
and present his claims, for which
he asks a careful consideration.
