the office, and within q few minutes
after assuming the post appointed Sam
M. Brewster and Miss Ethel Calfee his
deputies. They had been holding
those positions, the latter for some
time and the former since McGuire's
disappearance. 1t is stated on good
authority that County Clerk j. Oliver
Chambers, who lost a deputy by the
courts action, will appoint John Il.
Harwell, former county assessor, to
the vacancy occasioned by the ap-
pointment of Judge Greason. The
court, after consideration of the al
legations against Mcclure, which in
cluded his continued absence from his
Office and dereliction Of duty, declared
the office vacant and at once named
Judge Greason as McGuire's successor.
The appointment of the circuit clerk
was exceedingly popular among per-
sons who have business with the court
and who are acquitted with Judge
Greason's ability. He, himself, was
much pleased over his selection but
declared he would feel much better if
he was free from q severe attack of Ia
grippe, from whichhe has been suffer-
ing for some time. This action by the
court scarcely disturbed the usual pro-
gress of its functions, Deputy Brew
ster continuing without halt the clerks
work in the court room and Miss Cal
fee continuing the deputy's labors in
the clerks offices. This arrangement
will be continued for the present, at
least until Clerk Greason becomes &C
quainted with the multitude OF duties
and technicalities with which the Of
fee is burdened.-Poplar Bluff Repub-

In the latter part of December Thos.
R. Tolleson, manager of the B. I. F. &
@. 90. Store here and John Edmonds,
having decided to go into business for
themselves, rendered their resigna-
tions to the Company, to take effect
January LIST, 1918. Mr.. Tolleson has
been with the company seven years.
He came to Leadwood on June LIST,
1901, and opened up the B. 7. F. & @.
Co. Store here and served as manager
ever since. The splendid showing he
made at the close of business at the
end of each year, explains why he
remained in their service SO long. He
is n of the most up-to-date business
men in the county and can get his
share of the business in any locality
Mr.. Edmonds began as clerk under
Mr.. Tolleson On April Is, 1905, and
served in that capacity in a way that
caused his salary to reach the stand
ard mark, but having the right eye OF
a business for himself, the good salary
and position seemed no longer to at
tract him, consequently his resigna-
ton likewise went in and now Messrs
Tolleson and Edmonds will oon oper
up a general merchandise store in the
brick building next to Lang & Var
Lear's restaurant. We predict fol
them a successful business. Lynn Var
Lear took charge of the Company
Store the first of the year. Mr.. Var
Lear has clerked in the store for {
number of years aud understands the
work thoroughly, and, with his wide
business experience, he ought to be
> well fitted for the responsibility i'm
posed upon him as manager. The
new firm will be known as the Tolle'
son Mercantile Co. and will handle
everything necessary to make theil
, store complete and attractive .-Lead'
