appointed a Deputy Internal Revenue
Collector by Internal Revenue Col
lector Moore Of St. Louis. Mr.. Rey-
burn at once sent his resignation as
County Clerk to Gov. Major, who will
very likely appoint Arthur HUFF to Oil
Mr.. Reyburn's ~unexpired term. Mr..
Reyburn's official duties in his new
position will require considerable time
on the road, we understand, but he
will continue to make his home in
Ironton. The position pays $1100 q
year and expenses, while travelling.
Art Huff has shown an inclination
to be s'puffed up" ever since the
election returns showed that he had
defeated his Republican opponent
542 votes, but that isn't a circumstance
to the strutting he's been doing since
last Wednesday, morning, December
9, 1914, when he received a telegram
announcing that his daughter, Mrs.
Wesley NJ. Langdon, of Hornersville,
Mo-, had that morning presented her
liege lord with a bouncing baby boy.
Art and Jennie Huff grandparents
That makes me feel like we are all
getting old. Congratulations to all.
The Ladies' Social Club met Decem-
Der 9Th with Mrs. s. E. Jelly. After
the business session a very interesting
feature prevailed, as the hostess had
requested each member to bring some
heirloom or relic and give its history.
Many beautiful and quaintthings were
, shown, but the climax was when Mrs.
Trauernicht presented a book two
hundred and sixteen years old. Re-
freshments so nicely served were
very much enjoyed. With Mrs. Bishop
t at the piano, music and singing old
songs followed. Time came too soon
to bid the hostess and assistant hostess,
Mrs. Mckee, goodnight. Mrs. VIM.
A. Fletcher will entertain the Club
December %, 1914.
Judge E. M. bearing has issued a
writ of mandamus on a petition pre-
scented by attorneys for Ell. G.. Harri-
son some time ago, against County
Clerk w. W. Creath, and Judges
, Barnes and Duckett, commanding
them to assemble and recount the
vote cast for county Clerk at the
, November election, or show cause fol
. their failure to do so at the February
term of Circuit Court. Mr.. Harrison
alleges in his petition, among Other
things, that he was elected to the Of
= fee OF County Clerk over Sam D
Bryar by 26 votes. The impression
J seems to prevail with a great many
. people that the election resultin many
: cases might be effected by a recount
+, but we have been informed by com
: petent lawyers that none except the
contenders for the office of county
clerk, Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Harrison
can be effected by q recount, since nj
i legal procedure has been instituted
against any of the other candidates
9 declared to have been elected
Greenville Sun.
