The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1914-01-06
A NEW REGIME
OF County Affairs Com.
menced Monday.

off last Monday with its new off
cials elected at the last Novem-
Der election. County Judge Shack
elford succeeds himself, and the
reputation that he has made as
presiding officer is very gratifying
to him and his many friends, and
we have no doubt that he will bel
just as efficient in his second
term.
Mr.. R. B. Terrill succeeds him
self, and will have in his office
the very able deputies who have
been with him in his last term.
Mr.. Terrill has been satisfactory
official, and he will not suffer
from the reputation that he has
made by his second term.
Mr.. David McCord surrenders
the office of Sheriff to Mr.. Van
Benton. Mr.. McCord conducted
the office of Sheriff in d very sat
isfactory way to the people and
and he and his deputies were al
ways. polite, agreeable and accom-
modating to those who had busi-
ness in that Office, and he leaves
it with the good will of all. The
incoming Sheriff, Van B. Benton.
is a farmer, and a man of the
people, and has gained the repu-
tation for strict integrity in his
dealings, and by reason of his
large acquaintance with the pee-
pie, he will be enabled to dis
charge the duties of the office in
a manner entirely satisfactory to
them.
Hon. o. P. Jackson turns over
the office of county attorney to
Hon. R. H. Crooke. Each of
these gentlemen have held this
office and have left their impress
on the people.
Mr.. John holland surrenders
the office of County Superintend-
ent to Mr.. H. H. Brock, and in
this instance it is like the swap
ping of new milled dollars. Both
of these gentlemen are accom-
plished teachers, and know the
needs of the common school
teachers, and we feel assured that
Mr.. Brock will be as energetic
in behalf of the common schools
as his predecessor.
Mr.. P. S. Whitlock who made
a phenomenal race for Assessor,
both in the primary and in the
final election, will maintain the
reputation which he has made
for himself by long years of hon
orable and upright conduct. And
the people may rest assured of
fair and courteous treatment at
his hands. He succeeds a very
pleasant official, Mr.. Shelby Tay-
IlOr. who has given satisfaction to
the people in the conduct of his
office.
Mr.. N. B. Jones, who has al
ways been popular with the peo-
pie, vacates the office of Jailer,
and is succeeded by Mr.. Morgan
Taylor, a kind hearted gentleman
who will see that the prisoners
are dealt with humanely.
Sid Winkler becomes Coroner
of the county, and will serve the
people four years in that capacity
unless, perchance, his term is in.
terrupted by his trial for murder
which will come up at the ensu
ing February term.
i We refrain from personal men
tion of the numerous Magistrates
and Constables who also took
their office the first of the year.
All of the foregoing officers
have been selected by the people
and are the choice of the people
expressed at the polls. The posi-
tions which they occupy are
places of public trust and conf
dence, and we doubt not that al
4 of them will make a most dill
gent, praiseworthy effort to con
duct the affairs of Madison coun
ty with efficiency. Personally VIZ
have for them very high regard
and as officials of the county VIZ
hold them in high esteem. Wher
