GARRARD COUNTY
FISCAL
COURT MEETS With A new
PRESIDING OFFICER
And Other New Faces In Its Personnel.

The Garrard County Fiscal Court met
Tuesday, the first meeting of that body
since County Judge Clayton A. Arnold
was indicted into office in January of
this year, and notwithstanding this
was his first time tc preside over the
deliberations of that body, Judge Ar
nold's actions were marked by care
full and painstaking demeanor which
promises'for him one of the best oflic
ers the county ever had. The court
was made up as follows; Judge c. A,
Arnold presiding, Squire John n.
White, Lancaster district, Squire Lo-
gan Ison. Bryantsville district, Squire
John Ham, Buckeye district and Squire
John l.. Coldiron, who represents the
constituency of the Paint Lick district
of the county. County Attorney Green
Clay Walker was present in his capac-
ity of legal adviser to the Court, while
County Clerk J. w. Hamilton, affable
and efficient was on hand prepared to
take the minutes of their proceedings.
A casual observer dropping in upon the
proceedings would never have dreamed
that this was the first session of this
august body, as the business was trans
acted as smoothly and efficiently as if
the court had been working together
for years. We do not wish to convey

work Of the body precluded the giving
of the proper attention to the affairs
of the county. the reverse was the rule,
each and every matter was gone into
carefully, the various members eX-
pressing their opinion freely as to the
business transacted, showing an intelli-
gent acquaintance with the work at
hand. Each and every claim filed was
carefully gone over and inquired INTO
as 10 its accuracy and the court showed
conclusively that the affairs of the
county for the next four years have
been intrusted into good hands.
This was time prescribed at which d
Road Engineer and Supervisor should
De elected. There We're we understand
a goodly number of receptive candi-
dates" for this position, and besides
these, Messrs James A. Clark, J. c.
Bogie. Hayden Leavell and the present
incumbent, Mr. Cleveland Bourne. We're
applicants for this position, Judge
Arnold selected Mr.. Clark t. fill this
responsible position, and the court
readily acquiesced in his selection, and
in the event Mr.. Clark can stand the
examination which is required of all
road engineers, and which he doubtless
can very readily do, he will have charge
of the roads of the county for the next
four years. The examination must be
taken within the next ten days. The
landing of the plum by Mr., Clark will
meet with the approval of great ma
jOrity of the people of the county, for
aside from having always been a con-
sistent and hard working democrat,
ever ready and willing to help the
nominees of the party, Jim Clark is
clever gentleman, popular with all
classes irrespective of political affilia-
ton.
Col. A, d. Leavell, who has been
Live Stock Inspector for the county
for the past two terms, was reelected
| to that position. MIR. Leavell has made
faithful officer, giving much of his
time and attention to the work and
looking carefully after the duties in
cident to the position, and his appoint.
ment will also meet with popular APP
