AUGUST HOrStmann will
Be County Assessor

After weeks of speculation as
to the outcome, the county COM
missioners on Thursday afternoon
ended the suspense by selecting
August Horstmann from some two
dozen applicants for the position
Of county assessor to fill the vac
ancy caused by the death of the
late James M. Culley.
Mr.. Horstmann has long been a
resident of Empire and is well
known and highly respected citizen
and in every way competent and
capable to fill the office to which
he has been appointed.
From the long list of applicants,
nearly all of whom were worthy, it
was difficult for the commissioners
to decide ON successor. While
some Of the applicants will be
much peeved of the result, it must
be conceded that the commiss-
toner's have selected an honest
man and one who will attend to
the duties of the Office in a manner
satisfactory to the general public.

entertaining stories of the early

presidential elections have been held
and only two ex-presidents survive.
During the lifetime of MIR. Griswold
many great events of history have
transpired which the speaker called to
the hearers attention, including the de.
velopmeut of our own community and
for which the Elder himself was given
credit for the important part he played.

Miss Heather Hill of Idaho
Springs and Mr.. Kenneth Moscript,
now of Homestead, Oregon, are
to be married March IA. at the
home of friends in Baker G ty,
Oregon, by an Epise opal clergy
man. After the ceremony will
come a honeymoon trip an d
then for the pretty bungalow home
which Mr.. Moscript has furnished
at Homestead. where he is en-
ployed with the Halstead Lindsey
company.
Miss Heather is we'll known
among the best people of Idaho
Springs, having spent all her life
in this county, and is known as a
delightful companion and girl of
sterling qualities and happy dis
position. Into Miss Hills great
happiness enters the regret at
leaving so many people who she
believes have been the best friends
ever a girl could have. Mr.. Mos
cript is also native of the CON-
munity and young man well re-
spected. After finishing his high
school work he entered the navy
and travelled to all parts of the
globe, which is in itself a liberal
ed icstion. Miss Hills the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. David Hill, for
many years we'll loved citizens of
the community. Mr.. Moscript is
the son of Mr.. E. M. Moscript the
we'll known iumberman and one of
the city's most influential citizens
in every way.
The marriage will be th e
elimination of friendship since
childhood, and real friendship,
after all, must underlie marriages
if they are to be hapdpv ones.
