R. B. HUFFAKER RESIGNS As
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY;
CAPT. SPESSARD HOLLAND
APPOINTED TO OFFICE

Hon. r. B. Huffaker has resigned
his position as Prosecuting Attorney
for Polk county, and Capt Spessard
Holland has been appointed by the
Governor to fill the vacancy thus
created. Mr.. Huffaker's resignation
is effective July 18th, and it is ex-
rected that Capt. Holland will be able
to secure his discharge in time to al.
low him to take up the duties of the
Office at that time.
1t is very gratifying to Capt. Hol-
lands large circle of friends here and
elsewhere in the county that he
should have received this appoint
ment, because, in the first place, he
richly deserves the honor, and he Is
thoroughly qualified to fill the place.
He was associated with Mr.. HUFF
faker in the practice Of law when he
was called to the service of the coun-
try, and cheerfully abandoned an ex-
cellent practice to take up soldiers
life. He made conspicuous record
for gallantry, and comes back to the
business of peace with distinguished
honor, and with broadening expert
ence that will be helpful to him in
his political career. Lakeland peo-
pie feel an affectionate interest in
him, aside from his own worth, be-
cause of the fact that he married one
of this city's most charming daugh-
tiers and greatest favorites, Miss Mary
Grower.
Mr.. Huffaker's reasons for resign
ing are based on the largely increas-
ing volume of his professional bust
ness, which has grown to a point
where it demands his undivided at
tention. He has made most capable
and conscientious Prosecuting Attor.

t.rement to private life most hon
