Gently purchased Green Brothers
Store and is doing we'll. We took

We attended the opening of the
Circuit Court Monday. Many of the
jurors were excused on account OF
being too busy farming. Sheriff
Baker placed us on the panel and
we are now part Of the Circuit
Court machinery. Judge Calvird
is making a fine record as Judge and
Circuit Clerk Swarens is making a
first class circuit clerk and his wife
is the ever accommodating deputy
Sheriff Baker is the busiest man
around the court house. Lots of
work and he keeps right up with his
duties. Everybody is mighty
pleased with the record that the
sheriff has made during his term.
No better man lives in the county
than Joe Baker and he may be called
TO another and better position in the
near future.
