+.
known has just returned from
Washington. D. c. being callad
there by Congressional Rsece,
where he accepted the much
sought position of U. S.. Shipping
Commissioner at New York.
Little is known here about his
duties in such office. 1t is said
! that he will have a large office
force under him, and ofcorse we
know that it takes a hustler like
Herb to hold down things in the
largest port in the world.
But we confidentially predict
that he will prove equal b the
task and that Uncle Sam will be
pleased with his services.
He is to well known to the peo-
pie of Hancock Co.. to need COM
ment here, on every handlcomes
expression of approval of his ap-
poin,ment but with regret that
he is to leave US. There is no
need to dwell on his big heart
and his long public servire for
his fellow citizens, we are aware
of that.
We believe we can trrthfully
assert that a more worthy gent
leman could not have been found
in the whole of East Tennessee.
