COUNTY OFFICIALS
BEGIN NEW TERM
NEW INCUMBENTS IN OFFICE OF
SHERIFF AND STATES ATTOR-
NEY-BANY HOLD OVERS.

With the beginning of the new
year there has been a change eff
fected in the list of county officers.
two of whom were sworn in to their
regular duties today after filing
their bonds with the county commits
sloners who are in session for the
purpose accepting the bonds of all
qualified officers elect The list in
cludes the positions of sheriff, reg
ister of deeds, treasurer, county sup
erintendent of schools, coroner,
county commissioner and states at
torney.
Only two immediate changes have
been made, namely, that of sheriff
and states attorney. Walter Dyce
succeeds sheriff E. A. Keller whose
term nas expired by limitation. HI.
H. Holdridge comes into the office
of States attorney, following Geo.
r. Farmer.
With only two exceptions, besides
the rotation mentioned above, all
county officers formerly incumberts
oi ouSSSSuluS tHbInS6lN6S. Inc GX-
ceptions are those of coroner and
auditor. The new auditor comes to
the work of his office on March 4;
the nominee for coroner failed to
qualify hence DR.. r. S. Westaby con-
tinues to that line of county work
until sanction for his continuance in
office is legally made or until such
time as new appointment is made.
Both Geo. r. Farmer and K. A..
Keller have capably fulfilled their
sworn duties respectively as states
attorney and sheriff The two men
who succeed them are well and fav-
orably known and the people of the
county can place the utmost conf
dence in each. Mr.. Holdridge has
held the states attorneyship in prior
years hence is familiar with the la
bors that devolve upon him. Mr..
Dyce is a young man of excellent
qualities and should he measure up
to the caliber of the officer he sue
ceeds he is sure to return to his sec
ond term by the vote of large
electorate.
