Members Of the Senate Finance

II. A. Moore Succeeds Chas. A. Nc
Charen as Postmaster, And is
Now in Charge.

Oxford is today changing post
mastdrs. Henry A. Moore has been
appoinSed acting postmaster, vice
Charles A. McCharan, resigned. Both
the outgoing and incoming postmas-
tiers have been identified prominently
in the affairs of Oxford and Lafayette
County for many years.
Acting Postmaster H. A. Moore
who succeeds McChsran, is considered
one of the most efficient clerical ex-
ecutives in Oxford, and his experience
and executive ability, create the opin-
ion that he will make very efficient
postmaster. He was assistant post
master at Oxford from 1904 to 1908.
From 1908 to 1919 he served as depu-
ty clerk in the United States district
court here, and since then has been
serving as one of the deputies in the
chancery clerks office of Lafayette
County.

YOUNG LAWYER
OPENS OFFICE.

Mr.. Taylor H. McElroy has just
opened up his law Office in Oxford,
and although Oxford seems to be sup
piled with lawyers, we predict for Mr..
McElroy g success, because besides
being we'll prepared he is possessed
with determination perseverance, ard
a congenial nature which things ere
prerequisite to young mans success.
Taylor, as he is familarly known,
secured his early training in the high
school at Burgess and Oxford. Then
he taught school thereby learning
more of human nature. He was
success as teacher. however he
realized that his field of usefulness
was limited unless he made further
preparations and as no ambitious man
is satisfied with ordinary success, he
entered the University taking his
bachelors degree. Just as he had
finished, his country had need of him,
so he followed "Old Glory to France.
After he had done his bit he came
home and again entered the Unlver-
sity and took his degree in law.
