Will your New Year’s resolu
tions stand tho wear and tear of
1001?
Tho session of the Georgia
Legislature cost the state $00,213,
or $701 less than thedast one.
Tho year 1000 was all right for
Cedartown, hut 1001 promises
oven better things. So mote it
be!
folk county will draw from
the state school fund for 1001 the
princely sum of $10,850. Last
year I’olk received $10,408 as tho
county school fund.

Minister to Japan, is well on his

lion. G. R. Glenn, State School
Commissioner of Georgia, was
last Saturday elected president
of the Southern Educational As
sociation, in session at Richmond,

Tho report that ex-President
Cleveland voted for McKinley is
emphatically denied by Mr.
Cleveland himself. As ho is the
only man who really knows, that
ought to settle it.
Editor Walker, of the Aeworth
Post, has bought tho Dallas New

lie is a good newspaper man, and
will doubtless start a “new era”
in Dallas newspaperdom.
NEW COUNTY OFFICERS.
Editor J. T. Fain, of the Rock-
mart Slate, has gone to Monroe,

The School for. the Deaf at
Cave Spring, which has been
closed for several weeks on ac
count of a case of scarlet fever
among its inmates, re-opened
yesterday. The buildings have
been thoroughly cleansed and
fumigated, and it is believed that
there is no longer any possible
danger of infection.
Ex-President Cleveland made
somo excellent suggestions in
Monday’s New York World, lie
thinks tho President should be
elected by direct vote of the peo
ple, instead of through our anti
quated and indefensible system
of electors, lie also thinks' the
tenure of Presidential office
should be extended and the in
cumbent made ineligible for re-
election,ami advances very strong
argument in support of his posi
tion.
The sale of wild lands for taxes
Tuesday and Wednesday brought
a large crowd to town, and the
bidding was lively and exciting.
Some good lands went fora song,
the price ranging all the way
from $1 to $100, and averaging
about $13 per lot. The sale was
cried by Deputy Sheri If J. F.
Carmichael, of Rockmart, v
proved a splendid auctiom
and fully 200 hits went down
under the hammer. It was the
largest sale in point id' acreage
ever made in Polk county, and
many a man secured a good bar-
gun in lands.
Folk’s Coterlo of Officials All File
lhelr Approved Bonds and Are
ttwurn In.
The now year starts out with
all county oflicers in Polk quali
fied and “in harness,” so to
speak.
Their bonds liuve been filed and
approved by the Board of County
Commissioners, and their com
missions from tho Governor have
been delivered. All have taken
the oath of office, and are at
home in their quarters at the
Court House.
There are some changes in the
“old guard,” and while a few
familiar faces will be missed
from the Temple of Justice, the
now ones will no doubt prove just
ns agreeable and pleasing to tho
public ns their clever prede
cessors.
The official roster, as it stands
for tho next two years in Polk,
is ns follows:—
Sheriff—John Hutchings,
Clerk—W. C. Knight.
Ordinary—A. D. Hogg.
Treasurer—John N. Hamrick.
Tax Receiver—M. E. McCor
mick.
Tax Collector—W. A. Calhoun.
Surveyor—Stephen A. Hunt.
Coroner—J. O. Crubb.
County Commissioners—D. M.
Russell, T. H. Adams and B. F.
Johnson.
Sheriff . Hutchings was treas
urer of Polk for several years,
and his army of friends are pre
dicting for him one of tho best
and most efficient business ad
ministrations of the sheriff’s of
fice ever made by any official.
He has already moved into the
county jail as his official resi
dence, and genial John Hutch
ings can now be found strictly at
his post of duty and ready to
serve you. He has two excellent
deputies in Messrs. J. F. Carmi
chael and J. E. Dempsey.
Judge W. C. Knight, the vet
eran and popular clerk, is just
where his multitude of friends
hope ho will remain ns long as he
lives. He is the same obliging
official that he Iihb been for over
a quarter of a century, and with
his efficient deputy, Mr. W. L
Knight, the team cannot be ex
celled in the state.
Mr. Aimer D. Hogg starts out
on a new term as Ordinary, and
his official duties will tie attended
to hereafter just ns faithfully
heretofore. He is callable and
attentive, and is making new
friends by the excellent conduct
of his office.
Mr. M. E. McCormick, tho old
Tax Receiver, needs no words
praise from any source, so w
and faithfully has he served the
ounty for eight years. “Bud
McCormick is at home any when
for he has friends in or out (
office.
Mr. \V. A. Calhoun, the new
ix Collector, goes into oili
with a strong backing of friends,
succeeding as lie did one id' the
cleverest men and best officials
Polk ever had. Mr. Calhoun is a
cripple, ahd besides having popu
lar sympathy,all wish him a long
tenure of office, and predict for
him the same excellent record
enjoyed by his predecessor, Mr.
\V: C. Y. Schliestett.
Treasurer John N. Hamrick,
while he has but one arm, always
carries about- with him two big
smiles, and lias a -happy faculty
of shaking hands with folks as
well as being a good officer.
Mr. Stephen A. Hunt succeeds
Mr. C. R. Pittman as Surveyor,
and thus assumes the duties of
an office he once tilled,with abil
ity, and credit.
Coroner J. O. Crabb can hold
his office as long as he wants it,—
and Tin: Standard hopes he and
all our clever officials will live
long and prosper.

PARLORS FORMALLY OPENED
THURSDAY EVENING.
Function Largely Attended and
Thoroughly Enjoyed.
The ‘elegant parlors of the
Cherokee Club in the new XV. J.

the function was the leading
social event of the season. The
reception was very largely at
tended, and all were well re-paid
for going.
The new Club rooms are
beautiful and attractive in every
way, and are very conveniently
arranged. Their appearance was
a very agreeable surprise to the
largo concourse of visitors, and
would he a credit to any city.
An orchestra from Atlanta
furnished delightful music for
the occasion, which was especially
enjoyed by the devotees of Terp
sichore.
The entire evening was most
pleasantly spent by all, and the
enjoyment was heightened by
the serving of delicious refresh
ments—lemonade, ice cream and
cakes.
