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. Col. A. E.

Glenn, State School Commissioner of Georgia, was last Saturday elected president of the Southern Educational As sociation, in session at Richmond, Va. 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 Era, and took charge this week, 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, to take charge of the Herald there. Pro. Fain is a bright and live young newspaper man, who is certain to make a success in his new and larger lield of labor. And “here’s hopin’!” 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. THE CLUB RECEPTION. PARLORS FORMALLY OPENED THURSDAY EVENING. Function Largely Attended and Thoroughly Enjoyed. The ‘elegant parlors of the Cherokee Club in the new XV. J. Harris building were formally opened Thursday evening, and 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. Messrs. Win. Parker, A. M.
