officers chosen to transact
id olfiolal business for the

mental qualifications, and

capacities.
A. \V. Patterson succeeds
Ige F. M. Smith as ordinary.
1 Judge Smith was not a candidate for
re-election, preferring to retire/to pri
vate life on his farm near Brookfield.
Ho has made an efficient officer and
the people can say: “Well done,
good and faithful servant.” Mr, Pat
terson brings to the conduct of this
office a ripe experience in other offi
cial positions, aa well ns an excellent
business training.
Mr.' Daniel W| Tison succeeds him
self as sheriff. His-past record is a
guoraiiteo of what will be his future
conduct of tlie sheriffalty j perhaps
his experience tlie past two years will
assist him in making a much better
officer the next two years. -
Mr. George W. Moore is succeeded
as clerk oftlio superior court by Mr,
0. L. Smith. The former was de
featod in tho primary, after which he
retired gracefully from tho contest
just like the true democrat lie is,
He will probably return to his farm
near Sparks. Both these young gen
tlemcri are well qualified to fill the
of elq('k.
irTAV. R. Futcli succeeds Sir. W
B. Bradford—-the latter not being
candidate for re-election. Both arc
hightoned,.intelligent gentlemen and
good citizens. The treasurer’s office
is in good hands.
Mr. Robert Griffin will collect tlie
state and county taxes for. the next
two years, and will make, an energetic
and efficient collector. Mr. Harmon
C. Baker was not a candidate for re-
election. He goes out of office with
■ A-fiuii.record for efficiency.
Sir. John W. Futcli retires as tax
receiver in favor of Mr. John R.
[cCrnnie. He made a faithful and
itisfactory official, and his successor
lan not hope to make a more excel-
?nt record.
SIcssrs. 51. R. Lindsey and Moses
Guldens succeeds themselves as sur
veyor and coroner ' respectively.
They have made faithful officers and
will do so again.

libraries as mentioned.
PoL BrmUvcll lias just leoeived the
ports from tlie county school com
missioners touching tlie toaeliers’ in
stitutes for tho past year, which was
the first year untiedthe new law, and
iii refereuco to the tines collected for
non-attendance. In some counties
the amount runs up as high ns $100
and in others ns low ns $10. This
money is to.be spent for tlie purchase
of books at once, which will form a
nucleus for a magnificent library in
evciy county ol tho state.
Next year tlie amounts collected in
fines fur non-attendance on tlie insti
tutes will in all probability ho larger
than it was this year, because tlie law
will be more rigidly enforced, Com
missioner Bradwell 6avs, and in time,
with slob donations as will bo made
by those whoso interest is enlisted in
tlie cause of education, these libraries
will have a powerful influence in dis-
seniiiiating education throughout the
state.
In speaking of tho preliminary
work of organizing on which he is
now engaged in, Commissioner Brad-
well to-day said that ho had found
that the teachers in the common
schools of the state, did but little
reading, and this fact, with its appar
ent detriment to tho< cause of educa
tion, led him to hit upon tho plan of
establishing libraries in every county
with the county school commissioners
ns librarians, tho libraries to be locat
ed at the county site, where the
touchers of tho county are required
to meet at least on one day out of
each month, their privilege under the
plan being to lake whatever hooks
they may fancy and keep them until
the meeting a month latter.

Pctwfor Dinner Sand tty,
By all means eat peas for flintier
Sunday! Peas on the table the first
day of tho year insures a your of
plenty. Why this is true wo have
no time to tell, even if we lmd not
forgotten—but true it is, as every
old hull or woman knows.
Perhaps you imagine you do not
like peas—there is llttlu in them and
that little some times stale, flat and
unprofitable. Open your cook lioolf,
and study up ftp dishes whose first
element Is composed of peas.
There arc three or four kinds of
plebian but perfectly delicious peas
that can le simply boiled with pork.
Then tho elegant white lady-pea
that combines with rice to form the
consoling dish so well known ns
Hoppin’-Jehn.
But no appetite can be so dainty
as to refuse a puroo of green peas
that abide with us in tin cans ns
as sweet and fresh as if on the vines
in your,grand mother’s garden.
Treat it as a joke or a supersti
tious fancy, you will never regret
eating a spoonful peas on New
Year’s day.—Atlanta Herald.
Our cook book says it is an in
dication you will have to eat peas ev
ery day in the year. t

Col D. A. R. Crum has attacked
the validity of the charter of Vienna
claiming that it has never been legally
chartered. The charter was printed
in pamphlet form and a number of

that it was never printed in any of
tlio acts of tho legislature and that
Vienna's charter can not he found in
any of the books, therefore she has
no legal charter. Of course tins is a
very interesting subject to every citi

this be true and the investigation will
