Mr. Tom Sims Resigns.
Mr. T. W. Sims, who has been con
nected with the Gainesville postoffice

accept a position with Messrs. S. C.
Dinkins & Co. on January- 1st. He is
an excellent book keeper and Post
master Farrow speakn in highest terms
of him. Mr. Hytnen L. Richardson has

January,
Solicitor Fletcher Johnson.
A bill was introduced in the legisla
ture last week to create the office of
Solicitor for the city court of Hall
county by Messrs. Smith and Sloan.
The bill was passed and Governor Can
dler appointed to the position Col.
Fletcher M. Johnson of Gainesville.
The office is a good one and no doubt
it will pay Col. Johnson nicely, as there
is a great deal cf business before this
court. The establishment of this office
is a result of the efforts of Col. John
son and Hall’s representatives, aad is a
decided victory for the former who was
defeated before the legislature for the
office of Solicitor General of the
Northeastern circuit by three votes.
Assisted bv his friends he went to
work to create the office, which takes
the business of this court out of the
hands of the Solicitor General. Col.
Johnson is well and favorably known
over the state and his friends con
gratulate him upon his appointment.
