Sims, who has been con nected with the Gainesville postoffice for several years, has resigned and will 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 been appointed to succeed Mr. Sims and will take up his duties the first of 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. Try Gunther’s Cream peanut candy and home-made Taffy**. Going Out of the Retail Trade !
