He will retain the services of Harris Lisle and Mise Frankie Lisle, both of whom proved efficient deputies under Rec- orier Lisle. Probate Judge John Silvers didn’t even change the key from one pocket to the other and the only difference that could be noticed was that smile that “never comes off” was a little broader. Watt. B. Dawson assumed charge ofthe Prosecuting Attorney’s offiie fa such @ nonchalant manner that one would have thought he was an “old hand at the bellows”. Charley Beard took charge of the sheriff's office and jail. He installed Tom Keller as his deputy-in-chief. Everything run as smooth as ifacog hadn’t slipped. C. G.
