AMOS SAMUEL HACKETT

 

The New Officers.

     County clerk, T. N. Woodruff and his deputy, Chas. A. Hendricks, are carefully looking after the duties of their responsible positions. Amos Hackett, and his deputy, Jas. W. Willett, have full sway in the Circuit clerk and Recorder's office. They fill the bill admirably. Judge Lindley is looking after the affairs of the Probate Judges office. W. W. Younger is doing his duty as County attorney. W. H. Sanders, Treasurer, is keeping tab on the funds as they come into his hands and we can assure our readers that his books will always tally. The collector's office, with Jas. P Hartley as chief and Billy Snyder, deputy, is running with a full head of steam Frank Hackleman is ready, on notice to make surveys for any and all, and will keep on the line. Doctor Marquis as coroner, is ready for duty's call. Our County court, Judges Crawford, Floyd and Brown, will guard with eagle eyes the welfare of the county. Jerry Paynter will deal cleverly with all while taking the county assessment. All will do their duty.
     Every officer is a Republican of the red, white and blue stripe.
