Miller Again Employed as Secretary of Board of Health. « ■A?• * Theboard of county commissioners closed their December session at noon yesterday after spending the greater part of the morning in the allowance of bills and other routine matters regularly brought before them. ■ >■ * Dr. J. M. Miller was re-appointed as secretary of the county board of health for the ensuing year, his compensation to be as provided by law. Dr. Miller has served in this capacity tor several years and has proven efficient. ti. • , . . ■ f The board employed County Clerk James P. Haefllng to indea the, flies in his- office during the ensuing year, agreeing to pay for this service the sum of 1100. They; also approved his ' \work for the past year. It being required by law that the commissioners make an annual report, for which the sum of S2OO is appropriated, the board employed H. S. Michaud, the county auditor, to make said report and he will. receive the compensation therefore. . - ■ 4 U 0 * RICHEY FAILED TO APPEAR. Cralgvill# Man Did Not Insist on a License. Adam Richey, the Cratgville man who has been causing many of his fellow citizens of Lancaster township a bit of worry the past month, had given no evidence today of his intention to ask the'board of county commissioners for a license for. a saloon at Craigville, and the prima facie evidence indicates that he admits his defeat without a further fight. The big remonstrance on file in , the commihsf oners’ court leaves no room for doubt as to its effectiveness, for it would be impossible Jo remove enough names from it to make it ineffective, but nevertheless Richey has been causing some of the more timid anti-saloon workers and singers of the . remonstrance to believe that he intended to- have them all summoned into commissioners’ court to testify «s to the validity of their signatures. —Blufftqn News.

The local postoffice clerks state that the holiday rush has not yet made itself felt here, but predict that with the beginning of next week they will have just about all the two hands of each clerk and carrier can well handle. The rush grows gradually heavier until two days before Christmas time when the volume of mall is three or four times the normal amount This congestion continues until after the New Tear, as old Santa carries about aa many New Year presents >s Christmas presents. Never in the history of the local office has it been found necessary to increase the postofflce force at holiday time, thougb the force Iskept busy working over time.
