Surrey Up-to-Date as Seen By Republican Correspondent.

G. L. Thornton has sold his stock of merchandise to Harry S. Cook, and will retire from active business. He will also hand in his resignation as mayor of Surrey. This will occasion an election of officers in the city above mentioned. The committee has placed for nomination on the independent ticket the following names: For mayor, T. F. Dunlap; city clerk, Bailie Price; chief of polite, pete Oleson; aiderman of the first ward, Omer J. Sammie Kenton; aiderman of the second ward, Thomas Lang; aiderman of the third, John Lonergan, Jr.'; aiderman of the fourth ward, Leroy D. Mauck; constable, John Murphy; justice of the peace, Jim Reed; night watch, Billie Blerly. This election will be called on the last day of the present year at which time Foamy Thornton will resign his official position of treasurer of the Evening club, and editor of the famous Surrey Weekly Price Journal in favor of Harry S. Cook. This will make no change in the principalship of the Surrey schools. The present principal, Joe Miller, will retain her position and we have no doubt as to her ability to maintain the high standard of work she has shown thus far. We hope to see all the good people of this vicinity at the election.
