CHAS. F. STACKHOUSE UNDER THE WEATHER

County Commissioner is Unable to Attend Session—Hershman and Welch Transact Business. Charles F. Stackhouse, commissioner from the 2nd district of Jasper county, has been about sick for the past ten days and was unable to attend the January meeting of the board, which convened Monday. Commissioners Hershman and Welch were here, however, and transacted the business which was not very burdensome, owing to the fact that the old board had a cleanup meeting in December. The business was finished at noon today and the board adjourned. It is the custom for the board to reorganize at the beginning of each year, but this was postponed because of Mr. Stackhouse’s absence. He vHll be chairman of the board again the ensuing year, in all probability, being longer in service than the other members.
