IT’S JUDGE H. B. PEACOCK NOW

The Democrat is in receipt of a copy of the Tampa (Florida) Morning Tribune of December 29, containing the following mention of Blaine Peacock, a former Rensselaer boy and a son of Erastus Peacock. Blaine’s Rensselaer friends rejoice to-see how he is coming to the front in his chosen profession: “H. Blaine Peacock, a popular young attorney of this city, will become municipal judge of West Tampa on January 1. His appointment was made lasit night in a letter sent by Mayor Blas O’lHlalloran to the West Tampa city council, the appointment being forthwith confirmed by that body. In the letter Mayor O’Halloran pointed out that he was too occupied with Other municipal and business matters to hold the office himself. “Mr. Peacock, the new municipal judge, and Howard Macfarlane, city attorney, recently finished the codification of the ordinances of West Tampa, and these are riow being printed, It is the first codification ever made of the West Tampa laws.” .
