HEW COUNTY OFFICERS IN. . W. T. Campbell, E. M. 3hutt and G. A. Bleakmau began serving their sentences at the court houses this i we 1, Mr. Campbell as county judge, Mr.-Shutt as sheriff and Mr. Bleak- man as commissioner, xsone 01 these gentlemen appear to be out of place at all and all are entering into the -work of their various offices like vetxrans. Mr. Bleakman Is really' the-only right new man of the bunch as both Mr. Campbell and Mr. Shutt have served time at the court house before. The sheriff's office was occwpled by Mr. Shsuttt for a period of eight years and! he will find but littia that he was; not thoroughly familiar with. He nas appointed W. C. Gason as his deputy and Mr. Cason win. have charge- of the field work and Mr. Shutt will confine himself more closely to the office end. Judge Camnbeil was county commissioner for a time some years ago and he is coine to take te the work ot his office in a very natural way; In fact ha seems to be able to fill the judge s chair with that s6rt of dignity one would expect and we bespeak for him a very successful term. Mr. Bleakmaa will anly be at the court house for short tnervals each month during bis term but he is taking hold of the work in a manner that Uhows he will make good. Mr Shmt will rive to the sheriff's loffice his closest attention, and it can be exneeted that he will look closely to law enforcement along every line that falls to his duty. His former incumbency ot the office Is a guar antee that he will make good. In the retfrement of Judge Pat terson we can Join with his many friends in stating that he was one ot the very best county judge s Morrow county ever had. He took offi.ee under rather Inauspicious circum stances, the county at that time being about fifty thousand dollars in debt. He soon set about to change this con ditlon and succeeded admirably. He leaves the office with the county out lot debt, as it has been for several i years past, and with a record of l nluch good accomplished. It is a matter of regret that of late years .Mr. Patterson has beeu physically unable to do his work to his full satisfaction, but regnrdless he gave tii&odore.
