Hemphill, of Abbeville, ently filled the office of clerk ot - not likely to have opposition ion. General Hemphill with his long legislative experience is one of the most valuable men in public life in this State, and when the Senate meets we hope he will receive the unanimuous- vote of that body as a testimonial of his ability. Is Maceo dead? He has been killed so often, and in so many dif ferent ways that it has become a serious question whether he ever ex isted, and if he did, is he dead ? Our representatives should con sider the advisibility of procuring an act to provide for the building of a fire proof vault for the public records. The puilic records of this county are liable to be destroyed by fire at any moment; all because there is no safe place to keep them. The cost of building a vault would be a mere bagalette compared to the loss in case of an accident; should - fire oc curin the court hous6 in the night time there is no way of saving the records, and when they are lost, those interested will be the sufferers to an untold extent. When most needed it is not unusual for your family physician to be away from home. Such was the experience of Mr. J. Y. Schenck. editor of the Caddo, Ind.

One will naturally ask himself, what have I done, and whbat improvement have I made ? The time is near at hand far new resolu tions to be made, and along with the rest of imperfect humanity the writer has a few to make. He resolves to keep on hand during the year 1897 one of the choicest lines of Dry Goods, Shoes and Groceries for its size to be found anywhere. He be gan business in Sepitember, and al though on a somewhat limited] scale, bas cause to be thankful, and is pro foundly grateful for all patronage re eived. J. H.
