Otts says he has the committee appointments that he wanted. He is on the judici ary committee, and on military affairs —the former the most important of all, and quite an honor, he says, to Cherokee county. He and Mr. Kirby have drawn good seats, and he thinks the house will soon "get down to busi ness.” A man has a very treacherous mem ory when there is going to be a morn ing after.
