On Tuesday morning the celebrated, “Silver Grays,” to the number of about sixty, departed from Wilmore this county for Harrisburg where they will immediately go into camp and recruit their ranks to the maximum standard. We were down to see them off and can truly say that a nobler or more patriotic body of men has never fallen under our observation. The fact of their offering their services to the Government when each and every member is past the meridian of life is a surrender of the pure and holy love of country that animates their bosoms. All honor to the Silver Grays, say, we, and may a just God watch over and protect them and guide them safely through whatever difficulties or dangers there may be in store for them. New County Officers We forgot to notice last week that Peter J. Little, our newly elected County Commissioner had been sworn into office vice Abel Lloyd whose term has expired. Mr. Lloyd performed the duties of the office with energy and ability and carries with him in his retirement the good wishes of the people of the county. Mr. Little is a practical business man and will make an acceptable officer. The present Board of Commissions stands thus: Dr. D. T. Storm; Jas. Conrad; Peter J. Little; Clerk, Charles D. Murray. On Monday H. C. Devine assumed the duties appertaining to the office of Associate Judge in room of Hon. R. Jones who had filled the position with credit during the term of five years. Both parties have our best wishes for their success. _________________________________________________________________ Get more out of the Web.
