An ad.ourned meeting of the board
of county commissioners was held

Wh.tsi-tt, who was appointed a
member of the board by Superior
Court Clerk Forbis to serve out the
unexplred term of Mr. J. A. Davld-and
son, resigned, appeared and took
I the oa'-h of office.
1 The moat important business trans-a
tad by the board at this meeting
was the appointment of township
commissioners to look after the pub-lic
roid work In their respective
townships, three commissioners being
named for each township. The coun-ty
and township commissioners will
hold a joint meeting In Grenesboro
Monday, when the money to be ex-panded

meeting of the commlss-oners plans
for the proposed building were sub-mitted
and considered in detail, and
it Is probable that bids will le called
for in a short while.
The proposed bu lding will have a
frontage of about 30 fe?t and will
be two stories in height. It Is to
be constru.ted jointly by the county
commissioners and the couniy board
of education and will provide offices
for the two boards, the couniy treas-urer
and the county auditor. The
cost of construct on will be between
$4,000 and $5,000.

After serving one t.rm as couniy

this position ur.til December 1, 1910.
That ha conrtucUd the o f.ce in a
manner sat sfa to y to th; pull c is
shown by the fa t that he was
elected re 1st r of deeds for ten
consecu'ive t rms, at one t ia" be-ing
the only m mb. r of his political
party ele ted to a county ifflee. By
his sound judgment and untiring
energy, he brousht the ofiice of reg-ister
of deeds up to a high state
of efficiency.
But It was not as an office-holder
that "Untie Abe," a3 the people
loved to fill him, was b.st known
to the feocle of Gulfo:d county.
His kindly, sympa hetic nature
reached out and embraced all classes
and cond t o s of l eople. No call of
suffering eve- came to h'm unheeded
and he never failed to r s; ond to
