HENRY TIREY IS INSTALLED
IN I'Ol'NTY ATTORNEYS OFFICE
Hen. Henry Tirey, after taking
the oath of office as county attor
ney yesterday, moved into the offices
at the courthouse and took up the
work left eff by Hob, Tom Whipp <
the retiring official. W. H. Fears
took the oath as first assistant and
has moved Into the county attorney's
office and Is now a well developed
limb of tho law.
When a representative of the
Light called on Mr. Tirey this
I morning, he said: "We are just get
ting straightened up ready for work.
We don’t expect anything out of the
ordinary during the first few weeks,
but the convening of the grand jury
next week will keep the office force
pretty busy.”
Mr. Fears said: "The first few !
days will probably be taken up with j
fellows who would make malicious■
complaints, hut it won't take long to I
-pot 'em and weed tnem out, after
which tiiiugs will run just as smooth
ly as before. There is always some
fellow waiting to pounce upon a new
i^hinty attorney to vent his spleen
upon some one ugainst whom he has
a fancied grievance."
