Some time last Month -- the Office of Justice of the peace for the 5th district in this county was vacated by the resignation of S S Sizemore -- A petition was sent to your excellincy to appoint P. H. Lockett -- Since then we have had no acting Justice, in this district, that is one who keeps an office for that purpose --

Our county Judge has been absent for a week & expect to be absent for two more weeks

so that we are really in want of such an Officer -- Subdivision 2 Setc 5 Chap 32 of statutes gives you the power to appoint if you have not already done so -- Your early attention to filling said vacancy would confer a favor upon the people of this district.

Yours most truly H. F. Turner Y. E. Walker Co Judge Pro Tem Sol. S. Sizemore Const Y, E, AllisonCstn Adam Rankin C. H. C. C
