Mayor Rainey Resigns

Mayor B.T. Rainey, who served at the head of the city government for the past 
year, and was re-elected without opposition for a second term, tendered his 
resignation at the first meeting of the new council Monday night and it was 
accepted.

Mr. S.N. Rushin, a member of council, was elected mayor by the council and 
Sheriff N.W. Parker was chosen as councilman to fill Councilman Rushin’s place.

Mr. Rushin served as mayor pro tem last year and is not unfamiliar with the 
duties of the office.  It is safe to say that he will give the town a clean 
administration, and perhaps he may be able to induce the council to give the 
town a supply of pure water and a few lights about the square that the 
taxpayers may be able to see where their money is going.

Mayor Rainey has made a good official and his resignation is the cause of very 
general regret.  He has discharged every duty of his office with perfect 
impartiality, and has guarded well every interest of the town in his charge.

Mr. T.E. Chapman was elected marshal and will continue to give the town the 
same good service he has been rendering for the past few months.
