Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  The Chenango County Board of Supervisors met in Annual session in their quarters in the Court House on Monday.  Burt Lord, Afton [Chenango Co., NY], who was a candidate before the recent Republican convention for the office of county treasurer, was elected chairman and W.B. Leach, of Norwich, was re-elected clerk for the successive term, having become well-nigh indispensable in the work of the board.

 

The new board has many new faces,.  In place of John W. Shepardson, of Smyrna, a veteran on the boards, is W. Smith.  Another old war horse whose familiar face is missed is Paul -?-, of North Norwich.  He is replaced by Lina Curtis, a Democrat.  W. Ireland, of Bainbridge, who was one of the new members of the board last year, is succeeded by Cory D. Thornton, Republican, this year.  German is represented this year by Christopher Smith, Democrat, and succeeds M. Edgerton, who was one of the most valuable committee workers, and who declined a renomination.
