The New Man in Charge

Negaunee.- ‘The change in station agents at the DSS&A depot in this
city was effected Thursday. Mr. George W. Kilmer, the retiring
officer being checked out and his successor Mr. W. H. Chellis placed
in charge by the auditor of the road. The people of Negaunee are
sorry to see Mr. Kilmer leave, for he was one of the best agents

the road has ever had here, and the business men found in hima

man who was uniformly courteous, who attended strictly to his
business and who was ever ready to oblidge any and all who had
occasion to seek a favor at this hands. After spending a week or

s0 in the North West, Mr. Kilmer will go to his old home in Tenn-
essee. The Mining Journal trusts that happiness and prosperity will
attend him wherever his lot may be cast, and the wish will ‘be
heartily echoed by the people of this city. Of Mr. Chellis little
need be said, for by his residence some years ago he became well
acquainted in the city and there is no doubt as to his ability

to look after the interests of the road at this station to the en-
tire satisfaction of both his employers and their patrons.

Negaunee.- The Mining Journal's readers will be glad to learn that
W. H. Chellis has accepted the position of station agent on the
DSS&A at this place. He arrived here Wednesday and entered upon
his duties next morning as the successor of Mr. Kilmer. Mr. Kil-
mer will be here for a few days going first to St. Paul and then to
Minneapolis and other points. About October first he will return
here and will then go from here to his home in MoMinnville,.
