place. Bray is a former prison

county accountant and tax super
visor, succeeding Nelson B. Cass
tevens, whose term expired Mon
day. Mr. Amburn has already
taken charge. He is a son of L.
F. Amburn, Boonville, and recent
ly has held a bookkeeping posi
tion in Elkin.
The county attorneyship was
not taken up Monday at all.
There is said to be several appli
cants for the place.
The county commissioners will
meet again next Monday to make
a settlement with the sheriff and
