County Commissioners. 1
[Footnote 1: In a previous chapter, we believe No. 14, it is intimated that probably all of the principal officers of the county at its organization, were appointed; but since that paragraph was written and printed we have become firm in the belief that the first county commissioners, at least, were elected by the people. Still, as there stated, no election returns or other evidence have been found to determine the matter.]
