To the Hon W^m L. Sharkey.
Governer of the State of Mississippi.

The queshin has arisen as to whether the County of Adams is comprehended under the term of "disorganised counties," and hence doubts exist as to whether the late incumbents of County Offices could legally qualify under your Proclamation.

We, the undersigned, citizens of said County, that all doubts in the premises may be put at rest, would respectfully refer the subject to your Excellency for de-cision: and in the event of your deciding Adams to have been a "disorganised" County, we would respectfully recommend to your favorable considerations the ap-pointment of the following officers—viz

Reuben Bullock for Probate Judge—[Image: check mark]
Oren Metcalfe " Sheriff [Image: check mark]
Robert W. Wood " Coroner [Image: check mark]
~~A. D. Pickens~~ R. L. " Wood Assessor [Image: check mark]
Henry G L. Foules " Surveyor [Image: check mark]
William Cannon, Thomas C. Pollock, [Image: check mark] F. W. Ford [Image: check mark] William Hall [Image: check mark] and George W. Baynard [Image: check mark] for Members of the Board of Police.
Robert W. Wood, [Image: check mark] Charles F. Merrick, [Image: check mark] Louis H. Cory, [Image: check mark] James H. Blanchard, [Image: check mark] William B. Foules, [Image: check mark] Thomas B. Gaillard [Image: check mark] and William H. Fitzhugh [Image: check mark] for Justices of the Peace.
and inasmuch as Robert S. Wood the late incumb-ent of the office of Clerk of the Probate Court declines a re-apppointment we would respectfully recommend Richard A. Inge [Image: check mark] who has heretofore filled the office for a number of years--

Respectfully your fellow citizens
