R. Lee Weathers, clerk to the county commissioners, has announced that L.A. Cabaniss will retire at the end of his present term of service as superintendent of the county home, and John P. Borders has been selected by the commissioners to take his place.
Mr. Cabiniss, Mr. Weathers said, will continue his managership of the Home through the fall season, but told the commissioners he did not desire to be reappointed when his present term expires.
He has been in charge of the Home three years.
Mr. Borders, who succeeds to the [superintendency?] of the Home [will serve?] for a period of five years or more. He made such a competent officer that the commissioners turned at once to him when it was learned there would be a vacancy in the administration of the property.
It is said Mr. Borders was so well loved by the inmates of the Home during his term of office that one of them actually followed him from the place when he left, and has been living with him ever since.
Mr. Cabaniss, it is said, made a most excellent superintendent, giving satisfaction in every particular. It is understood he could have held the post as long as he desired it.
