JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has announced appointments of three county officials around the state.

Attorney Matthew Wilson of Kirksville is Nixon's choice to succeed Mark Williams as Adair County prosecutor. Williams resigned last week with nine months left in his term to enter private law practice.

Wilson has worked for the public defender's office in Adair County and had a private practice.

Also Monday, Nixon appointed Buchanan County chief deputy clerk Kelley Stahlin of St. Joseph to serve as county clerk.

Stahlin replaces county clerk Pat Conway, who was elected last month to the Missouri House.

The governor appointed Jan Fugit as Boone County treasurer to succeed Kay Murray, who is retiring after serving in the job since 1976.
