county officers deserve credit for the very able
manner in which they have discharged their
duties, and the healthy financial condition in
which they leave the affairs of the county on re-
firing from office, more than any other is NJ. F.
Griffin, Esq, ex-county Clerk, Auditor and Re-
,corder, worthy of the highest need of praise
which grateful and faithful y-seryed people can
ibestow. The duties of the position which he
has so honorably filled are more arduous and
complicated than these of any other county
officer, and it is source Of satisfaction to know
that citizens generally feel and acknowledge that
an each of the positions named he has done his
duty to his constituents and honor to himself
Mr. Griffin held the Office of Clerk for two sue
eessive terms, or nearly four and a-half years,
and We believe the books of the Office during his
administration will compare favorably with those
oil any county in the State. The records have
been written up and kept with the most scrupu-
lous neatness and good taste, and the accounts
between the State and county and other officials
were always found correct, far as he
cerned. He has set an excellent example for his
successor, who we hope and believe will profit
by the worthy record which Mr.. Griffin leaves
behind him.
