1.-the undersigned, William II. Ham
mond, present incumbent of the office
of Assessor of the town of Upton, To-
Gated in the geographical centex Of Ce-
dar county and State of Iowa, hereby
tender my resignation Of said office
My reasons for withdrawing from the
public service in this particular capacity
| are these y
LIST. I deem it but an act OF courtesy
due the public at large, that I should
share the emoluments l have so long
enjoyed and vacate the official position
for some worthy and more efficient of
my fellow men, thus opening an avenue
by which another may rise to distinct
ion, and at the same time be able to
faithfullys and impartially serve his
constituents, trusting whoever may be
the choice Of this house may enjoy the
| full confidence of the public, and secure
to himself the honors that have so favor
| ably distinguished his illustrious prede-
cessOr.
I ID. In view Of the fact that 1 have,
contrary to the tenor and meaning of
the Constitution, been compelled to ac-
cept at the hands Of the people, three
| other offices, to-wit: High Coroner of
Cedar county, Township Trustee Of Cen
ter township, and agent for the celebrat-
Fed Olive Branch Cook Stove,-I deem it
but just and proper that / should thus
vacate the Office before alluded to, hav-
ing no further desire to reap the pecuni-
airy benefit attached thereto, seeking
only tho honor already conferred and
confided to me in holding the last three
offices mentioned. sz# ea 49,
And finally, Gentlemen of the Coun-
ell, permit me to say to you, while I
should be most happy to remain your
unworthy public servant, | take this
backward step with lie small amount
Of reluctance, but will, full faith and as
surance that there are numerous others
who hold themselves in readiness to fill
| the position, and who will do so with
honor to themselves and credit to you.
Ny cup Of happiness is full l have
reached the zenith of my glory /; my
crowning triumph has been permanent
/, ~ established / am high Coroner Of Ce-
liar county, township trustee, and last
but not least, the only legally authorized
agent for the Olive Branch Cook Stove.
| therefore lay before you, for your
consideration, this my resignation as be-
iO.c stated.

painful the task, the resignation would
have to be accepted, and moved to tina,
