one of those entirely worthy men, OF
whose fitness for the position, which
he has SO acceptably filed for neurly

tire routine of his duties; his complete
knowledge of all the business pertain
ing to his Office; his neatness in keep
ing the records of the Court; his prompt
ness in the dispatch Of business, and

say, without an equal as Clerk of the
Court, in the State of Ohio.
