Infrmary Director were installed some
four weeks ago, as we announced then.
We take pleasure in bearing testimony
to the fidelity and ability with which
the retiring officials have discharged the
responsible duties of their respective
positions. 1t is admitted on all hands
that R s. Shields has made one of the
most efficient Prosecutors Stark county
ever had, He has served two terms,
and the list of criminals he has been in.

tiary, is proof ncontrovertible of the
labor and ability with which he attend.
ded to the duties OF his Office. We only
hope Mr.. Harter may prove equally sue
Cessful.
Sheriff Rauch also served two terms,
and all readily acknowledge his faithful
services. Mr., Ranch never failed to have
careful eye upon the responsibilities
and duties of his Office, and his well
balanced mind ever maintained its even
integrity. The Repository of Monday
thus fttingly compliments ex.SherifF

the Sheriff's harness on, but understand
he has donned it and wears it very &C.
Ceptably. Bro. Rauch seems to feel first
rate in the thought that his term of Of
fee has expired, and has no doubt given
Henry great deal of good advice as to
how to handle the prisoners, etc, as he
found upon assuming the duties of the
office, there was great deal to learn.
Mr.. RauCh retires after two terms, pro
nounCed by all good officer, who has
80 conducted the affairs of his office as
to merit the appreciation of the people.
OF Mr.. RauCh's successor, we are inform
ed by his Massillon friends, and those
intimately acqua nted with him, that he
wears well, and the more you see of him
the more you find to admire. We sin
cerely hope he may prove an efficient
and faithful officer, and we welcome him
to our city.
We will say in addition, that we do
not doubt Mr.. Altekruse will so demean
himself as to be reelected for a second
term, and by an increased majority.
P. L. Manly served his three years as
Recorder in manner acceptable to the
public, and he retires with the words,
"well done, good and faithful servant"
The duties of that Office were never done
more carefully, and the Rep. of Monday
thus compliments Mr.. Manly:

we are informed, that has not existed in
that office for some time past, Mr..
Manly has been faithful officer, and re.
tires with the consciousness of having
discharged his duties in very accepta-
BILE manner.
Coroner R. Il. Anderson may also be
spoken Of commercially, for he was aver
ready, at all hours, to sit upon deceased
human, whose ending was doubtful or
unknown. DR., schilling, who resides at
Louisville, will no doubt do the same
with alacrity.
Mr.. John Holl, the retiring Surveyor,
has been faithful to his trust, discharg.
