Judge J. Q. Farmer~

As Hon. John @. Farmer has now en-.
tered actively upon the discharge Of the
duties OF his position, holding his first
FERN OF court at Albert Lea this week,
we thought it in place to give the public
little sketch Of the life of the new Judge
It the 10th judicial district.
Judge Farmer ia ff'y.six years old;
his birthplace, Vermont. He has an
education, and is a graduate of
Balston Spar IN. " Law School, For
twelve years previous to his coming
to Minnesota, Judge Farmer prsc-
ticed law in Ashtabula county, Ohio,
and was district attorney of that county
for one term
In 1864 Mr.. Farmer removed to Mime.
sofa, settling in Spring Valley. As
proof Of his high standing in his own
town and county, the very next fall C65)
he was nominated BY the Republicans Of
Fillmore for Representative in the State
Legislature, and elected by a large ma.
jority, and was reelected the two sue.
ceeding terms, so that he represented
Fillmore county In the House during the
three sessions of '66, 81 and '6S. At the
commencement of his second term, he
was elected to the honorable and respon-
slble position OF Speaker of the House OF
Representatives over 80 conspicuous and
strong An opponent as Hon. NJ. II. Dun
nell. The next winter C6S). he was hon
ored with unanimous re .election to the
same position. Although he had received
all these honors at the hands Of the PEG.
pie, they were not through. In the fall
Of 80 he " as elected to the senate, serving
Fillmore rs Senator during the winters
of 70 and II. Here Judge Farmers
superior abilities were again recognized,
and he was appointed to the craftsmanship
of the most honorable committee in tine
Sena,e-the Judiciary
After the winter OF II, Mr.. Farmer
withdrew from IN active part in politics
In the fall Of 70, hewever, the people
again called HIM. and we have no doubt
that he will administer law and justice
upon the bench as ably and impartially
as any district Judge in the state, and thus
demonstrate the wisdom OF the peoples
choice.
