Change Of OFF eiaIS.

Judge Friesner, Judge Acker
and Clerk McCourtney succeed
ed themselves. Their past term!
of Office were so acceptable to ths
j. democracy that no opposition o
any consequence was offered. tt
their almost unanimous re elec
tion. They have made eXcelIen
officers, and the pledge is. guar
anteed that they will not disap
point the public in giving then
the democratic compliment OF {
second term.
r Mr.. Woodruff, after serving
two terms, six years, retires and
IS succeeded by John I. Nut,er
Our county has been especial
~ favored with able county com
missioners, and it is no dispar-
acement TO all the men who have
filled this place 10 say that "BilF
Woodruff ranks among the fore
most.
He is self made man. and &
man of property made by econ
omy and honest industry, pay
ing as much taxes. with possibly
a single exception, of any man
in cnr county.
| He is a man Of broad and in
tellee views. He favored all
sensible and needed public i'm
provement, and always insisted
on having the best, believing
that the best is always the cheap
est. He was careful and scru-
or!ons in allowing bills. He in
quired 10 find if bills were honest
and reasonable: He was not
five centish but favored fair
price for good work rendered.and
no honest man having Il claim
against the county can make
reasonable complaint that lie did
not treat him fairly. In retiring
from office Mr.. Woodruff takes
with him the appreciation of the
public for services as a public
officer we'll and honestly per
formed, and The democrats take
to themselves credit in scoreing
upon their record another man
whose official conduct CORES
ponds with his, political faith
honest, honorable, faithful and
true.
His successor, Mr.. Nutter. is
one Of the most deserving men.
He is a man Of intelligence and
Of public spirit. He will unite
in every honest effort to advance
the best interests of the county
and at the same time watch
closely the expenditures and
guard against extravaganza in
the use Of the public funds.
In wishing Mr.. Nutter a sue
cessful term, our best hope and
anticipation is that he will make
as good commissioner as the
gentlemen whom he succeeds.
Mr.. Andrew Wright succeeds
Mr.. S. ii. Her as Iuiirmary Di-
rector.
Mr.. Her has served two terms
and has been an honest and ac-I
comnfodating official. lie has
been diligent in attention to bu-
siness, and has shown an earnest
zeal in behalf Of The poor Of the
county. He has faithfully and
honestly discharged all the obi
cations of his Office. and retires
with the approval of the public
for honesty and efficiency in the
discharge of all his official obli-
cations.
His successor, Mr.. Andrew
Wright, is one of the best known
and most prominent citizens Of
Marion.
He is a farmer, man of prac-
tical good sense, honorable, in
telligent and public spirited, and
gives every assurance of making
an official honorable TO the coun-
ty, to his party and to the office
to which he has been elected.
The change Of officials in Hook
ing, is only changing from good
men TO others equally as compe-
tent, and we can assure the pub
lie that the new men inaugera-
ted on Monday, will, like their
predecessors, preserve the credit
Of the party, and do equally good
work in the service Of the pub
lie.
