New and Old Auditor

On Monday next Mr.. Charles Evers retires
from the County Auditors Office, after con-
secutive service as Auditor for six years and
ten months. That Mr.. Evers has made one
of the best, if not the best, Auditors the
county has ever had must be acknowledged
by all, and he retires from the position he has
so long held with regret from all good citi-
zens and with credit to himself, his party,
and the people generally. Under Mr.. Evers'
administration of the Auditors Office many
important reforms were brought about, un-
til now the system in operation in the Office
is one of the best in the State. These re-
forms are due to the business tact and energy
of Mr.. Evers, and for thus bringing the Of
fee down to its present system and precision
the thanks of our citizens are due him. He
retires with the well wishes of all.
The new Auditor, Mr.. Geo. Russell, as
sumes his duties on Monday and is probably
the first Republican Auditor the county has
ever had. Mr.. Russell enters the Office with
the good wishes of all. Maybe make as good
an official as his predecessor, and we have no
reason to believe that he will not.
