its high reputation during these long
years of trial, that our people, in re-
cognition of its services have long
since acknowledged it KING, and
rewarded it's representative i'll this
county, Mr.. Seebold, with the high
responsibility of carrying the keys to
our county treasury, and he has
proven himself worthy of the trust
imposed upon him for he is most
efficient officer.
