and citizen. can especially tes.
Ufy to the generous impulses Of

The custom, which has obtain

Official who has discharged his
trust with fidelity and marked
efficiency, is certainly an excel

my pleasure to contribute my

satisfaction and enjovment to
me TO thus be able 10 give my
endorsement to my friends on
such pleasant and proper occa
sions. 1t is Thus they testified
to my official integrity when as a
result of a political revolution
about four years ago, l laid aside
the robes of Office and retired 10

Hooking always do. when our
good friends surrender their
trnsts al the expiration of their
terms Of office. l am once more
in and shall expect TO again be
the recipient of these attentions
when the fortunes of politics
again place me upon the shelf.
As l have stated. | sincerely re-
gret to see Mr.. Notestone retire
from official life, but l shall re-
gret more if he does not remain
with US permanently. 1t is my
hope that he will invest the prof
its of his Office in some lucrative
business in our town. marry one
of our handsome young ladies
and settle down permanently as
a citizen OF Logan.
The occasion was a very pleas
ant one, and is an assurance that
we may differ in poll |
Tics and dispute on questions OF
local matters. yet among the
Gang there ia harmony, and that
an honest official and an honor |
able gentleman is appreciated
and respected in whatever places
his lines may have fallen.
In rendering to Mr.. Notestone
our compliment and congratula
tion on his retirement from office,
we extend hearty welcome to his
successor, Ben Allen, and in
the best we can, we wish
that he may be as good an Off
GER as the man he succeeds.
