OF this county for the past q years,
continues his excellent services to the
county, and will complete his quarter
of century. Auditor Tweed has given

he received u majority of nearly 4oG
votes over a popular opponent, hence
his election was not an experiment.

reelected by nearly Goo majority. The

years ago, over one of the most popu-
lar old settlers in this county. has sc
ahly filled the Office that the people
showed their apprecio ion OF him by

last election. although his opponent
was very pOpular old settler, while
