oI sne last time As ceunty agent The
oosefnor or the State has named my
sueeessor. Before retiring, however,
want 70 return my thanks To the court
S.lo We prosecuting attorney for the
Atnu consideration that has been shown
ne, the many eourtesies you have ex-
ssnoed 70 me. and the kindness l have
received at your hands. While acting

Iorm my duty well, and hope there is
no cause for dissatisfaction. Some say
tnst the services OF a county are not
essential-that the duties are not i'm
Portant, but l regard the Office as one
g tne most sacred trusts the people
esn charge man with. The destinies
oi moro than one child are held in the
pain1 Of the county agents hands.
