After Justice had been done the inner
man the second and not less pleasing
part of the program was commenced.
Judge Fridley acted as toastmaster
and first introduced Supervisor James
Dobie, of Nebagamon. In doing SO he
said that there was an old idea that the
good would be taken care of them
selves. But tonight the good were left
at home and the bad are trying to take
care of themselves. We meet, he said
for the purpose of taking leave of the
chairman of the board, and we want
to hear his pedigree, and why he was
elected and why he has retired.
Supervisor Dobie had nothing but
good to say OF Mr.. Bright. I've are
pleased to be here and say good-bv to
our chairman" he said, but we regret
and regret deeply, that we are compel
led to say good-by to him. During the
four years that he has served on the
board the interests and welfare of the
county have been his interest and he
has made a faithful servant. Ia the re-
board loses faithful and tried man. 1t
is a great loss to the county and it is no
more than fair to say that during the
time that | have served with hin he
has shown himself to be courteous to
his enemies and friends alike and kind
and considerable to all of them. His
place may be filed we'll, but no matter
how well it is filled it can never be re-
ally filled.
In behalf Of the members of the
board Mr.. Dobie then presented Mr.
Bright with a fine SILVER set. saying that
II was given as Il remembrance of the
associations with him and to serve IA 2
reminder of the time spent together.
In accepting the presentation Mr.
Bright said: words can but feebly
express my feelings. | would be very
remiss if did forget the members OF
the board even if | did not haye this
present to remind me. 1t is rendered
doubly acceptable when | realize that
il was given by YOU gentlemen. | feel
that the expression of the spokesman
comes from his heart and that the gift
was not made with any Selfish motive
Whatever may come to me in years to
come, none o. them will be considered
as precious as this one. We members
of the board have had our differences
but AS We leave there is no illieelng OF

Mr.. Stark weather came to the banquet
He said that he had just been to fra
ternal organization of the defeated poll
ticians, and this year there have few
more of us Joined the order. Mr.. Stark
weather still seems to De in good stand

from now on. Gentlemen, | thank you
from the bottom of my heart"
Mr.. Starkweather being introduced
as a man who had had considerable ex-
perience running for office, said, III
