| Hon. John A. Barney, county Judge
OF Dodge County, was casual visitor at
WatOrtOwn. Tuesday, and was welcome
caller at the Republican Office To say
that we were glad to meet him is but to
emphasize the fact that we are~always
glad to see him. No man in Dodge
County has had wider range of varied
personal experiences and whose record.
truthfully told, is more replete with
interesting incidents than that of our
old friend and former editorial associate.
Claiming Dodge County as his home
for 55 out of his 81 years of his busy
living, he has served the public as
school teacher, postmaster, superintend-
ent OF schools, state senator, editor.
clerk OF committee on war CLANS in the
10th congress, assemblyman. clerk of
the court and county judge, besides any
number of minor offices. In everv
position he has filled the place creditably
to himself and proftably to the people.
AS soldier in the civil war, he left an
arm at Chickdmaga where he was taken
prisoner. He was commissioned Cap
tain by brevet Gov. FairchildfOr merit
ereOus seyices at Perryville and Chicka-
manga. AS chairman of building
committee that superintendent the erect
OF the Dodge. County Court House, he
made mark for economy in expenditure
OF public money compiled with the good
work unequalled in the history of the
counties of the state. His honest, faith
full and expedious administration of the
probate matters of Dodge County has
never been surpassed and his constant
reelection by increased majOrities show
cOnclusively that the people of the
county fully appreciate these merits.
Though full OF years and of hOnOrs, with
more friends than he can proftably
make use of, he is still vigorous, con-
slant student, mind active, and with
| personal appearance that give promise
OF manY more years of active usnfulnoco
