E. A. Upham, the retiring Register
OF Deeds, who has served the people OF
Wood county efficiently and we'll will
take with him the exceptional record
of having been the best Register Of
Deeds Wood county has ever had, and
in this, we desire to say that Wood
county has had some excellent ones.
1t is a common thing to hear men,
bers Of all parties who have had
business in this Office to bestow the
above compliments on Mr.. Upbam.
He will be greatly missed, but we
that his successor will
prove an excellent substitute. The
present assistants Misses Stetzer and
Stoddard will be retained in the
Office.
Jacob Searles, the retiring County
who has been serving the
patrons of that office for the past
four years will he greatly missed on
account of his GENIAL, pleasant ways,
efficient and accommodating services
always ready TO do the patrons of
that Off1ce favor. He will assume

Ed. S. .kenne, the retiring County
Clerk, after serving the people effici-
emily for the past six years will be
remembered by the patrons Of that
Office for the many favoFs and services
rendered them. He was known for
the orderly and systematic way he
had OF keeping the records of that

party has elected In the person Of
George w. Davis just the right man
to succeed HIM, possessing the same
qualities and characteristics.
Theodore Brazeau, District At
torney, will succeed himself, having
served only one term, two years. II
his second term proves TO be even as
successful and efficient as his first
term, the people OF Wood county will
have no reason to complain. He has
been most attentive to every detail
and saved the county a great deal of
expense in the settlement Of cases by
getting the prisoners to plead guilty
and otherwise being vigilant in the
discharge OF the county's business.
As attorney for the COUNTY, he is
making an excellent record for him.
self, and proving OF great value to its
Interests.
Bert Bever, Clerk of Circuit Court,
will also succeed himself, having
served only few months, having
been appointed by the circuit judge
to succeed Chas. A. P0dawiltz. His
short term was sufficient to convince
the judge and patrons Of that Office
that he was we'll worthy Of nomi-
nation and election and will not dis
appoint the people in their selection.
Mr.. Bever has proven himself most
affable and. efficient officer.
w. f. Little, Sheriff, has often
served the people of Wood county
as under-sheriff and deputy and on ac-
count Of the excellent services he has
rendered In these positions, prompted
his party to select him for this office
on account OF his fitness. He succeeds
IL. Ebbe, one Of the most genial OF
men, who has served the people but
two years and made friends OF every
one with whom he has become ac.
quainted. He and his eStimable
wife will be missed at the sheriff
house and Jail, having won warm
place in the hearts Of the people.
