alton of County Supervisor. During
the years 1884, 5, 6, and Mr..
Essington was a member of the Board
and if again elected his experience
then acquired will be of much use. If
we remember rightly the important
questions coming before the Board
during his occupancy were in 1884,
being, the relief asked for by the great
hail storm sufferers, and the question
of voting a one mill tax for five years
with which to buy the Court House,
was submitted. Mr.. Essington is q

Miss Stearns was raised to woman

when this county was in it's infancy,
Miss Ella could be seen herding cattle
on our beautiful (then, three dollars

did it with the same vim that she has
exercised in her school work since.
In those far off days it was nothin g

breaking buching bronchos, swim
