A communication was read from Sup
erintendent Wilkins inviting board
members and county officers to make
their annual visit 70 the insane asylum
on Thursday. The invitation was ac-
eepted.
The present membership of this body
differs little from past boards, but the
I lost remarkable thing we find is the
iact that at least twenty-five Of the
members are natives of the county, and
in nearly every one of these instances
the gentlemen represent the towns or
precincts in which they were born.
Only one man of the thirty-three was
born in foreign country, that one is
John G. johnson, who has represented
the village of Stoddard continuously
since its Incorporation
Eight members are without previous
experience Messrs. Neumann, Hojlien,
Hall, Dalton, Neprud, Shear, Ander-
son and Hamilton.
In point of continuous years service
Mr.. Brody leads, having been here
eleven times. Mr.. Taloch is second
with ten years on the board. Possibly
Messrs. Larson and Thompson may have
served more years but not consecutive
ly
The board membership is composed
Of twenty-five farmers, four merchants,
two editors, one harBessmaker. one
real estate dealer, two of other occupa-
tions. There are twenty-seyen repub-
lieans and six Of other political affilia-
