 1 had felt that aS good a business man 1 agtmtnt was eaFfled eul there as Tn

 Was deserving of its share Cf cfcdtt for the sueee~sfu management oi our County aflails. Today, Niadham County has q surplus of oNer Siu,eou in

 | have taken what l believe Ia he a
 just pride in the officials at the Jail
 which has contrihuted to the financial
 Jailer t eld for his executive ability
 ensfgy aud push that have made the

 burden upon the taxpayers oi ths
 County; in Assistant Deputy Park, - nu person could have better filled that

 through the efficient services ane
 hearty cooperation of these officials that my duties have been made very : peasant.
 1 have not believed that . just cfiti
