office as auditor in Billings county
and J.. A. Berry, 'who'was his faithful
deputy for the past two years, and
who vas elected. by the people last
fall. is now auditor and in full charge
of the affairs of that office in Billings
county. These two men have worked
hard and conscientiously during the
most trying times in the county's
history and have given the people
good service. Two county divisions
added a great deal of work in the
auditors office during the Wilson ad-
ministration and some very difficult
problems have been handled with
much credit to these two. men. No
public servant can please all the
people, but Mr.. Wilson has nc cause
to apologize for the services he rem
dered the county.
After spending a month or two on
the farm Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson plan
to go to San Francisco to take in
