Al YEARS in PUBLIC SERVICE
BrightOn's RetiringiTOwn Clerk,
George 8. Robinson, Holds This
Record.

Record.
With his resignation on town meet
ing day, George S. Robinson had
served the town Of Brighton as town
clerk for forty-one years and as
treasurer for forty years. Ordinarily,
such a circumstance would call for
more than usual comment, because
it is very rarely indeed that any man
holds town office so long. In town
affairs, there are always factions
arising, and jealousy predominates
to GUST worthy men from office many
times. Men who, with motives
purely altruistic try, to the best of
their ability, to conduct town Of
flee for the public good, go down un-
der the headsman's axe on town
meeting day, at the behest of a pure
democracy. 1t is well that this is so,
for every officer is kept on his guard.
If he desires to hold office, he re-
spends more readily to the public
good, whether he being holding Of
flee for personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT or
for the benefit and prosperity of. his
town.
But what would you say of man
who holds two important public Of
fees continuously for forty years?
There must be an underlying sub
stratum somewhere that holds him
up. He can be and is no ordinary
man, who in the shuffies of politics
and the changing population of that
period of time, rides the storm clear
through and reaches retirement
without a blemish and with the
strongest concentrations and the
l sincerest best wishes of his fellow
2 citizens.
l True greatness may not always
1 consist in the eloquence of a Burke
or a Webster, or like Napoleon, in
the ability to lead vast armies to vic
q tory amid the blast of trumpets and
the glamor and display of a great
concourse; but, sometimes, in the
most humble and dreary effort of a
simple laborious task we'll done.
'Inasmuch as thou hast been faith
full in few things, we make thee
d ruler over many" is test of capac-
ity and ability which connot be gain.
;, said.
r. During his long period of service
Mr.. Robinson has not only enjoyed
the fullest confidence and esteem OF
:, his tOwnsmen; but he has also been
u and is now a director in the Vernon
Mutual Fire insurance Company and
has held many important fire insur
ance agencies; and from these com
panies, he has received numerous
letters of appreciation and regret al
g his retirement.
4 1t is, indeed, remarkable that any
e man should be able to hold office sc
e long. 1t is, perhaps, because he has
II always been accommodating anC
4 genial with the public and absolutely
Il honest with his constituency; but
rs many such men go down in defeat
There is some unspeakable element
which ties the public to such man
and Mr.. Robinson leaves public office
with the highest respect and esteem
IS of everybody. He could hold these
}. offices for hundred years if it were
e possible; but time grasses everything
| You cannot stop time, "The inaudia.
d BILE, noiseless foot of time"
|, In his retirement, Mr.. Robinson
y has the sincerest wishes for con.
IS tinued good health and happiness by
n everyone who knows him.

Your Stationery Should Be Distinctive

Don't follow others style-thats running in
rut-Just because the merchant across the street
has his letters done in red ink is no reason why
you should follow suit.
Just because another one of your competitors
has his envelope printed so and SO is no reason
why yours shouldn't be different
There are new ideas in everything every day,
If you don't accept them you cease to be modren
This is just as true of printing, Job printing
has stepped miles beyond the primitive type
singing days of yore. It's combination of trade
and art in these days.
If you can't think of an original design for
your stationery, come in and see our job printer,
that's his business!
The Courier job office is ready and willing to
compete with any other in this kind of work.
