Henry Ebbe, who is nearing the end
Of his first term as register of deeds,
was in the city Monday on business.
He is a candidate for reelection and
by the looks of things will have no
opposition in the primary. He has
been a faithful servant of the people
attentive to office duty and accomo-
dating to all alike. His record in
these respects has been without fault
and no doubt when the votes are
counted this fall, Henry can shake
hands with himself as his own sue
cessor.
