County Agent George N. Worden
has passed in his resignation to take
effect some time before next summer
Mr.. Worden has put his heart in the
work in this county, and is not going
to drop it and get out hurriedly. He
has given ample notice, and holds
himself ready to start in the work
with new man in the spring, or to
get out at any time after the first of
January. Mr.. Worden plans to go
West next summer to locate, prob
ably on the Pacific coast. No man
will leave Hancock county with more
friends in it, and three years ago he
was a stranger. His work has brought
him in touch with people all over the
county, and probably no lifelong
resident has larger acquaintance in
the county than he. His work among
the farmers and the boys and girls
clubs has given life to agriculture
in this county that will be lasting.
Hancock county will be loser by his
going.
