On Tuesday, January 9Th, when
Sheriff Bud Coy hands the sheriff's
office over to the sheriff elect, L. w.
Brittingham, he will have the record
of doing the largest business ever
done by any sheriff of Sussex coun-
ty He has had the largest real es-
tate sales, handled more prisoners,
and done a larger office business
than any sheriff in the history of the
county, and he has done it all salts
factory to every one concerned. To
handle the large number of prison
ers at times that were confined in
the Jail was enough to tax the wits
of any man, although he did it. Upon
his retiring from office, he deserves
great credit for the way he has
it throughout his term, and
he now represents the ninth distric:
n the legislature. We feel sure that |
he state, county, and this districts |
interest will be looked out for.
