He was instrumental in organising two societies, shortly after taking charge here, and they ure prospering, und doing untold good, and to these societies is due in a greut measure the success of the fair.

For twelve long years Mr. Daniel S. Brewster has served the people of Stepbeuson County in the capacity of Circuit Clerk and llecorder, and a more faithful, competent or incorruptible officer never served the people. Mr. Brewster was first elected to the position in 1876 by a majority of 265 over Mr.

Heitzell, at that time a prominent Democrat of this county. Since that time Mr. Brewster has been pitted against other prominent Democrats, but he was always elected by handsome majority. He attended strictly to business soon gained the reputation of being the best Circuit Clerk 'in the State of Illinois. He gave the best of satisfaction to the judges, lawyers and patrons of the ofUce, and he now retires with the good will and higl esteem of this county, irrespective of party.

He has discharged his duties faithfully and well, und was at all times courteous aud obliging to all. The business of his office has been transacted correctly and promptly, and he has achieved a record of which ho may well feel prowl. His venerable form will be greatly missed by those who have business to transact at the county building. During the twelve years which he has filled the position Mrs. Malburn has been his faithful deputy, and leaves the olllco with the best wishes of all.

What Mr. Brewster will engage in we do not know, but we would not be surprised to see him open an abstract office. Although well advanced in years, lie is still hale and hearty, and is not the man to spend the remainder of his years in idleness. He bus resided this county for half a century. 1 1845 he erected a store at ICplianna, a village near'Davis and in 1850 he established store in Froeport.

He was the (irst man west of Chicago to open a butter and egg department, uud sent many a loud of produce to Chicago by teams. He was also one of tho first merchants of Galena. Whatever business he may see fit to in we wish him success. Captain Wm. 1.

Brady, the new Circuit Clerk, is also un old lit has the confidence und esteem of tlu people, and is a good business mun und mar. of sound judgment. Capl. Brady bus had years of experience in county affairs, and we predict thut ho will make as good a record as his predecessor. His deputies are E.

I 1 Hodges and Miss Sadie Becker, both of whom have hud plenty of experience in court work, und will therefore make valuable assistants. The affairs of the ofliee will not suffer in Cupt. Brady's hands. Editors anil the Poat-Offioes- From the trend of affairs in this vicinity the observer is dumbfounded over tlie complex problem -whether the post- offices were, made for editors or editors for tho post-offices. Among the uspirauts for the Galena and shoulders above the rest is Editor Brown.

At Freeport, Rditor Smith D. Atkins is mentioned, and Editor Oiunn has prettv good chance oC capturing the Warren ofliee. These three gentleman held the postmaster ship of their respective towns under the last republican administration. Some of the people we have talked with from these different towns complain bitterly that newspapermen want everything. The charge, is not only unkind but it is untrue.

Go anywhere and you will find the journalist harder- worked and poorer-paid than any roai with eqviul qualifications in any othe profession, and it is extremely seldou that one of them asks for the politica perferment, when as general thinp they are better qnulitled and mor deserving than those who promote' to Stockton Heruld Y.

Throughout the Catholic world yesterday was the new-year-day of the church, lu the calendar the season includes the four Sabbaths before Christmas, and is observed with special devotion with reference to tlie coming of Christ in the llesu and His second coming to judge the world.

As with the secular New Year the people of the church are admonished that it is an appropriate time for the squaring of accounts, the making of good resolutions, and so forth.
