and will be succeeded by Bert Reed,
a genial and pleasant gentleman and
whom will doubtless make a fine of
ficial as he is a most highly esteem
ed citizen in his home community and
a kindly and considerate man in every
sense of the term. In the time that
Mr. Stewart has been the sheriff of
the county he has made a clean cut
and business like official and leaves
the office in splendid shape and with
this county ranking among the best
in the state in law enforcement and
all of this without any of the show
and display that many officers have
taken to be a necessary part of their
official duties. Mr. Stewart has con
ducted a careful business adminis
tration of the office as well as see
ing that the laws were all enforced
at all times and his record is one
that he can take a great deal of per
sonal satisfaction in looking back
pon in the future years. In the
discharge of his office he has -been
firm and at the same time has given
every person that he has taken into
custody every right and safeguard
that the law has given to them in
proving that they might be innocent
and no one who has ever been plac
ed in the custody of the sheriff has
suffered abuse or intimidation from
him in his capacity as the chief law
enforcing officer of the county. Mr
Stewart has served Cass county well
in the time he has been in office.

ing Miss Mia U. Gering, who is
known the state over as one of the
most efficient officers in the state.
Miss Gering has given Cass county
many years of faithful service, serv
ice that has been more than just
merely the handling of the office as
she has kept a keen personal inter

has been early and late on the job

Miss Gering entered the service of

The W. F. Clark family who have
made their home in this city for the
past few years are to leave within
the next few days for Springfiela,
Missouri, where they are p'anning

Mrs. Clark has been very active in
this city and her going will bring a
great regret among the friends in the

the family has been one of the main
