tribute to the genial clerk' who is
laying aside the burden of office to
enjoy a few years rest.
The dining room was very' attract

J Attorney Charles E. Martin gave
a few remarks expressing tne senti

the frit-ndly relations that had pre

of the court in the past year and
the sense of loss t.ley wount
fe-l at his laying do- n the reins of
the office. The following poem by
Mr. Martin war" expressive of the
general sentiment of the attorneys
who were in attendance:
Here's to him. my old friend Jim.
Tall, lanky, always slim.
But kind and thoughtful, good and
true
To friend or foe whether me or you.
Now the reason why I'm saying so
much
'Cause Jim to me has always been
such.
Sometimes I have tried in impotent
rage
To locate the book end also the rage.
On which was recorded some law
suit, you tme.
By Dwyer. Rawle or Mr. Leyd-ee.
Then Jim. like the mind-reader he
always has been,
Would observe the predicament that
I was in.
V.'ould come to my rescue and ahow
me the way
lie found such things most every
day. Hor IT miss Jim when I call at the
plaoe
Where I'm accustomed to seeing his
kindly face.
For soon t will quit the office of
clerk
And enjoy more pleasure, not so
much work.
Hurrah for Jim. my faithful friend.
I shall love you always 'till .life
shall end. " '
Long years you've worked, so now
take ease,
Oo where you will, just do as you
please.
Christmas at hand, also the New
Year. Hurrah for Jim and be of good
cheer.
Mr. Robertson responded very
pleasingly to the toast of his friend
of the bar and expressed the pleas
ure of the many years of association
with the lawyers of the county and
the many others who had been fre
quent Tlsitors at the office over
which he has presided.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in the renewal of the days
gone by in stories and the relating
of many of the amusing incidents
that had been the life of the lawyer
tbroueh the years in the Cass coun
ty courts, and it was a late hour
when the party broke up. all Joining
