TOKEN OF REGARD AND ESTEEM.

At a meeting of the Renssel-' aer Bar, and Officers of Jasper County, in open Court, on ! April sth, 1884, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted, and by request spread upon the records of the Jasper Circuit Court: X Whereas, Charles H. Price, after a long and meritorious service of nearly eight years, as Clerk of the*Jasper Circuit Court, is about to leave our County for other fields of labor; And W here as, It is meet that we, the members of the Bar of Rensselaer, and the Officers of Jasper County, reposing confidence as we do m his ability, integrity, and worth, should in a becoming and formal manner express the same; Therefore be* it resolved, First, That in the removal of Charles H. Price from our midst the County loses a good citizen, we a kind neighbor, and the Circuit Court, and the p blic an efficient and faithful Officer. Second, That in performing the arduous and onerous duties devolved upon him. by virtue of his pos’tion as Clerk of the Circuit Court, he has discharged them with great credit to himself, and with eminent satisfaction to the Court, the Baft*, and the public generally. Third, That as our intercourse with him has always been pleasant and agreeable, we commend him to the confidence of our fellow citizens wherever he may go, knowing that his inherent worth will fully justify that confidence, and our strongest commendation (Signed,) Peter H. Ward, Judge. K. S. Dwiggins, Mordecai F. Chilcote, Simon P. Thompson, Frank W. Babcock, William B. Austin, James W. Douthit, Wm. W. Watson. Marion L. Spitle., Clarence M. Pari . Official Importer, James F. Irwin, ( k elect, John W. Powell,..'-lieriff, Erastus Peacock, Bailiff, * Geo. M. Robinson, A. J. C., James T. Abbett, R. J. C., Ezra C. Nowels, Dep. And., Moses B. Alter, Treasurer, David J. Thompson, JohnH. Jessen, Ezra L. Clark.

I heartily concur in the foregoing resolutions. I speak with confidence when I say that no county in the State of Indiana has ever had a more faithful and competent Clerk than Charles H. Price. He goes to his new home in the West carrying with him the good will and friendship of all his many acquaintances, and all who have had official relations with him. Presiding for seven years as Judge in the Court of which he was Clerk gives me an opportunity to speak knowingly, and with pleasure, of his sterling qualities as an official and a gentleman.
