COURT HOUSE EMPLOYES
PRESENT GIFT.
Judge, Horace G. Redlngton, for
msriy of Amherst and who has served
seven years as Judge of the Common
.Pleas Court of Lorain county, finished
bis public services Monday.
Mr. Redlngton practiced law In Amhsrst savers! years ago; later In Elyrla, and ln 1915 was e'.ected aa Judge
of the Common Pleas Court, following
a succeasful career as a lawyer. At
the election In 1918 Mr. Redlngton
received an overwhelming majority
of votes from both the democrat and
republican parties, showing that his
previous public service had been ot
real worth ud warranted his re-election.
Oa Monday morning, he was presented with a handsome black walnut cigar stand, containing a humidor, a box
of the judge's favorite cigars and a
complete smoker's equipment. Tbe
gift was from the officials and employes at the court house.
The presentation speech was made
by attorney George L. Glitsch ot Lorain. He stated that the officers of the
cogrt, bad been In cloae touch with
Judge Redlngton and that an affection had grown up that could pot be
lat go by without some expression to
tbat elect. Tbe employes and officers
felt tbat tbey bad at all times been
treated courteously, and that a great
loss' was taking' place by his retirement from the. bench. The bar felt
tbat tbe court had been pfflcsred by
two of the best Judges In the State.
Justice, fair play and courteous treat
ment bad resulted In the court's having obtained a State wide reputation
along tbfise lines. The small gift was
aa expression of the kindly feelings
of those wbo gave it. It could be taken Into tbs home and would be a constant reminder of those who gave it.
"You are not yet done," said Mr.
Olltsch, "snd .we expect greater \hings
from you ln the futrue."
Ia responding. Judge Redlngton was
visibly affected. He stated that the
gift was a surprise coming as It did
from tbe officers and employes of the
court bouse with whom he had always
bad such pleasant relations. They also hsd always been kind and courteous
to blm aad firm friendships had been
formed. He was pleased to feel that
aa bs wsnt Out they wanted to give
blm a token bt remembrance and he
would accept it in the spirit In which
It was given. He did not intend to
live a lasy life and did not Intend to
live so long that he would forget those
wbo gave him the present. "When I
turned my books and furniture over
to my son, I felt a touch of sadness,"
he said, "but I soon got over that,"
Statistics say that when a man reach-
so 70 tbat 98 per cent ot them become
dependants. "I Intend to be the other
S -par cent," he declared.
Tbs gift wss admired by those present and was later taken to the Judge's
