Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Charles E. Mills, the present prosecuting attorney for the thirtieth judicial circuit of I ndiana, and city attorney of Rensselaer from the organization of the city until his appointment to his present position, is a lawyer of more than local repute, and one of the most prominent members of the Jasper county bar. He was born in Ottawa, La Salle county, I llinois, August 7, 1856, and is of English ancestry. His grandfather, Daniel Mills, came to America with his family, but recrossed the ocean, and while there the father of our subject, Daniel C. Mills, was ushered into existence. While he was yet a lad, the family once more crossed the ocean to A merica, the grandfather becoming associated with the father of our eminent statesman, Roscoe Conkling, in the manufacture of veneering at Cohoes Falls, New York, the first enterprise of the kind in this country. The family afterward moved to Ottawa, I llinois, where the grandfather died, and where the father still lives. Charles E. Mills was reared on a farm and attended the public schools during his youth, afterward entering Adrian College, at A drian, Michigan. He then passed considerable time in teaching school, and was very successful in this profession. During this period he began the study of law, at Ottawa. He located in Remington, I ndiana, in 1885, was admitted to the Jasper county bar in 1888, and moved to Rensselaer three years later. Like many a country-born youth who has attained eminence in our country, he worked his own way, by perseverance and industry, from teaching to law, and from law to official life. He is a deep thinker, and reasons along sound logical lines, convincing his hearers through their common sense rather than by a pyrotechnic display of neatly turned words and phrases.
