and although we had never offered the
Office for sale, we feared another season

to our little paper-had labored for its
improvement In interest and appearance,
and had received ample evidence of our
success, to 4 certain extent, from the lib
eEal asd prompt patronage we received
at she hands of our fellow citizens. Of
these evidences of she;r ?artialisy. we
cannot be tc.ally insensible, and now.

IN our former management of the pa

may differ upon politics and many other
subjects. and be rot offended at each other
is quite rational. all should take their
