Dy Inc assistance OF the people, ana the pat
Tonage extended to us by our numerous
Memphis friends, we succeeded even beyond
our most sanguine expectations The Bull
LETIN is now left in the hands of our friend
Parrish, who has 80 ably filed the editorial
chair, and our best wishes attend him. May
the patronage heretofore extended 20 us be
continued, and vastly augmented We make
our bow respectfully, and retire TO private

To THE PRTRoNs OF THE BULLETIN.
the above articles it will be seen thata change
has taken place in the proprietorship of this
paper. We have ever striYen to do our duty
faithfully, and, candor compells us to say,
that we are not blind to the fact that our en-
deavors were appreciated by those in whose
midst we have pitched our tent We came
here to stay, and trust that nothing will oc-
cur by which this determination may of ne
cessity undergo q radical change, and as far
as our efforts can prevail, will strengthen
that determination by adding link after link
to our interests and prosperity where so
many friends and pleasantries have been met
with by a comparative stranger. The BUL-
LETIN is an established institution, and we
promise its supporters that we viii do all in
our power to make itmore and more worthy
of public, as we'll as private, confidence and
reliability. The interests of Mr.. Miller call
him to distant fields, where our best wishes
follow him.
In taking upon myself the management
sand entire control of the paper, I have as
sumed responsibilities that can be easily
met, if the many friends who are indebted
to us for subscription and advertisements
will only remember that we have heretofore
proposed to do cash business, and remit to
us the amounts which they respectfully owe,
which, collectively, viii moro than iquidate
,evers farthing that we owe on earth, and as
we arc doubly anxious to close up all Of the
old outstanding business, both for and against
the Office and to US individually, we respect
fully ask that all those who feel and know
themselves indebted to S US come forward
and settle their accounts.
We shall endeavor to furnish the readers
of the BULLETIN with an acceptable paper
ane devote its columns to the interests of the
people among whom we have been pleased
to make our home Here we shall stay so
long as we can possibly support those who
are dependent upon us-and having no other
means to earn a livelihood shall take good
care to foster the hopeful beginning which
has been made. 1t is hard matter for any
one man to please an entire community, and
If errors Of omission and commission should
be discovered, and we don't pretend to say that
such contingency is impossible-'ve do ask
that they be attributed to the head and not
the heart. Since we started the BULLETIN,
we have had many drawbacks to contend
with-the mail routes were all discontinued,
we were an entire stranger-by some
thought to be Yankee g the upkindest cut
of all, for we were born in the lately made
historic city of Murfreesboro, and have not
n single iot of blood in our veins but be-
3ongs to the Old Dominion and the grand
old State of North Carolina, )-eonfdence
in stability had to be won-bad preeedents
of Journalism in Hardeman had to be over
come, and host Of other equally bad stun
bleing blocks had to be surmOunted; and
there is, probably, vast deal to do yet
indeed, we know there is, and hence shall
hereafter devote our entire time to the sue
cess of the BULLErIN-for as it advances, so
do We We patronize home enterprise, and
trust that such patronage will meet with a
hearty and continued reciprocation. We
want advertisers, subscribers and intelligent
correspondents. Can we get them ? We
leave it to the people.
