Az ExpLAxArroN.-Ne Yearly half the papers
we have taken up for week past,have con-
tanned the rumor or assertion that FRANK
DAGGErr and Lutte TAYLOR CHATS us) were
about TO start an evening paper at ST. Paul.
Many friends have enqured if this was so.
To one and ali we say, No.
We like ST. Paul-should like TO own an
interest in a paper there,which would keep
money in bank as fast as we had desire TO
check on it or for several thousand year,
we might write little nonsense each day
for such a paper but sufficient reasons deter
Us Some of these reasons are Is follows:
l: We haze more friends here than any
where else we know Of
?: We owe too many people 10 make it
pleasant for them TO have us leave.
3. Too many people owe US to make it
pleasant for us to leave them.
A. We don't want to leave.
There are many ties which bind US here
We have read of miserlychristian who urged
an unconverted friend TO join the church. and
as final argument. stated, 1t don't cost
much. I've belonged to the church Eve
years. and it ha'in cost me but two dollars
ard half. AS a fnancist he was not a
SUCCESS. Some Of our readers beat him.
They have taken this paper for nearly seven
years anG not paid cent. They owe us Sl4
apiece. We cannot exactly say
Blest be tie tie that binds"
us to them. but We can't leave them in this
way.
But seriously, We like Pierce County. -
We have witnessed and chronicled most of lis
growth. Its people have been kind, indul
gent TO us. We are glad TO believe that here
we have many friends, and few who are not.
And we like this JcvRxAL. Eleven years
for young man in new county, is a long
time to sit at one table and manage one pa
per. It would be unpleasant to change now
Any one else would be but 4 stop-father to
this child Of 'our erection and love. The
youngEter is getting to reasonable age now,
and age we trust will bring maturer judg-
ment and more earnest work. He has meas ly
ovtgrown his clothes. but VS. shall give him
a new suit soon, and try 10 keep him clean
and Presentabls.
No. friends and readers, we are not " GO
ing, going, gone" No one knows where the
changing currents of time may bear him. but
our bark is anchored he-e and we sec no sign
that it is drifting from its moorings.
