w. 3. STRONG, Eso.-The citizens
of Council Bluffs will deeply regret the
resignation of w. 3. Strong, Esq, as
General Agent Of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway. Mr.. Strong
has held the position which he now re-
signs for some three years past, and no
better or more efficient man will ever be
found to fill his place. He has proven
himself a gentleman of honor, capacity
and great moral worth, under all cir
cumstances, since he has resided in
Council Bluffs. So marked in this
respect has his daily walk in our midst
been that society comedies the loss OF
one of its brightest and most cherished
members, and in parting with Mr..
Strong and his estimable lady our social
circle will receive shock that might
without the slightest egotism, be termed
irreparable.
In parting with this distinguished
gentleman, we but reflect the sentiments
of the entire community, when we express
the hope that at no distant day he may
again resume his residence in our midst.
Mr.. Strong goes hence to take the
important position of General Superin-
tendent of the Rockford, Rock Island
and St. Louis Railroad, and that Com
pany is indeed fortunate in securing the
services Of such man for such re-
sponsible position. Our best wishes at
tend Mr.. Strong; may he prosper to the
end of his days.-Council Bluffs Non
pariel.
