NEWSPAPER NEws.-Tbe Cedar
Falls GAZETTE has changed hands,
the Snyder Brothers selling out to
Messrs. L. ID. Tracy, Of Grundy
counte, and G. X. Shaw, of Mime
apoils, MINI. Mr.. Tracy was the
founder Of the Grundy County Atlas,
was the representative Of Grundy in
the Eleventh General Assembly, and
is known throughout the State as a
sharp. ready and popular writer. AS
a paragraphist and punster he has
probably no superior in Iowa. No
dead things ever fall on paper from
his pen. What he says. he says
pointedly and well. and then is done
with it-~never milking" bis ideas
but once. We are truly glad to well
come Lorenzo back to the brother
hood of the press, and hope he is
back to stay. His partner, Mr..
Shaw, was for some time the editor
of the Minneapolis Daily Tribune,
and was recognized as one of the
leading journalists of that State
Mr.. Shaw will meet a generous re-
ception from the craft in this State,
and will, we are confident, speedily
make himself as popular here as he
was ia Minnesota. We can tell the
readers of the GAZETTE that they
can expect great deal from their
new editors, and not be disappointed.
From the Cedar Rapids Times
The Cedar Falls GAZETTE has re-
Gently changed hands, the Messrs.
Snyder retiring and Messrs. Shaw
& Tracy taking charge of the con-
Germ. The GAZETTE is one of the
live newspapers of the State, and
while we are sorry to lose the Sny-
der Brothers from the. fraternity, we
congratulate the new proprietors on
their securing so favorable a loca-
ton and so firmly established and
popular Office and Journal, aud ex-
tend to them our heartiest wishes
for continuance at least of the
prosperity which has so long at
tended the GAZETTE.
From the State Reporter.
