and to rs 1t is cause for much regret that you
have decided upon returning TO your Western

presence and counsel even for time. You can
rest assured that you carry with you the kind re-

In whatever sphere Of action you may enlist in the
many years Of active, useful life.
In accepting the gift, Mr.. Whitford thanked
the donors for the unexpected gift, and briefly re-
ferred to the peculiar occasion Of their business
association, which had continued for but g few
short months. He stated that the paper to which
they were attached was In most hourishtng
condition, which he attributed, nrst, to the gen.
erous support Of the business community; second,
the zeal and ability Of the business
management; third, the efficiency OF
the editorial and news departments,
and finally, the interest displayed by each and
every one OF the employees for its success. He
assured the management they had in their en-
ploy as capable, honest and industrious set Of
men as sould be found In any Office of the coun-
try. The supper was then partaken Of and after
that had been disposed OF, several impromptu
speeches were made by gentlemen present and
the company separated.
