Sale and Chang. of Location.

October g, 1877, THE ARIZONA CIT- HEN office with all property in any w2y connected with il, was sold to an Sssoclation ut gentlemen of Florence, Pinal county, Arizona. who will al once remove it thence and continue its publication with the shortest possible intermission. It is their purpose to have the first number appear two weeks from to-day.
 IL is seven years and one month since we began the publication of THE CTTI- ZEN in Tucson. Although never de string to enter journalism in Arizona, we have been satisfactorily paid for our labor but hardly for the yexation attending it-a fact appreciated by every journalist of true independence and real service to the community in which he labOrs. Various duues well known to most of our patrons, prevent ed us from giving our undivided atien-  tion to the paper It has not been as complete and useful paper as we could have made it, and vel we unhesitatng- ly say the Territory has had none su- perior to Il in all important respects
 Several things are true: There nev- CT has been paid us a dollar for oth CT than subscription, advertising and job work. IL has always been used for what we believed to be first, the best interests of Pima county and next the best interests of the Territory. We have repelled all lmpertinent interfer- ence of friends as well a. foes Il has never published a line from a partisan standpoint It has, in short, been 6 truly independent paper.
 It became apparent to us more than one year ago, that before April next we must part with THE CITIZEN, and this notwithstanding its constant and satisfactory profit to us; hence nearly every week since early in December ii has been internationally advertised for sale, and personal efforts made 10 sell il 10 residents of Tucson. One week ago today, we received adyices from Florence that if terms were satis- factory, gentlemen there would pur- chase the concern. The terms were satisfactory, and in few hours after reaching Florence on Tuesday, the sale was perfected, and before this paper becomes dry, the packing of the ma .erIal will be going on.
 The Florence people will primarily publish paper, as they should, h the interests of Pinal County, and next in -:i K of Arizona at Large. The pur- chasers have a warm feeling towards this county, and aside from this feeling, their interests will incline them to act in the most friendly spirit towards Pi- ma. They will earnestly solicit matter relating to its material welfare, for pub lication, from al parts of Pima coun- ty.
 The new proprietors wilt fill all con tracts ol subscription and receive all money due on subscription; all due on job-work is due us and also with few exceptions (where.n Jhe debtors will be duly notified by us) all on ad- verlising. All advertisements paid fir III advance will be continued the prop CT time by the new proprietnrs. There having been a standing advertisement for almost year, internationally of fering the paper for sale, none can justly complain of this equitable and just way of completing our contracts a way pursued everywhere under like circumstances, without any notice of intention to sell as we gave
 And now, with more pleasure than any one but OurSelf can appreciate. we retire from all connection with THE ARIZONA CITIZEN. To lhe many true and gooG friends and patrons of the paper, we tender our hearty thanks, and trust they will give the new pro. prietorS the encouragement we are con fident they will strive hard 10 deserve.
