ty having this, the Goth day OF
September, 1879, Teconsidered it's
action in refusing TO accept the
resignation of Mr.. 8. w. Trotfer,

Special Announcement.

We take pleasure in announcing
that We have concluded arrang"-
ments with the publisher of the
Chicago Weekly News,-a paper
not unknown in the South,-by
which we are enabled to club that
journal with the CITIZEN at very
small advance over tho regular
price of the CITIZEN. Both papers
will be sent to any address for $3.50
a year, postage included.
To those who are not familiar
with the character of the Chicago
Weekly News, we would say that
it has an established reputation as
one of the best representatives Of
Independent journalism in the coun,
try. Its political intelligence is
presented free from partisan bias or
coloring, and absolutely without
fear or favor as to parties.
In the family circle il has secured
an enviable popularity by its PEI
culiar feature of six completed sto-
ries in every issue, together with
matter especially sought for
in the home.

But while the freedom of the
press is thus amply secured, and
our authority to comment on men
and principles fully made out, still
we hold ourself amenable at the
