his name appearing as secretary |
on the Greenback bills for picnic at |

could write, and so he took pity on
them"
A lot of Texas ponies were crowded |
upon the Ruggles bridge yestC rday in |
such numbers that they broke it, and it |
is now closed for repairs. Some will |
no doubt blame this on the bridge, 9TH
ers on the county commissioners, and |
yet others will blame it on the Republi-
can party, but the fact is that it was the
Democrats who had charge of the herd
of ponies that are to blame
WEDNESDAY, July IA.
To the readers Of TIE ABaericus Notes:
With this number we will bid you |
adieu, and we do so with regret, feeling |
that We are leaving many warm friends;
but THE silver threads among the |
gold" remind me that it is time / was |
looking after my financial interests to |
better advantage than l have heretofore. |
With this in view, have sold out nv |
business in Americas and will shortly |
leaVe mere, Dut just where L shall locate |
is yet TO be determined Towards the |
people of Americas and vicinity shall |
always have kindly feelings. They haye
with but very few exceptions5 dealt |
kindly with me. Although RI
came here less than three |
years ago stranger-wilhout mon
cyl have been twice elected and once
appointed, justice of the peace In re-
turn / have furnished them a DAILY and |
WEEKLY paper, absolutely free-THE |
NEWS alone being worth all that both |
cnst. To-day ! send in my resignation |
as editor Of the Americus Notes, and
trust my mantle will fall upon some one |
who will keep the Americas doIngs be-
fore the public, in a more satisfactory |
shape than have done I have found |
it well nigh impossible TO keep up locals |
for DAILY paper in a small place with |
out occasionally running contrary to the |
tastes of some. For all such ofenses 1 |
beg pardon, and assure my readers l |
never Intentionally hurt the feelings of |
any one. Respectfully,
G. s. VAN MMAN,
which was Keno.
