Mr.. ]. Sterling Neblett has recently
disposed of his interest in the Clar ks
vile Chronicle to Mr.. w. p Titus, of
GAINESVILLE, and will retire from the
newspaper WOIlQ. Ills dIlilOttflC0-
ment will be read with regret by many
of Mr. Neblett's old friends, who for
thirty years have been IN the habit of
associating his name with that venera-
BILE paper.
By his unvarying kindness of nlan-
ner and gentleness of disposition, Mr..
Neblett has greatly endeared himself
to his old subscribers. We wish for
him an Astounding prosperity into
whatever vocation he may enter. To
Neblett & Grant, the latter retiring in
1873, the county of Montgomery is in
debted for building up one of the best
local papers III the State. They are
both practical printers and know how
to make up handsome paper. The
Chronicle is now one of the Oldest pa
per in the State, and save a few lido
syncrasies stands at the head of the
list of our country exchanges. We
wish it continued success under its
regime.-NdslVille american.
We are sorry to learn from the last
issue o; the GAINESVILLE Chronicle that
Mr.. J. Sterling Neblett, for many years
senior partner in Neblett & Grant and
later III Neblett & Titus, has retired
from the Chronicle and sold his inter-
est to Mr. w. P Titus, of GAINESVILLE.
We are sorry to lose our old friend
from the ranks of Il profession he has
done so much as a printer and as an
editor and proprietor to adorn and ell
evate. Most of our acquaintance with
Mr.. Neblett was as editor and prOprie-
tor of rival paper. We have always
found him true, honest, noble in char
acter and pure in morals. He has
been in harness since 1913, when his
apprenticeship began. Since 1857 he
has been leading spirit in a paper al
ways distinguished for ability, upright
ness, purity of tone, typographical ex-
cellence and goo! taste, while he has
built up lOvable character and crea-
ted an enviable reputation rs a plain
and unassuming, but lovable christian
gentleman. The press will miss him,
and we hope he will soon be able with
restored health to don the harness
anew.-Menlphis AUalanche.
