this week notified Of the change which
has been made in its proprietorship.
Mr.. a. r. MILLER, practically the
founder Of the ADVANCE, and, as such,
intimately and actively identified with
the entire history Of Mobiles county,
and especially with that Of Worthing-
ton, retires from business pursuits for
q brief season, and introduces as his
successor one formerly associated with
him in literary work, though as yet
known to but few In the community In.
to which he comes to live and labor.
A few words may here be fitly said in
dicating the future course Of the paper.
It is our purpose to promote, by every
means at our command, the material,
social and moral advancement of the
town and county in which our lot is
cast. We shall endeavor to make the
ADVANCE the medium through which
all interested in the prosperity and
progress of this south western section
of Minnesota may communicate with
each other. and in which every wise
and feasible project for advancing it's
interests and supplying its needs shall
find advocacy. In this department we
shall rely npon the suggestions and aid
Of those who have been long resident
here, whose adventure and enterprise
have brought this country to its pres
emit stage of development.
To gather and disseminate the news
of this locality we shall consider
an important part of our work and du-
ty. Here, also, we ask the aid and co.
operation of all citizens of the county,
and especially of the faithful local cor.
respondents whose contributions have
heretofore been of special interest to
the readers of the paper. Each fact or
event in the political and social life OF
our people-every daily happening for
veal or woe-the doings of churches,
schools, benevolent societies, literary
institutes and farmers associations,
political and other conventions, as we'll
as the transactions of village and
county authorities, we shall gladly give
place TO in these columns.
We shall also have space in which
thinking men and women may give
their views and opinions on matters of
general concern, whether we coincide
with the views of our correspondents,
or not.
Politically, we have been in accord
with the principles aud general course
of the Republican party through all its
history. We are proud of it's patriotic
achievements, and of the long, illumi-
mated, and benefcent chapter it has
written in the annals of the Nation.
We mourned over it's first defeats, and
rejoiced over it's first victories. We
now rejoice over the last great victory
of the party with which we have kept
marching step for thirty-fou eventful
years. Yet we do not believe in the in
fallibility of any political party. We
shall be free to criticse the action, or
non-action Of our own party when we
think such criticism is required.
We are in hearty sympathy with all
who judiciously and effectively labor
for the extirpation of that great pest of
our civilization. the saloon. We shall
advocate, as occasion offers, such polir-
ical and community action as we may
deem adapted to reach that result.
Thankful to our old friend, Mr.. A. P.
MILLER, who has, through many years
of able and valuable service, earned
rank as veteran in Minnesota jour
nalism, for the kind and aattering in
PRODUCTION given US in his columns, we
join with his friends in wishing him
happiness and success in the activities
and pursuits to which he may hereafter
give his attention. He has had the dis.
tinction and privilege Of making his
individual impress upon the Worthing-
ton colony in it's incipiency and in all
its subsequent progress, and has doubt
less placed more of the facts of its his
tory in an enduring form for the use of
those who may hereafter write it's an
nails than any other man. May sue.
cess attend him, and may he live long
to know of and to enjoy the fruits of
his pioneer labors.
The JOY of the Republicans of this
