a STATE DEVELOPER.

G.. c.. Powning, editor and pro-
prietor OF the Nevada State Journal,
offers that paper and his other
property in Reno for sale, and in
tends removing to San Francisco.
Mr.. Powning has been publishing a
paper in Reno for twenty years,
and has done as much towards the
prosperity OF that city as anyone in
it. And he used to pack drills in
the Grass Valley mines when he
was a small boy, and he did that
well.-Grass Valley Telegraph.
The State can i'll afford to lose
such rustling developer of its in
terests as C. c. Powning.
The APPEAL has had good many
differences with Mr.. Powning dur
ing the hustle of political cam
paigns, but these differences do net
close our eyes to the fact that he
grew up in this State, fought his
way valiently to the front, made
money here, and spent it here in a
way that We wish others would imi-
tate. He never fell asleep any
where along the road, but was al
ways fighting, planning and devel-
oping up one side and down the
other, and his efforts added to the
States wealth. and his paper al
ways sounded the clarion call of
State advancement and State devel-
opment. He has not only made
two blades of grass grow where one
grew before, but a thousand, and
Reno will never have a citizen who
will have Tough. harder for her in
terests than G. G. Powning.
