WHAT OUR EXCHANGES
Have Been Saying About the Change
In the Editorial Management.


We have heretofore refrained from
publishing any of these clippings
for want of space, but we publish
some this week, in small type, and
hope our patrons will excuse us for
thus occupying valuable space with
matter that will probably not be
particularly interesting to most of
them. In addition to these, we
have received many private letters
of encouragement from friends in
different parts of the country. To
one and all of them, and to our
brethren of the press, we would say
that we thank you kindly for your
words of encouragement, and the
flattering notices You have given us
and shall give our best endeavor to
make the ARGUS success, and de-
serve the good opinion you have of
us:
