II Ed. BAzoO.
EDITOR BAzoo Il have been q
constant reader of your paper for the
past six months and in It's pages have
found much to interest me. As q
rule | am not reading man, tint is,
| am the proprietor OF, l business house
which keeps me constantly on the
alert and | have no leisure for either
the magazines of tt day or the ST. n
dard works. My taS'ss. ,fIcould be
allowed to consul; ;hem, would GER
tainly encourage such reading. but as
| have said, | have not the leisure for
anything more than the newspapers
To read these seems to me 10 be a
part OF
EVERY MANS DUTY.
Just as it is bis duty 10 know what
tie great world of men is accomplish
log. either for science, religion, NOR
ais or i'll fact anything of q progress
sive nature. Yet while this is true,
when | reach my comfortable home at
evening, | often sigh for the intelli-
gent companionship of a woman, to
whom / can read the newspapers
and width whom / eau discuss
their contents. Of course this is not
my sole reason for desiring a womau's
compauionship, but il is one of them
and think the ladies viii agree with
lie that il is very good one. Now
why, some of your readers may ask. is
il that | am destitute of such COM
partnership? Well, the fact is, l am
that unfortunate creature, a widower.
Three years ago | had u kind and
loving companion, but the death
angel claimed her aud ever since that
time my life has been
LONELY ONE.
[ have only recently begun 10 think
that it would not be out of place Tor
me to seek another, and now that |
have thought of il, am at loss ex-
actly where to begin. Absorbed in
business and the grief, which all good
men must fell for ihe lC of an ami
able and loving woman. / have al
lowed myself TO diff out of society,
and row | find that L have no chance
to cultivate those whom | would like
to cultivate. In this emergency j
have concluded to state my case
frankly in the columns Of the BAzoo
and depend upon jrs es.''v. saco in Sc
