Good Bye, Old Press, Good Bye.

present time.
We took last, long, lingering fare
well look at the old Washington hand
press yesterday when this issue was
printed, and with tears in our eyes
and blisters on our hands, we babe it
rest from it's labors. 1t has been u
good, faithful servant for 10, these
many years, has told of marriages and
births and deaths; has groaned under
loads of political sin and boom articles
for Idaho; has danced for 10y when
giving to the world the wonderful
resources of Caldwell; has praised the
cash subscribers and shed tears over
the delinquent; has smiled blandly at
the double column local advertisement,
and in its innermost soul cursed the
patent medicine cuts loud and deep;
has wept with those that weep;
laughed with those that laugh; and
swore with those that swear. 1t has
given minute and complete history
| of Caldwell since the town was started;
has made prophesies and seen their
fulfillment; has done more good for
the town than all the other machinery
combined; has been ready and will
ing servant; has always been enter
prising and at the head of the
caravan; and has done more work for
less pay than mission preacher or a
member of the town council. And it
now retires from active life for the
present, with the consciousness Of
having done its duty first, last and all
the time. 1t has made many friends
and few enemies, and now to one and
all it says good bye and God bless you.
