Yesterday morning, Mr.. E. S.
Bronson, who has been on the
TRIBUNE as solicitor and writer
for the past s or 8 months, left
for Moberly. Mo-, where he goes
to take charge of the Moberly
daily and weekly Sentinel, of
which he has purchased a half in
| terest. We regret his leaving
very much as he was faithful
employee. AS a solicitor he is SIM
ply "out of sight" We have new
er seen his equal. Largely through
his efforts the subscription list of
the Weekly TRIBUNE has heen in
creased from 500 to 1,500, and the
daily list has also grown rapidly.
Mr.. Bronson seems to have a
natural qualification for getting
subscribers and this added to his
extensive experience in that line
of business, makes him most val
liable man. He is also a splendid
local writer and he is one of the
best dramatic critics that ever
wrote for a Trenton paper. The
Moberly Sentinel can not help but
improve under his management.
We wish him success in all his
undertakings and shall be pleased
to learn at any time, of promo
tion for him in the journalistic
field.-Trenton Tribune.
