 We are informed that George s Williams, who was foreman of THE NEWS from Feb 1887 to Aug 1890, has accepted the position of manager of newspaper published at Winter Park, Fla. The newspaper is owned by person or persons residing in New Hav- en, Conn.,, and Mir Williams is given entire charge of the business at Winter Park. Mrs Williams and the children will remain at Poughkeepsie or Amenia for the present. Mir Williams expected to leave Poughkeepsie for Florida yes- terday but the fact that both of the children were ill last week with the measles, may possibly have delayed bis departure. His own health is poor at present, the result of two attacks of la grippe during the winter and spring but we hope the climate of Florida will restore him to perfect health. He is we'll qualified for the position he has accepted, as he is ready and pleasing writer and has years of experience in every department of newspaper work. And now George" may you regain your health and achieve success, is the sincere wish of the writer and your many friends.
