Of the discharged laborer? He

drop in wages. If, to avoid this

of the entire business connected
with these publications.
We feel no special introduction
to the Black Hills public necessary
as both members of the firm have
for a number of years been con-
nected with the publishing bust
Tess in this city. Feeling that we
can return you value received, we
solicit your patronage both in the
matter of subscriptions and adver-
Using.
Mr.. Gird's many friends will be
sorry to learn of his retiring from
the publishers field, but they will
not lose him entirely as he has by
nc mean concluded to turn his
back upon his journalistic calling,
having consented to assist in the
matter of general news gathering
and soliciting.
Hoping that our new efforts in
the newspaper line may receive
fair consideration, we beg to
remain,
Very Respectfully Yours,
REED & MCMANUs.
