years local reporter OF the HERALD AND
NEWS, has severed her connection with
this journal and expects Don to take up
similar work IN a pew field. During her
term here she has exhibited conspicuous
ability and untiring industry in the dis
charge OF her duties. The local depart.
ment OF the paper in her charge has been
not only a genuine satisfaction to readers,
but has attracted attention and praise
from the member OF the state press. Miss
White possesses a keen and ready pen
and is a thorough student of human na
ture. She has the best wishes of the
HERALD in her new sphere. The
local work of this paper will be lone by
tine editor, who will strive to maintain IL
on the same plane that it has heretofore
occupied. The addition to the Office
force ma ie necessary by Miss Whites de.
parture will be effected by engaging Clar
ence Cleveland, who has been with w. ).
S Buck for some time, for a part OF the
week. This arrangement will render un-
necessary the addition Of an apprentice,
for which place there have been numerous
applicants in answer to a recent advertise
ment.
