Valedictory OF The Journal.

It is with no small degree III rrplet ilt;
we announce the suspension (~tsrhporari.
ly, at lcast,) of The AadeyS0n J0n0uut.
Owing to the meagre remureralive bust
moss the paper has been favored with in
recent years, and the difficulty Of making
collections on outstanding accounts, we
find it impossible to meet current eXpen-
ses and discharge past due Indebtedness;
hence, in Justice to all parties, we have
made assignment of the paper and all its
interests to w. II. Friersor, Esq, for the
benefit of our creditors.
The Journal, like most all institutions,
has had its days of adversely and its days
of prosperity, and now, after q supreme
effort extending through several months,
we find it impossible to keep it going in
Justice to ourselves and others concerned.
We have arranged with the publishers
of THE INTELL1GERcEE to send their pa
per this week to all our subscribers who
are not already taking their paper, and
hope to arrange soon for a definite con-
tinuance to all paid-up subscribers to
The Journal.
The intelligent public will readily I'M
derstand that, after all our years of labor
and devotion, we feel q peculiar tlnge OF
regret, not to say modification, that We
have at last come to the time when The
Journal will not make its accustomed
weekly visit to it's friends. Our Mr. A.
S, Todd set type for the first issue of The
Journal when it was established Jan. 81.
1876. by Messrs. r. E. Belcher and E. P.
Earle. Six months later, after Mr.. Bel
cher's withdrawal, be bought q half in
terest in the paper, and was associated
with Mr.. Earle in the publication OF the
paper until Feb. l, 1877, when he bought
Mr. Earle's interest and continued alone
as editor and publisher. On Dec. 10, 1850,
our Mr.. r. r. Todd became a partner in
the publication of the paper. Since that
time the paper has been edited and pub
lished by A. S.. & r. R. Todd, until the
beginning of this year, when Mr.. j. J.
Beck assumed a working interest in the
publication, but did not purchase any in
terest in the Office outfit. For the first
few wear The Journal had a considera-
BILE struggle for existence, but from 1870
to 1890 it enjoyed a fair degree of prosper
ity. Then came q political movement
that strongly antagonized the policy OF
The Journal, and as a consequence 1t lost
heavily in business. This loss it has
eve regained, and in spite of every eff
fort and the practice Of the utmost econo-
nv, the climax is now reached. With
the deepest appreciation OF the kindn ess
and support of those who have stood by
us all along, and with no ill-will or
malice toward any, however much they
may have aided in destroying the foun-
dation under us. we can only bow our
selves out and hope for better fortune in
some other sphere.

watched at his bed side, as life was slowly
but surely ebbing away, and in the even

to his daylight home and the shadows Of

death was drawn and he spirit OF j. j.
Stewart plumed its flight for the land of
