regrets the b ost OF friends see these good peo-

should be where ones interest is. We COM
mend our departing friends 10 the good peo.
pie of Greenwood and feel assured that their
true worth and ability will make for them
hosts of friends In their new home. We do
not give them up entirely, hoping some day
to have them come among us again.
