1t is with deep regret that tn
foreman of the MESSAGE sewers hi
connection with the Vandali
Leader. 1t was with the editO
OF that paper that we began GU
newspaper career. For two year
we were in his employ, and unde
his kind yet firm discipline. w
can't say too many good thing
about the Leader editor, for, to hi
newspaper tact, and to the tho
rough training received under hin
we owe what success we may hav
attained, and what knowledge W
may have of the practical, prose
side of a newspaper mans lif'
May the Leaders success be hk
unto itself-great-and may il
