Printing Under Difficulties.

The Chronicle has been issued foI
the past ninety days under unusual
difficulties, the editor or some of his
family having been sick the entire
summer through. With the excep-
tion of only few days from two to
four members of the family have been
sick abed, ten out of twelve persons
having been down, some of them hav-
ing had as many as five attacks, and
three of the eases quite critical. As
consequence we have not been able
to give that attention to the paper
that has been our desire. We usually
avoid mention of our family and per-
sonal affairs, but our readers are en-
titled to this explanation.
Thus far, fortunately. by extra exs
ertion we have been able to nurse our
own sick without calling for help
from the neighbOrs. Several of the
neighbors, however, have been very
kind and rendered great assistance
by sending in nourishment for the
sick, for which we return thanks and
feel under lasting obligations. We
are especially thankful to the kind
Providence that has brought us safe
ly thus far without the loss of any
of our household.
The weather has greatly changed
and moderated in the last few days,
and with it We are glad to note i'm /.
proved health. and have a breathing
spell from care and anxiety. all our
folks being up and about. With the
return OF health We hope to he able
to conduct the paper with less bur-
den to ourselves and more satisfac-
ton to our readers.
