the last few years, and has gradually
grown worse during the last few

friends in Oskaloosa and vicinity who
with the HERALD very much regret
the change which he sees necessary
to make, and with them we join IN
trusting that the delightful climate OF
that country may abundantly repay
them for their effort. After many
fearful good-byes were said the fam

their long journey beyond the Rock

prosperous business wherever he may
locate, as he has ever been among
our best and most aggressive physi-
clans while among US.
