There is a goal beyond the ken of
man in this mortal sphere. There
cometh a time in the earthly, to the |
faithful servant, the command:
I" Well done, thou good and faithful
servant. Come up higher" IT'S
sweet in the voice of man; how
much sweeter will it be when
spoken by the voice of God: "Who
bides his time in the hot race that
none achieve"
It's impossible to complete
task. It's impossible to do it all
perfect. It's in direct violation of
an invisible law of nature and
natures God Mans wisdom is
in knowing when the earthly COM
pletion is accomplished. When his
fullest ability in his speciality has
been exercised, to know that none,
the race achieves, until he
bides his time, rests and allows his
fellow-men to fill out the inches
and round the corners in the gen
eral plan.
We trust the men who from now
henceforth, man the helm of the
News will do so. We ask the pub
lie to support them, realizing that
the life of a newspaper man is ex-
ceedingly hard at best. Messrs. c.
A. Neal and l.. H. Dawley, who
now own the News and guide the
destiny of the paper, are thorough
printers and newspaper men. We
most heartily recommend each and
both of them to the public. We
have endeavored to make the News
strong with outside men and out
side capital, realizing that this was
and is a new country, and rapid
development depended entirely
upon an early acquaintance with
the outside world. We do not
exaggerate when we state that the
subscription list has increased from
sixty locally to one of the strongest
foreign subscriptions of any weekly
newspaper in the southwest. We
have paid but little attention to
local news gossip, as the town is
small and all know it anyway, and
again, lover of gossip is an in
ferior mind. We wish the
new helmsmen the fullest measure
of success. We wish all our many
kind readers the best that earth
reserves for man; with this we pass
from before you and out and among
you. The men who have been
loyal to us and proven their friend
ship, we assure them that we believe
that we are sufficiently broad and
deep to enfold them, and make them
