Change OF Ownership.
With this issue of The Journal we
transfer all our rights, interest and
good will to our brother, Chester w.
Marlin, who has been associated
with us for the past three years and
who has had absolute supervision
teen months; and by his superior
ability and honest worth is entitled
to the ownership and emoluments
of the office in the future as we have
enjoyed since our connection with
the paper in years past.
A sense of honor and justice
prompts us to do this as all of the
work and the many arduous duties
have been performed by him with d
degree of faithfuIness and cheer
fulness that appeals to us as worthy
of the greatest possible reward that
we can bestow-which is The Jour
nal with it's complete equipment,
unexcelled circulation and more
than liberal patronage. We cannot
express our deep sense of apprecia-
ton for the kind assistance, liberal
patronage and unanimous support
that we have received from our
friends, the people, during the
years we have edited The Journal.
The kind words, the encouragement
and the loyalty of the public can
never be repaid by us, and a deep
feeling of gratitude for the public
generally will be cherished most
tenderly. But while we deeply APP
preciate the patronage of the past
we most earnestly hope and trust
and sincerely believe that the sup
port from the public in the future
will excel that of the past because
under his management during the
pass year the net profits of the Office
exceeded that of any former year
by $4,000. We are more anxious for
the success af our brother than we
have ever been for ourselves and
ask every subscriber and person to
give him their support; and such
support will be more deeply appre-
ciated than the patronage given us
which we assure you was not under
valued. We are confident and fully
know that never in any such trans
action has the equal amount of
good will been transferred by any
editor to his successor as in this
case, and we want to assure all that
our time, our influence and if need
be our money will be at the dispo-
sal of him who now takes charge of
the best paying country newspaper
in the State of Iowa.
| To those who have worked in our
office for us during the years we
have labored early and late to make
The Journal what the public desir-
ed we wish to say that they have
been faithful, diligent honest, trust
worthy and fully enjoyed our con
| fidence and will ever be remember
ed most kindly; and when we think
of the many weary midnight hours
that they have uncomplainingly
worked and toiled with feeling of
interest and pride for The Journal
we trust that sometime in someway
we may assist them and pratially
re ward them for their faithful ser
vice.
While we may change our bust.
ness relations to certain extent we
hope and trust that the strong cord
of friendship that we have so long
enjoyed and cherished will not be
severed and in the years to come
each and all may enjoy prosperity,
happiness and success in all its
fullness as in the past and that The
Journal will not only be in twenty
two hundred prosperous and hap
Ply homes but that it will continue
to increase the number of it's read
ers until three thousand successful
patrons will hail it with delight
each week so long as time shall
last. Fully knowing that the policy
of the paper will remain unchang'
ed, that it will fully meet the wants
of the local field and that it will
ever enjoy the confidence of the
public, with a feeling of gratitud.
and a sense of honor for the pas
and with fondest hopes and kline
regards for the future / am
Most truly
c.. A. MARLIN.
