Home Again.

Home Again.
After an absence of two months in
the city OF Alexandria, the editor of
this paper is once more at his accus-
toned place in the Chronicle Office,
with the intention Of devoting his
time and endeavor to the people for
whom he has labored for more than
a generation.
During the weeks of my stay in Al
exandria have had charge OF the
publication of a daily and weekly
newspaper in that city, and have had
full opportunity to test most OF the
trials and tribulations incident to
such an experience. Suffice it to say
the trial has resulted in the convic.
ton that it is impossible for me ia
successfully conduct in different 10.
calities two enterprises requiring such
constant oversight and attention.
Taking this view of the situation
and feeling that my duties and inter
ests were most greatly to be served
in this community, ! have decided te
return to Colfax and take up my
abode with my family and people, il
the old-time place and way that
have learned to love, and that seems
best suited to me.
In retiring from Alexandria as man
lager for the News Publishing Co.
Ltd, / have been succeeded by Mr.
John D. Wheeler, formerly of tn
Lake Charles American, q man O
successful experience in the manage
ment Of daily newspapers, who vii
doubtless bring to the News the sam
prosperity and success that has at
tended his able management in othe
localities. He and the other estima
ble gentlemen associated with bin
have my most cordial wishes for sue
cess and happiness.
i And now, with this statement 9
the situation, and with renewed ai
surances .of regard and esteem TO
my hosts Of friends in Grant parish,
respectfully ask a continuance {
their appreciated favors, and promis
them my best endeavors along th
lines of service they all know froI
long time experience.
