that 1t will prove as profitable to US

that seemed to have brighter pros.

gladly grasped 1t
As well as we are able, we will give

always working for the best inter
ests OF the county and its people.

ANNOUNCEMENT

The CHEF is this week gotten out
sby Frank w. ,Clley, who has leased
the plant and assumed entire editor
ial control.
The retiring editors wish to ex-
press their appreciation for the gen
erous support and encouragement
received during the years they have
been at the helm, and feel something
OF tinge of regret and sadness az
though parting from long time
friends.
A little over nine years ago we
took charge OF the CHEF without
any previous experience In either
printing or newspaper work. We
have worked hard and used our best
endeavors to give the people OF Buf-
,faio county q good live local paper.
We have no apologies to offer, and
only the fact that our other lines OF
business have increased SO that 1t re.
,quIrcs all of our time, is the only
reason for the change at this time.
Sometimes we have neglected the
CHIEF to give attention to other
work, but more often we have ne
elected other affairs that we might
give our readers the best service pos
sible In the field which we occupy.
Frank W. Cilley, who by the
change becomes editor, is an old
Buffalo county boy, being with his
parents. one Of the first settlers oi
the county. He IL well acquainted
with the people and history OF the
county, and will soon fsmiliarize
himself with the local field Of work.
He IL a practical printer In every
branch, and will be able to handle.
especially the job-work department
much better than IL has been In the
past.
we recommend him to the CHIEF
renders and bespeak for him the
same genenerous and courteous
treatment that has been accorded US
