Mr.. pEHNIMAN'S GOOD WORK

The Rev. Henry NJ. Penniman, who
has spent the last two months travel
ing as the representative of The Cit
izen, came to town last Saturday for
a brief visit He has been remarkably
successful in leading the people he has
met to appreciate the value of The Cit
lien, and many letters praising him
and the paper are being received here.
Mr.. Penniman has found, however
that as different people want different
things, some are not wholly satisfied
even with The Citizen, and has prom
ised that several changes will be made
Some of these changes appear in this
issue, but others do not, because II
takes some time to do things. The
Citizen will, however, keep ali of Mr.
Penniman's promises, just as soon as
possible, as he is fully authorized to
speak for the paper.
