Sunshiny days and cool nights are

the sentiments of the entire

seigne a surcease from his
sufferings and a long, happy
and prosperous life.
The talent of our predeces-
sor, imposes upon us a task
so difficult, that we assume
it with trepidation.
We, however, propose to
devote our time and energy
to the work at hand.
We opineethat a newspa-
