With this issue, the Morrison County
Democrat, after twenty-three years
appearance IN one form or another,
will cease to appear, the presses, type,
office furniture and fixtures having
been sold to the Herald Printing Co. !,
who Will consolidate the two papers.
While there is tinge of regret on the
part OF the publishers in releasing
their holdings after years of wrestling
to build up sheet that might further
the interests of the comm unity IN
which 1t clrculates-and incidentally
afford the owners the necessaries of
life-yet we feel that in selling the
community may be better served in
reducing the number rather than
maintaining the paper longer at a
small amount above living and run
nlng expenses. We purchased an
interest In this paper in the tall of
1902, and have perslstently endeavored
to produce as good paper as our
capital and efforts would permit. SO
far as we have succeeded we will leave
it to our readers. In the spring of
1908 Owen A. Konchal purchased G.
D. Auyer's interest and together we
have carried on the business a little
better than year. and could, so far
as we know, continue 1t indefinitely,
hut there is no demand for a third
paper here. Being willing to sell and
finding a buyer made the deal one of
comparative ease. In closing we wish
to thank all those who have favored
US In one way or other during. our
business career here and trust that
our retirement from the newspaper
profession in this city will not cause
anyone to commit suicide or be foolish
enough to think a third paper IN a
city OF this size a bowling success
