Suspended Publication

The Isabel Herald suspended
publication last Friday. Editor
Holmes announces that he will
move his plant to a larger field.
During his five years in the news
paper business at Isa bel Bro.
Holmes got out a newsy little pa
per. 1t was small paper, of
course, for a small town can not
support a large paper, but it was
better paper than any other Of like
size or any published in equally
small towns, that comes to our ex-
change table.
1t is said that Mr.. Holmes and
some of the business men of Isabel
have lately come to the parting of
the ways and, if that is true, there
was no alternative but that of sus.
pending publication.
