"A Last Word to Our Readers.

We have come the parting of the ways AS stated in
another article in this ISSUE The Audubon Republican has
been sold and will pass into other hands Monday.
This action is not the result of sudden impulse hasty
determinations but is the outcome of frequent elaboration
within the last years. We have been 10th
trey loose from active business e but after arguing
the with ourselves up side and down the other
it seems best to do so without further delay
When George Francis Train running for President
independent candidate in 1872 he began his speeches
by saying Il have lectured thousand and nights
consecutvey and according all the rules of health
ought to be dead. But am still here and else
is willing to be President must take the Office myself
We have been in the business of teaching
school running newspaper for than forty years
consecuvey and according to all the rules of health
ought to be dead. Yet still here, and should it be
necessary might for President Our physician init
mates very strongly however that unless cast work
and worry the winds pretty may be here
the end of the next twenty to vote for President
We commenced driving oxen at the age of ten and
we have been driving something since. For 81
years we have been working to get out of work. and
we are going to quit for while anyway. Somehow or
other do not get along very well together anymore
We have had The Republican for six years and three
months and have sincere regrets that connection is
about to be severed In conduct of the paper have
been Open fair and courteous in treatment of the
pie and the discussion of public affairs And acknow
ledge the same kind of courtesy in return We take pride
in the fact that have secured and retained the respect
and good will of those who have held different opn
ions. In business way relations with patrons
have been exceptionally pleasant. In political way
have always followed judgment, and consider
it compliment that no one else has ever assumed to
dictate suggest what should be said DONE We
have given steady and hearty support to republican cand
dates and republican policies and have backed up by
voting the straight republican ticket In social way the
editor and his family have been recognized and treated in
a very kindly Many names have been added to
our long list of friends whom highly appreciate and
whom shall always remember with pleasure, wherever
may make our future home.
Our personal friends here and elsewhere will,
be pleased to learn that retirement from business
carries with it no anxiety except as to the manner in
which spend our time so as to insure health and
comfort of the body with peace and serenity of the mind
AS matter of information remark that for twenty
years and have talked of going to California
make home. Heretofore have always been too
busy to make it visit But planning to
60 early enough to escape the weather of the
ing winter and for time at least take up residence in
the southern part of that state where there hundreds
of people with whom we are acquainted We shall leave
Audubon with many regrets and carry with the most
kindly feeling toward all the people.
