mond, has suspended, owing to the
lack of support, The following is the
editors own statement:
On account of financial embarrass-
ment the Herald is forced to suspend
publication until a more adequate
support a be secured from the
business men and people of the COM
munity During the year and four
months that the Herald has been
under its present owner an effort was
made to keep it up to the best stand
ard possible with the support received
and we believe it has deserved at least
a little better than it has received.
We have postponed this suspension
of publiction as long as possible be-
cavse we realize that in no other way
could Esmond take a longer step in
Ietrogression than by forcing its news
paper out of business. Friends! In
the name of your own success, how
much good will it will do for your
lips to shout "Vive! Vivel Esmondr"
when your every action says louder
than any words possibly could, Re
qulscat In peace"
