Retiring of "More Anon
AS Correspondent Would
Cause Regret. Oyster
Supper by w. o. w.

This is the fifty-frst letter to The
Advertiser this year, and to those
who have been kind enough to say
they have enjoyed my 'scribblings,"
] doff my hat, while to others who
have been intolerant because my
views Of things run counter to
theirs, ! have no feelings of ill will.
T giant especially to thank my
Young friend whom I met on the
train not long since, although a
comparative stranger, for offering
lme;a ten dollar fountain pen on ac-
'coant of my having ''scribblers
itch, according to noted authori-
ty, whatever that may mean. This
Of course did not hurt the giver and
he was kind enough to intimate that
he hoped it would not cure the itch.
Seriously this may be my last
letter TO The Advertiser, the oner-
Gus duties of correspondent falling
possibly upon younger and more
competent shoulders, therefore l
desire to express my good will to
everybody especially to the many
readers of The Advertiser, hoping
for each and all merry Christmas
anda happy new year.
