In connection with the above, it is

THE RETIRING EDITOR.

The announcement that Mrs. Jesse O..
Wheeler will no longer direct the af-
fairs of the Herald, as managing editor,
will be received with regret by many
hundreds of readers of the paper
throughout the Valley and in the state
at large.
For reasons of her own she has seen
proper to lay down the very heavy bur
dens she has borne during the years in
which she has directed the affairs Of
this paper.
She has made the Herald not only a
force for good in the community where
it is published, but has caused it to be
recognized among the important jour
nails of the state. Under her wise and
efficient management it has become IN
important factor among the business in
situations of Brownsville, with IA pay roll
mounting into the hundreds Of dollars
per week, and giving support to many
families.
1t is not f~attery but simple incontest-
ahlo truth to say that she has done more
for Brownsville and the Lower Valley in
her Office as editor of the Herald, than
any other individual in the community.
No commcndablc enterprise affecting
the business, social. or moral well being
of the community has ever failed of her
endorsement and Of the wide publicity
her endorsement carried with it. Times
without number, u%ngrudgingly and I'M
hesitatingly, she has given lavishly of
the newspaper space at her command. of
her own personal labor, and of the time
of her paid employees, for the benefit of
enterprises she regarded as commend
able. In all the years of her connection
with the Herald it has not been seen
that she has commended anything that
was not good or endorsed anything that
was bad. Hers is that clarity of iudg-
ment which always characterize the
born leader. Events have inevitably
shown her to he right in her judgments
of men and of measures.
What she has done for the public veal
has been without expectation or desire
