TO the SuBScRlaERS
Of the TIMES

Friends:
When last Weeks issue was
published I did not know that it
would be the last under my man.
agement, and I take this means
now Of bidding you the kindest
adieu, as a publisher. :,
The paper has had its full share
OF good will and patronage, for
which I thank you. and ask that
you extend the same courtesies
TO my successor. Mr.. e. w. spen-
Ger, that you have So generously
bestowed upon me. -
Mr.. Spencer is q publisher of
experience and will undoubtedly
make The Times q better and
more readable paper than it has
ever been in the past, but he will
need your assistance and COOP
Grafton to bring it up to a stand
point to which city of this size
is entitled.
The four and a half years that 1
have spent as publisher of The
Times have been very pleasant
ones to me and in leaving the Of
flee. i have a much wider acquain-
- 80.

sALurAToRY.

In assuming control of tho
Wahpeton Times as it's editor anc
publisher, feel it to be due its
readers to say that it shall be the
aim of the new publisher at all
times to make it flrst-class
county newspaper. Everybody
is the county is, or ought to be-
interested in what is going on in
the county we live in, and it shall
be my aim to gather this news
while it is fresh and present il
to the readers of The Times i'm
partially and in readable form.
Editorially, the paper will con-
tinue to be Democratic. About
one-half of the people of the
city and county are Democrats
and they are entitled to a news
paper that will advocate what they
believe to be best for the country
In doing this, The Times will aim
to be clean, reliable and progress
sive, and never abusive. The new
editor has no pets to. favor and
no enemies to punish. Every
body will get a square deal.
am not an entire stranger to
the people of Wahpeton and Rich
land county as have twice been
a resident and for the past nine
months I have had abundant OPP
portuity to get acquainted, es-
pecially with the business men of
the city and county, and I have
confidence to believe that they will
do their full share toward giving
The Times the continued support
that will enable its publisher to
place and keep it in the front row
as booster for the city and coun-
". II they will do their part, and
I believe they will. the new pub
Usher will do his. 49,.
Wahpeton and Richland county
is my adopted home, and it is the
only home I have. Here we have
cast our lot, and here we shall
continue to labor for all that
seems best for the city and the
county. I have faith that you will
stand by The Times as it will
stand by you, and that you will
not have occasion to regret the
change in management that has
just taken place.
Very Respectfully,

peton should have a produce
market, and why not? If Wahpe-
ton had a good cash market for
all products of the farm, instead
of for grain only, it would bring
farmers here to deal from both
sides Of the river and all parts of
the two counties. 1t would also
encourage the raising of more
farm produce and tend to cheaper
the cost of living. For we could
then buy for our tables many
things we now have to send away
for and pay two OF three profits
on instead of only one.
Certainly Wahpeton should
have a produce market. TO be
sure, the grocers already buy a
certain amount of farm products
for home consumption, but none
of them make a specially of pro-
fduce and do not buy it for the pur-
pose of shipping it away. OF
course, they sometimes get too
much butter and eggs, and have to
ship some of them away. But
that is not in their line of bust
ness and they would prefer to be
spared having to do so.
What Wahpeton needs, per-
haps more than any other one
thing now, is a produce market
open to buy any kind Of farm
products, where they may be turn
ed into cash. 1t would provide a
cash market for butter, eggs,
cream, potatoes, cabbage, tur-
.nips, rutabagos and every other
product of the farm and gardens
that people want to eat. 1t would
be a good thing for everybody. J:
A good cash. produce market in
Wahpeton would add much to the
business done here by merchants
and grocers and hotel keepers that
they could well afford to take
stock in such a house and thus
help start it, il need be. Who
will take hold of this matter and
start the ball a-rolling !;
