Billy Spencer altho' he was one of the strongest scrapping com petitors the ARGUS publisher has had during the twenty-five years we have been here, was with it all a true friend.

 There are hundreds of people in Monroe county who appre 'ciate and love Spencer ever if the Sun didn't "rise and set'' just as though it ought, when he was editing it.
 As Billy Spencer returns to his good wife and his Colorado home he may feel assured that there are hundreds of Monroe county people who are wishing for him and his a long, happy life of usefulness, and that tho we be separated by many miles there are those who think of them and love them for what they are and what they have done.
