Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-01-13

the midst Of whom have been raised
and whose well-being I have learned
to regard with singleness Of eye, m!
earnest devotion to all influences which
tend to promote the honor Of the print
er's craft-these will, am sure, be in
centives strong enough to nerve me or
to the highest purpose, and make me
to work increasingly. These considera.
tions, too. will suffice. hope, to assure
the friends and patrons Of the paper;
and throw around my humble efforts
the mantle of charity which always
seeks to hide the faults Of the earnest
and honest laborer.
The editorial department will be
conducted by Samr. w. Melton, Esq.
of whose qualifications for the task. II
is unnecessary for me to urge a word
The readers of The Enquirer know his
pen; and they will be as ready and as
willing as have been to extend to him
a warm clasp Of welcome. OF course
the tone Of the paper will partake
largely Of the spirit which formerly
marked its conduct-in a political as
pect, especially, involving an almost
entire change. I need not say that the
political character Of a paper Is the re-
flex Of the political character OF Its
editor-the doctrines 1t urges, are those
of the editor alone; and the reader will
not expect, in this particular, any ma
terial difference between the two prin-
ciples that are in future to direct the
editorial columns, and those which
marked the course Of the paper during
the first two years Of its existence. Or
all other topics-especially in the advo-
cacy Of temperance and sound mo-
rality, the course of The Enquirer will
know, be right onward.
The selections Of reading matter will
devolve upon myself. I will, also, en-
deavor to manage, alone, the financial
and business departments, and will al
ways be found in the office ready to dc
prompt and willing service to my
patrons. The job office, which Is al
ready we'll supplied, will be continually
replenished with needful material, and
every effort will be made by me to fil
all orders in that department, neatly
and with despatch. In few days ex-
pect to receive a new machine card
press, which will enable me to print
cards, bill-heads, circulars, envelopes
etc., at rates lower than can be obtain
ed elsewhere out Of Columbia and
Charleston. The supply Of law blanks
will be kept up diligently: and in fine
in all the departments Of the business
l shall employ my best efforts to meet
satisfactorily the demands Of the pub
lie.
By the terms Of the purchase, pay
ment will be due me since the first oi
January last; and all sums due before
that date are payable to John L. Miller
& Co. The accounts. however, remain
in the office, and l shall take pleasure
in settling with all who may call.
To my former co-laborers / extend
the parting hand with sincere regret
The ability which has marked theil
management has made 1t pleasure tc
work after them; and the uniform
kindness and forbearance which they
have constantly extended to me merit
and receive unfeigned gratitude
My warmest wishes go with them
throughout their journey Of life, that
their labors may be crowned with
abundant success, and their final re-
ward be the well DONE" Of the faithful
servant.
I need say nothing more. With the
assurances 1 have given, and knowing
that my own diligence, and strict at
tention to business will be my best
guaranty, leave it to the patrons oi
The Enquirer and to generous public
to mete out my reward, just as the
measure Of my labors may deserve to
be rewarded.
