| - Miss Mozellc Inman. who has been
member of The Enquirer staff for
the past ten years. has given up her
position, after notice served on the
business management n month ago.

OF regret. for as all business people
know, il IL no light matter to give mp
n bright agreeable and efficient CO.
worker. after such long and pleasant
association. But of course the rca-
son makes a difference, and in this:
case II will have to be admitted that
the reason Is entirely justifiable. The
lucky young man is known and ap-
proved; but as to further informa-
ton we are still in the dark.
