X SORT OF NALEDICTORY.

8 X SORT OF NALEDICTORY.
 ro those who for almost three #Rrs, or, since June 3, 1915, have Flowed the wanderinss of this pen, 8 say Au Rcvoir.
 < @Ht is sad parting, at least on our Nc; but there are bright days ahead. Me leave aside the pcrfunctory Wor- Ms that beset the old sanctum sanc- N.um for the more adventurous @ngs of life,---the helping to win the @r. Where once we gloried in the Nrsuasion that the pen is miahtier
 sn the sword, we now go to prove Nat Uncle Sans war machine is Mpre formidable than the editorial
 sk.
 MIn our wake we leave friends,- #wlH made, it may be argued, but Mne theless true,-and these are com @nions of many walks and stations x life Nor shall we fail to count @long them the lane wherein this \ @rvcyor of public information Is as- #nbled ,--Church Street Persons, Haces, and things,--if they arc of x Many 8 night. when work was over @ newspaper TOW, have we wended
 Mr way to those dining places of the
 3 3sses, ,-one might almost say the x rincs Of tl1e Bolshevilli. And there ave we partaken of food fit for the
 N Hates of .patriarchs. Then, too, are Mose places where not only arc light Mnestihles. served but where Gany- Msde, cup bearer of the gods holds Firth soothing ambrosia. Bohemia? :?
 h would rather end our days hero Fan in EeIds afar.
 MAnd then there gre the Midnight #neys, busBes driven by chautfcurs lSno ever couple with their delightful Ewing prnclivities the duty of lock- Mg up the town. To all those who #ansport tired souls to havens of rest, ae Sataam and say Good bye. But x ough of this.
 x There is the old town itself, New \ 1tain. Coming here from larger Nkies, many travellers frankly brand Mis as the diruest, dingiest, we had Ernest said the damndest~ place in Even states. It was not so with us. Few Britain we found to be & good @ @wn, what with all a working town. @s people we saw to be great-with 8is one fault: They knocked the X lace unmerrifuliy,-wors than q \ ep-notI1er might talk about the Aiid Of her, second husbands s third life.
 Yet, with the passing of the Aonths, we noted a change in cpin- n; particularly amongst the old h. sa bitants. So we, too, came to love Jew Britain with q keener and better Eve. And, with the place we learned S hold a kindly admiration for it's A Ahabitants. There are some great Hearts throbbiug in this immediate @cinity. Noble men, and gentle @omen live in abundance in these en- Hrons. And, after all, town is nc aigger nor better than the tenor of its 5eople, of what magn1fi- Sent buildings are within it's precincts As for the old sheet, the Herald < ell, the less said about shop perhaps she better. We have, in the course o1 # somewhat checkered career, worked @ n some of the biggest dailies the #EGntry boasts of; but for them all Nc would not give one thirteen en #ofumn in this newspaper. Those Myho have rubbed elbows with us ir Nhe work of placing this journal be. < ore it's readers are all that newspaper Folk should be.---loyal, likeablc Mearned, and last but not least love, B ble. No more need be said. Nc Nnore can be said. It is a great old habitat, this New #5ritain. It's people are the blue @ploods of the earth God bless then #Byery one, and teach them to know Hand love their own home town as dt H~e who come by it merely through gbdcption. :. l. Y.
