the Chieftain editor. bids his read
ers adieu. The call to France has
become irresistible and, much rs We
have enjoyed our residence in Holly,
much as we have enjoyed the
friendships which have been form
ed here, much rs we regret to leave
the town and its good people be
hind we have turned our face to-
ward France and the great struggle
which is being staged there. With
in few days the writer will be on
his way to New York, from which
point he will embark for the fight
ing zone and the great work which
has been assigned him to do.
/ We have been called as a Secre-
tary of the Young Mems Christian
Association to assist in maintain
ing the morale of the armies of the
Allies. a task which is so treniend-
uous in it's Significance; a task
which offers such marvellous OppOr-

which will enable us to work SO
effectively for the cause OF right, for
the cause of Freedom and Christ

alone of the responsibilities involv-
ed make us hesitate at times to as
sumo the burden, which goes with
the place But the call has. come
and has been accepted and we go
out rejoicing that we will be able
to do our bit, even at the risk of
paying the price of the supreme
sacrifice" We're going out to serve
the boys at the front, and if we
can but lend hand to the boys
from Holly as we pass along we'll
be happy, indeed.
| To the merchants of Holly who
have stood by US SO valiantly dur

our sincere thanks and to our pat

Z .
splendid patronage we have enjoy
ed we have the warmest feeling in
our hearts. The world is not wide
enough and the dangers involved
in our new undertaking. are not
grave enough to permit us to tor
get even for moment the many
kindnesses received here and the
good friends who have contributed
to our success and our happiness.
G. Clinton Page, the editor and
publisher of the Wiley Journal,
will be the new editor Of the Holly
Chieftain. Mr.. Page is veteran of
the newspaper game and he has
made good to remarkable degree.
He knows the business from every
angle, is splendid writer, finish
cd printer and practical and pro-
gressive business man.. But over
and above all, Mr.. Page is graced
with an abundance of common
sense and that equality of poise
which is necessary if the greatest
measure of success is to be attain
ed. We have known Mr.. Page but
a short time but in that limited
acquaintance we feel justified in
offering the foregoing introduction
which we believe to be correctly
drawn. The new editor will assume
complete charge Monday morning
and the writer OF these lines will
step down and out at that time.
We believe Mr.. Page is entitled to
every courtesy we have received and
that he should receive the same
generous patronage accorded us.
Our friends could do nothing which
would please us more than to give
him the hand of welcome and to
stand by him in the future as they
have stood by us in the past.
With this rather elongated in
PRODUCTION ana farewell we once
more thank our many friends for
many courtesies received and
kindnesses shown and with kind
est regards to all we bid them all
adieu.
!. w. H. WOODHOUSE.
A SUCCESSFUL EDITOR.
