Farewell!

With this issue the Independent
passes from the ownership of the
Undersigned to several business
man of Tabor, the real boosters
who's are really interested in the
towa Of Tabor and who realize
that i newspaper is a great asset
forany town. The undersigned
bouaht the paper fourteen years
ago last February and has been at
The Asim during all Of this time.
Hs his seen. Tabor grow from
smaIl Village to a town of 500 hun
deed population. At all times he
tried 10 give the town a paper that
would compare with the best of
them, altho handicapped in the
twollsnguage feature of the paper.
Tie Bohemian department natu-
rally will from now on be discon-
tinued, because it is almost i'm
possible to secure a man that can
writein Bohemian and American
and at the same time be printer.
The slogan now is Zone country,
one language and the time is not
far away when, for the good of
America, all foreign language
newspapers must be discontinued.
Tabor can we'll support paper.
1t hasseverything in this respect
and if towns like Dante with about
100 population, and there are o.
ther towns, that can support a
newspaper, Tabor can do the same.
The next Editor by the elimination
of the Bohemian department, will
have an easier job. In our opinion
there is no reason why it should
be continued at this time when
this country demands one Ian
guage. ,..L.r
The writer intends to move to
Fremont, Neb, with his family
where he will buy a Photographic
studio with Emanuel Blachnik.
He is not leaving because the bus
mess was not good, but because
he is confident that he will do
better in his new line; and all of
us are trying : to do better. Be-
fore leaving Tabor where we have
spent over fourteen years, we will
say that we had many sincere
friends, and while we also made a
few enemies, on the whole we
were satisfied until something bet
ter came up and we took advan-
tage of it. The writer and his
family before departing to their
new home wish to express their
sincere thanks to each and every
one of our friends and patrons
and bespeak a continuance of
this relationship for the new
owners. An experienced editor
and printer has been hired to take
charge Of the paper for the new
owners and we assure the readers
of the Independent that it will be
as good paper as it ever was.
Wishing all luck and success the
writer, after fourteen years, con-
cludes bis activity in Tabor with
malice toward none, but friend
ship for all. Goodbye! 4
