now have more time to devote to our friends we
realize that in the strenuous times OF getting out

with business has any idea OF
the strain under which the and publisher OF

words spoken and written in behalf, and in ap-
probation of paper make feel that all of the
hard work have put in trying to publish a good
paper, has not been wasted.
Throughout the days come be they few many
