Aflcr having been in tlio Lanicpa for a
period of nearly hulfa century ns printer
unit publisher, and thirteen years in bus!-
na-u In LcUigliton. vro find oursclf com
pitied, oa account of fulling health, to
submit totho advice of our physician and
sovcr our connection with tho Carbon
AdV0Cte, in order to scctiro eonio suit'
able, occupation that will bo raoro con-
u aclvo to our health. In retiring from
the publication of tho Advocate wo re
turn onr Biuccro thanks to the citizens of
Lchlghton and the surrounding portion
of Curbon county for the liberal manner
i.Xwhich they have supported us during
tho pnstycars of our sojourn among them.
Tho Advocate to-day, in popularity,
stands second to none in the county, mid,
as in tho past, so in the future under its
new management, it will continuo to be
the 1-ArEU rem the people, and merit
tlio patronage heretofore given. In tak
ing leave of our patrons, we bespeak for
our successor, llAUBV V. Mohthimek,
Jn., tho confidenco and support of the
public, believing that he will fully main
tiin tho standard of excellence of tho
Advocate, and by polite attention to (lie
w.ints of his friends and gentlemanly de
portment win many new friends to his
support.
Very truly your.',
II. V. MojmnsiEB, Sit.
In assuming tho publication of the
Caheos Advocate, wc would simply
state that wo shall endeavor to keep its
columns- pure and chaste in sentiment
and expression; local affairs will claim
our especial attention; calumny and vin
dictive personalities will always bo ex
eluded from our columns, and our aim
will be to make it a paper for the whole
TEOPLE.
Our Job Printing Department is furn
ished with a neat and fashionable assoit
mcnt of material, to,which will bo added
new novelties in type as they appear.
Trusting to merit a continuanco of the
hitherto liberal patronage bestowed upon
the establishment, wo assume our duties.
All contracts mado by our predecessor
will bo faithfully carried out.
