Owing to the more )han scarcity of available printers 1 his is the first paper we were able to get out since. We hope our j many patrons will be patient with 11s until we can get the paper in proper running order again. The departure of Mr. John was entirely unexpected to us, and the fact was not brought to our attention for several days after he had left the town. The management of thi p a per has been entirely in hi, s hands since last July, audit will take some time to get things again iu proper running order, ac counts looked after, correspondence attended to aud many other things we cannot at present mention, (live us time and we will try and see that everything comes right in the. end.
