Wednesday Morning,—Sept. 26,1877
TO THE PUBLIC.
Feeling the need of recreation
and the temporary cessation of
work. I announce this morning to the
readers of this journal the severance of
ray editorial connection with the Roue
Courier. In making this announcement
I desire to acknowledge the uniform
courtesy and kindness of the proprietor
t oward me, to return thanks to my friends
for their many kind acts in the way of
assistance as well as for their good wishes
in my behalf, and also to express my ap
preciation of the accommodating spirit
manifested toward me fcy the several
printers who, at different times, have
served on the paper since my connection
with it.
In behalf of my successor I bespeak
that patronage which his charactor so
eminently merits, and which his ability
will so fully command.
Jno. Hix Bass.
TO THE PUBLIC.
I have :issumed the duties of asso
ciate editor of the Courier. In the
discussion of men and measures it shall
be my purpose to strive earnestly and
nonestly to be moved alone by a sense
of impartiality and fairness—and shall,
at least, enjoy the consciousness of hav
ing been actuated by no less worthy a
