These are, perhaps, the last words I shall ever speak to the readers oftheTiMES-ENTERPRiSE. Last words are always sad ones, whether they are uttered by the bedside of dying loved ones or whispered with trembling lips by those that part either in anger, or in tears. For a great many years, not great in number, but great in the events with which they weretraught. I have been in the habit of speaking familiarly, through the medium of my pen, Jo the people of Thomas county, but that relation is at an end to-day Like any other good Darby and Joan we have had our little tiffs, but in the main we have not disagreed and now that 'he end has come we part good friends. I have seen fit to accept a call to ano her field, but I will never forget the people that have for so long been my audience. They were the first to receive my work kindly, and that kind ness has lasted to the end. May they all be as happy and pros perous as I would have made, diem if my power had been on a par with my Albert Winter. Stanley’s New Undertaking. H- nry M. Stanley is married.

The task is great, but who dare pre dict that he will not accomplish it? Need we sny that no man has over yet found a woman’s pocket? Has the feat been left for the great ex plorer of darkest Africa? Wc trust so. But he must he prepared for fail ure. Though he has accurately mapp ed the country of the Welkraribiti, stood by the dark waters of tho Ubetji Nyanzi, laid bare the mysteries of the Annyy R<on/.i Forest and marched from Blucboshin the west to Ujitzeha in the cast, still may he meet his Waterloo in tho pocket of a black dress on a hook.—New York Tribune SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU R.
