Curry having leased Mr. John Martin’s interest, it is with pleasure that I turn over to these gentlemen the responsi¬ bility of furnishing White County with a Newspaper, Fearing that I might follow my predecessors in t he newspaper business, that is as some have said, “break,” I thought best to sell my interest in tlie same to those who were more experienced in the paper business, and who were more able to stand it, should tlie people of White see fit to let them break. Thanking my friends for their support while and during tlie time I have been connected with the paper, and assuring them that the l at per will now be better than, it has been for some time previous, 1 trust that the people of White County will give the paper their loyal support, and that all the public officers of the county will, when opportunity presents for ad¬ vertising, not forget that we have a county newspaper, and that the gentlemen who are running it, like the balance of us, have to live. Again thanking the previous sup¬ porters of the Cleveland Courier for their kindnesses, I am, Yours Very Respectfully, G. S. Kyti.k.

No doubt our Uncle Lou would have used his influence for the Gate City had j he known her people were anx¬ ious to he in the path of the eclipse. This convention would very well follow the recent ca¬ nine show. A Miners Convention. One of the most inter¬ esting conventions of the year will he held in Milwaukee, Wis. June, 1$. when the men who dig the many metals from Moth¬ er Earth assemble to exchange ideas and perfect plans by which the mineral interests of the coun¬ try will he more fully developed.
