you indirectly in the good a news-

the fair city of Groom. V/e have
many reasons—but none of them are
because we are tired of living here:
Thirteen years ago we led a blush-

the funeral of her friend, Mrs. Du- j tine ’’blush of youth”, but she has

Her mother was a victim of tuber-
„ eulosis, and when" she said that she
thought the climate of New Mexico
would insure her against becoming
a victim of the same disease, we
ceased to haggle with the man who
wanted to trade with us.
We have been following the news-
paper business since 1908, and have
never gotten ahead financially; and
it seems that the time is ripe for us
to change occupation.
Newspaper work is very disagree-
able, because of the fact that we are
nut appreciated, and in some locali-
ties patronage of a, newspaper is
looked upon as acts of charity. V/e
are glad that there are no such men
in Groom, but that all see the mat-
ter as C. R. Slay expressed it at a
recent meeting of the Chamber of
le--—and we want to be more inde-
pendent. We have followed the bus-
iness for twenty years—because we
loved the work; have lived., in nine
different towns in four states—but
we must confess that Groom has the'
Lest set of business men to deal with
that v/e have ever encountered. Not
but very little job printing has been
sent out of town since we have baen
here—and v/e feel that even this
tie will be given to our sucee
who is a much better newspaper
than That Printer. We came
to put a newspaper on a busi
basis, and feel that we have sue
ed. We have tried to take our
of any load that had to be car
and asked donations from no
Our successor, Walter J.
formerly of Jayton, Texas, is a
ueated man, and has us bested by
years as a pencil pusher, and he has
been highly recommended to us.
Although this expression has been used for ages—
and has come to be regarded more or less as meanging*
less* yet we sincerely wish for each of yen the happiest
Christmas yon have ever enjoyed—and peace and pros-
perity throughout the coming year. Words fail to ex-
press our appreciation of your friendship and patron-
age—so we use the time-honored phrase, "Merry. Christ-
