June 15, 1904

This issue of THE GAZETTE terminates my connection with the paper as editor, as I only took temporary control, pending the proprietor’s opportunity to secure an editor. I will be succeeded by Mr. L.

We wish THE GAZETTE and the new editor abundant success. — Very truly, W. D. MUNHOLLAND.
