Salutatory
To the many friends and patrons of THE GAZETTE I wish to announce that I have taken charge of THE GAZETTE, succeeding Mr. Munholland, whose valedictory appeared in last week’s issue. I will do my utmost to hold the paper up to the high standard which it has attained through the excellent work of Mr. Munholland as editor and Mr. Ernest Gilbert as manager of the mechanical department.
Being preceded by such a well known and pleasing writer as Mr. Munholland, I cannot help but feel that my light, at first, will be rather dim, contrasting with the brightness of the one which he has left behind, but I trust that so soon as the readers of THE GAZETTE get from under the spell which my predecessor has been wont to hold them under, I may be more able to interest them.
Trusting that I may be able to both please and interest you, I am,
Sincerely yours,
L. H. BARNES.
