the town we have since celled nan it has been a yaw of iaarotn now teielnees a new town a new ditrtcen mtor- eattag ytwj and an exciting one because we can ttotafc m otter we which oud be o interesting or exciting s that of a neanckapefman we flrat thought of newspaper work as a career while we were a uuvemity undergraduate through tbe interest roy vaedusen pub- llsher of the tat leader we aeoured an introduction to stewart moore then editor of the port esgm times and a relative of roy- by marriage the outcome of this meeting was that we spent a summer in fort egtu in the times office which developed in us a real affection for newspaper translating thought into action was another matter however and we abandoned newspaper dreams for what seemed then the more prac tical profession of accounting and auditing the work for which we bad pent lour years training at cottegfe by coincidence it was with the to ronto firm of edwards morgan ac co of which roy edwards farmer oeorgetowner was a member that we secured employment during our months working as a junior auditor iiowever we eouwn t seem to get the newspaper idea out of our head spurred on by a father who encouraged the idea we kept an eye open for likely prospects and in late december 1836 we found wluu we had beentvalting for a bright little newspaper in a wide awake town prom then on tt was only a question of lime until we put our audit ing books on the shelf and traded die auditors pen for the reporters pencil it has been as we have bald an interesting and exciting year we ra lo oeorgutowii us a compleu stranger to the district and to the in habitants we came aa almoct a complete stranger to the work we have chosen we can honeuy y thai wi have never had a moments regret in choooing the course we did ii lias not been all smooth sailing but after all a ilfe with no rough spot la a monotonous one we liave earn estly tried from the very first to turn out an interesting newspaper and in

u second to none will lug workers wlio take a pride ui uielr work and are ever on the alert for new ideas mow as wc settle down to a second year as editor we have only one thought ui mmd to give you a continuously better newspaper which will reflect all the news of the district return of the native coming to live in a small town has been a real home coming for us although we spent most of our life in the city tlie fact that we liad been born in the biuce county town of chesley always remained with us and someday we always hoped to get back to small town life during this past year we have experienced that grand feeling which a city man is never privileged to know to walk down the street and liave your heilo echoed by everyone that passeo to know your neighbours intimately to share with them their successes and sorrows and to know that they are likewise sharing your own to trade lhe insane mile- minute speed of uty life for the healthier quieter and happier life in a small town a pool has caught the tempo of city life in this poem which we reprint below to our mind town life is the direct antithesis of the thoughts expressed around lhe corner i liave a friend in this great city that has no end yet days go by and weeks rush on and ere i know it a year has gone and i never see my old friends face for life is a swift and terrible race he know i like him just as well as in the daya when i rang his bell and he rang mine we were younger then and now we are busy tired men- tired with playing a foolish game tired with trying to make a name tomorrow i say i u call on jim just to snow im thinking of him but tomorrow comas and tomorrow goes and the distance between us grows and grows around the corner i yet miles away here a telegram sir jim died today i and that what
