KOTICiS. cT HiJREB^T NOTIFY tha^t I have this X day disposed, of my right and;interest m the Manawattj Timbs to JOHN DtJNdAljrr by -whom i the,paper4will:in future beicbn-; ducted. - -The step has; been caused by. failing health, and while I giatefully 'tender m^. heartiest, thanks to those who have accorded a liberal support* m the past; I would ask- its continuance m the fut ure for the new proprietor. -- ••.-.- - ..... . rr ~,_ 7 ».. It is my intention' to retain the Jobbing porlion^of the plant, and being thus relieved of the {greater fespbnsibjlity;?l trust t6 be able to Iderote such care and att©nti6n fo that branch of the business at the growth of the district and its increasing wants necessitate. :. • '' : . c / : ',/:;;,., ■'.;- :•-'.■■- ■-., • ""■•;._...-• : , jpSEPH.P. LEAKY. , As nas been notified above, from this issue the . !Tnps will be -tarried on under a new | proprietary. Mr J. P. Lbaby, to whom m ! the firsi place its existence is due, and to] whose ability and able conduct its present .success must be attributed, has been obliged by failing health tadjsposejoi M hia interest, j and to -seek » relaxation which -it was impoßsible:to,enjoy while m ohargebf a paper. In taking over a journal, the literary columns of which have :been under my charge for the past *six months, , >l Jiave. been ;' ;.in- ; nuenced bjr- the numerous arid unmiatakeable ; pledges i6f^s^p,p^jt'wiih : w,hieh^l hare' beeii fmet upon ail sides; JThis to, tne is certaihlyi the moat convincing evidence 'that the man-; "neir m which the Timbs has ; Bfeen conducted i has been endorsed by public opinion. It 43! true during that "timeall has not been plaiiv sailing, |and Us leading columns have found it necessary at times to attack public tollies and differ with .priviite persons } but while the first was a duty from which it did not shrink^ it is most consoling that those very persona with;. whom the differences did occur ; not only how accord sincerity 'for the course pursued, but at the present time rank as its stauUcheat supporters. The flourish - ing position pf-the-TiMBSf whilst-in a great nVeasure owing to the able management and popularity of the late proprietor, is also • result (of.the; liberal support which it has received ; but while that must be conceded tojthej larger number, there are still some .from whom support has never yet been received; ; U K "may i be as' Well that the .people! 6f 'Upper Manawatu should know that xery ieduclive offers have been made m the past to i.nduce^the, late proprietor to ; remove the paper from Falmeniton,' and the "/Herald" at Foxton is the outcome of.. the retUßal MTW-ddr-Uijder those circumstancesr then, I .think£it^in»j be: fairly^askecl;t]iat Ihose who have the district at heart should 'accord; a liberal support m the future, m order to moreisuccessfully. combat thelopjior: sition^hereby raised up.
