A WORD OF FAREWELL
No doubt the an;niauncement wall come as a great surprise to our many'
neaclers that witth thee issue, we sever our connection' with the Exeter Ad-
vocate, having sold the business and Islaait to TheExeter Times Printing
Company, Limited, who will take posseasion on December : 1st .next.
The Advocate was established in he year 1887-onner 37 years ago-.
Eby the senior member of the present firm and has brother, the late William,
ors, Since that time there have bee:; .a few changes lin the manage-.
'meat, but for the, past 21 years the paper has .been conducted by the:pres-
ent management, C. H. Sanders and R. N. Creech. During our control ;,f
the destinies of the Advocate we have ever striven to make it a welcome
Visitor to, the leomea of the resitdesttte of Exeter, the surrounding country,
and tot Hosie whet have lett us for distant parts, band we are pleased to say
that we'havae every reason: to believe that our !efforts have; been appreci-
ated ai '- a large patronage extended to the paper.
Journalistic life its one of peculiar attractiveness to(thoset engaged there-
in. Intimate; ties are formed with Colleagues in the work, .with employes,
correspondents, friendly counsellors, subscribers, patrons, and advertisers,
and the, rupture of 'these long -existing, ties is always a, trying experiiencet
asvd it es no less so in this easel, where the connection has been, habitual and
eonstan4t,
Whsle The Adeocate has been no small factor in the! life of the town,.
rein. Into mood to boast, but would rather wish that it had been con-
ed -Ito better ,effect, that fewer mistakes had been made, and riper.
vaisa•m niOre, oftetn had been shown. But to err is human, so that. if all ex-
changed notes, it would be found a fairly ever; balance sheet. .However; the
work of past years speaks for itself, whether good or bad, and i,t cannot
be. changed now.
We have to thank the business men of Exeter and surrounding district
for the fh.earty support. extended, to us and ask that our patrons exten8 that
patronage accorded us to aur successor, Mr. J. aft Southeott, who is a
young man of energy, push and ability.
We have also to thank our correspondents for the. great assistance they
have. given'us in making the Advocate what it has been during our manage-
ment.
We are inclined to the belief that the town will be equally we11 served
with only one paper And it shoneld be a saving advantage eg far as, the :mer-
chants and business men are concerned. A combination of the tmva circula-
tions will make it an excellent advertising medium, and with a slight ad-
ditional cost advertising patrons will find it an easter Matter to support
one paper than two. In many '.towns the papers have been amalgarnated-
we.e, St. Marys, r4Iitcheli, Clinton, Brussels, W ingbam, Parkhill, and
,,4,:aGi' laces, and in all these the -esults have been moat satisfactory.
All Advocate; subscriptions will be continued by the 'Times -Advocate_
except where both papers have been going into the same home, in which
case adjustments will be made.
Certain unexpired,contract advertising in The Advocate;` will be continued
by The Times -Advocate, and adjustments made here also
And nowewe say adieu to all with best wishes.
COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS:,
The Advocate Office will remain oven for collection of all advertising
and job .printing accounts, which are payable to ;Messrs. Sanders &
Creech, and'which they desire to have ,settled during the month of ,D.ecem-
ber. All Advocate subscription accounts will be payable at the Advocate
times office during the nironth of December, The Advocate subscrib-
ers and patrons will realize the necessity of having all accounts. and sub-
scriptions paid at a very early date.
