Show A CARD I was very much gratified that the notice relating to my withdrawal rom the Register appeared in the last issue of that paper, although it might have, been couched in more courteous terms. The two gentle mtn who composed the article pro- test that they ment nothing offen- j sive by their manner of expression, and knowing their probility, I am " bound to take their word, but at Jeast tht public should be more 1 discriminating J avail myself of their kind iavitatipn to state the i case from my own stand point. In i the first place I wish it understood i that I have had nothing to do with the last 6 issues, and that although convinced that Ephraim needs a paper worse than any other town in I San Pete County, I should have re- I signed six months since but for the I confidence reposed in me by certain I men who put money into the paper I with the understanding that I would I carry it through lot at least one I year. This I have done, and when , the Company pay me what is, due I trust we shall part friends, i Coming into San Pete practically I without capital to engage in the I hazzardous enterprize of publishing a county paper, I go out having no ' rnore means than when I came The rtsult of six years unrcmitt-i1 unrcmitt-i1 ing and consciencious effort being that I have neither filled my purse, I nor improypd my reputation for ; proficiency in news paper work, in f a vain attempt to "make bricks A without straW." I think I can say I without a suspicion of egotism that I have done more to place San Pete County's resources on a proper I footing with the rest of the Terri-t Terri-t tory than any one man, and no honorable man has impuncd my i motives, character or intecritv. '1 x In tonclusion I will say that there j', are many who predict the early death of the Rspister, but I hon-estly hon-estly hope all who are iu tympathy i' witjti its principle, and policy, wil ! rally to its suppurt, and will not j "permit such a catastrophy; and let ' it no longer be said that Salt Lake . ! iiy does more toward supporting J i the paper, thn1 does, Ephraim; and the gentleman who have assumed , '. charge has my respect and best ? Irishes for entire success, j ? To my many friends I take this ' opportunity to say, we shall meet again under more suspicious cir-; cir-; furjastances. ? James T. Jakeman. |
