We Retire From the Journal. With this issue the undersigned, editor and proprietor retires from the direction and control of the Journal. From the moment we assumed this responsibility it has been our constant aim to give the people a paper which would reflect the best interests of Syracuse and the country hereabouts, socially, politically and pecuniarily. In this endeavor we have been loyally sustained by a worthy and growing clientage. The people of Syracuse despite their unhappy experiences with some of our predecessors in the newspaper field, have sustained the Journal and its staff and we take this opportunity of expressing our cordial thanks therefor. We repeat what the Journal has heretofore said frequently, that the great majority of this community, town and country, stand for the best things in life. The people are progressive and support public enterprises in away that leaves nothing more to be asked for. Its churches and schools and benevolent organizations measure up to the full stature of the community. It is our firm belief that we are standing on the threshold of a period ofunusal growth and the future holds for this community a season of great prosperity Knowing our people we are assured that no opportunity to speed the coming of the improved conditions will be allowed to escape. The Journal is passing into the hands of a young gentleman, wholly familiar with newspaper work; fully in sympathy with the spirit of progress and endeavor which characterizes the town, and under his direction the Journal will prove a greater factor in the welfare of the communiny than ever before. Therefore in making our farewell we are conscious of doing what will prove a benefit if not a blessing to all concerned therein. We take pleasure in introducing to the readers ot the Journal Mr. Geo. 0. Snyder, of Toledo? Ohio, who is a capable newspaper man, having devoted all of his life to this business. Mr. Snyder being a stranger here will greatly appreciate the kindness of all who will assist by sending in

Mr, Strieby had left only a short time before for Ligonier. Their son Harry was working in a field nearby and was the first one on the scene. He was assisted by C. W. Strieby in removing the articles which were saved. Everything up stairs, down cellar and in the kitchen was destroyed except a cream separator which was taken from the kitcuen. Over 200 cans of fruit were in the cellar. They succeeded in saving a china closet, book case, one dresser and one bed outfit, two stoves, one rug and some rockers, Mrs. Strieby’s coat and a dress belonging to the little daughter.
