For the past forty one years Mr. Marshall has been a subscriber to this paper. In many of our editorial expressions he differed, materially, with us, but he was always broadminded and granted us the privilege he took of forming and expressing opinions on matters that concerned the interests of the people. Mr.

Marshall has been a resident of this county for the past fifty years or more. He has been successful in his business operations and, notwithstandin gthe flight of time and the growing number of years added to a long life of usefulness, he carries himself errect and he may live to serve his people for many years to come. We have heard much about the generous spirit of Mr. Marshall, how he helped the needy and brought back the smiles for those who were sufferers in the pit of despondency. In the spirit of the New Year we wish to say that we hope that he will live for many years to come and that his hand of charity to the needy will grow stronger as the years come and go.
