City Editor, Howell J. Adair. Howell, as he is familiarly
known in Cieburn leaves today for Wichita Falls, where he
will be connected with the Chamber of Commerce in a
rosponsble position, as publicity manager.
Mr. Adair has been with the Review for more than two
yours, and during that time he has made numerous friends
in our city. Ho is a most efficient and capable editor and
a gentleman of highest degree of honesty and integrity. It
was with the greatest plaesure that we recommended him
to our old friend J. A. Kemp and the Wichita Falls Cham-
ber of Commerce. During his association with the Review,
Howell has met the utmost co-operation and appreciation
- from this management, and we regret very much to lose
him from the Review staff. The position he will occupy at
Wichlia Falls is one which requires- man of large calibre
and carries asalary much greater then could......be afn61 d e d

up to greater achievement—we are glad to see him go
