Greene, Butler, Iowa
December 22, 1909
The firm of Mayne & Darland, publishers of the Palo Alto
Reporter at Emmettsburg, Iowa, have dissolved partnership,
as will be seen by the following taken from the Reporter:
The firm of Mayne & Darland has been dissolved by mutual
consent. H.C. Darland retires from the Reporter after
seven years of service on it. He goes to Carrington, N. Dak.,
where he has purchased a paper and will conduct it. He goes to a
good town and should be able to do a prosperous business. He is a
splendid workman and this will enable him to be
more independent than if he only knew one side of the business.
The Reporter will remain in possession of L.H. Mayne. He
assumes all debts of the firm and takes all accounts coming to
the firm.
