A SEVERANCE . AFTER mauy years of good citizenship and loyal service , there is every prospect that Bro .

many spheres of mercantile operations , or with a keener sense of duty . " Iu action faithful , and in hononr clear , " he has fulfilled a difficult and trying role with credit to himself and , we have no doubt , with an abundant profit to hia principal ; and we feel sure that , no matter where he pitches his tent , his private and commercial

we need say is , that his departure from Kimberley will be a cause of sincere regret to many here who have good reason to look upon him as a true and genial friend , and to scores of business acquaintances who knew full well that his word has always been as good as his
