The Suichow official has been changed. This city is one of the best appointments in this prefecture. The late chichow has held the office for two years, and has won golden opinion among his superiors and among the people. Never with but one exception do remember having dealings with any official who was as just, as benevolent, or as prompt as this one. His early training, which was largely in yamens where he ha much to do with foreigners, has had good effect upon hit.
The poor people regret that he leaves, but the runners rejoice, thinking that a new official may give them opportunity to obtain larger gains. The late chichow who has been promoted doubtless by reason of nierit is expected here in a few days to take leave of the chi fu.
