The people of Negaunee are sorry to see Mr. Kilmer leave, for he was one of the best agents the road has ever had here, and the business men found in him a man who was uniformly courteous, who attended strictly to his busness and who was ever ready to oblidge any and all who had occasion to seek a favor at his h and s. After spending a week or so in the North West, Mr. Kilmer will go to his old home in Tennessee. The Mining Journal trusts that happiness and prosperity will attend him wherever his lot may be cast, and the wish will be heartily echoed by the people of this city.
