A Change.
The last number of the Pekin Republican contains the valedictory of Mrs. W. W. Sellers and W. F. Henry, the publishers since the death of Mr. Sellers, in December last. Mr. J. F. Mounts, the editor, also retires. W. H. Bates, a well-known printer and newspaper man and J. R. Riblet, late of the regular army, have purchased the establishment and will hereafter conduct the paper. The new firm have our best wishes and we doubt not they will fully sustain the reputation of the Republican as one of the ablest Republican papers in the State.
