To the editor —

I want to congratulate Bob and Kathy Best on the sale of their family newspaper to Paddock Publications. The phrase “the end of an era” is overused, but it certainly applies here.
No community can stay honest and strong without a local source of dedicated, professional journalism, and the Best family has provided that for Moultrie County since JFK was a new president. It wasn’t easy, but I never heard any of them complain.
