LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

RETIREMENT OF n. Is. WILLIsroN. The dissolu-
ton of copartnership Of long continuance and the
withdrawal of name that for years has been prom
nently associated with mercantile pursuits, by the
retirement of one who in point Of time ut least, is
the first among the business men of Bratlebcro, is
a matter worthy Of passing notice
reference to advertising columns will in
dictate the retirement of y. b. Williston from
house of which he has been the head for nearly for
! ty years. Like the removal Of an ancient landmark
this change will seem to our elder citizens In
these days Of constant mutation when such maine
is withdrawn it comes home with peculiar force to
the few who can recall the pleasant associations Of
u business intercourse during all this long period,
and is suggestive Of the changes that sooner or Ia
ter must overtakc all
Mr.. Williston' name has occupied such posi
ton in the past Of Brattleboro that we cannot re-
frain from deyiating from our usual course in no.
ticing briefly some facts connected with his mer-
camille career; and We are sure their presentation
will be acceptable to many of cur readers
Mr.. Wlliston is the son Of the late Rev. DR.. Paw
son Willston Of Easthampton and brother of Hon.
Samuel Wiston now of that town. The son Of n
respected but poor parish clergyman, Ii came to
Brattleboro, about the year 1870 at the early age
of thirteen, and was duly apprentced to Clark &
Hunt, druggists. (Mr. Clark has since removed to
Hartford, and is the father of Hon. Ezra Clark, Jr,
NJ. {. for the LIST Congressional District Of Connec
ucut' MIR. Hunt always resided at NortbamptonD
Mr. Williston faithfully serye ed out his apprentice
'A'P' ~N'"" continued during the remainder OF his
minority. lie then left and went 10 Boston where
he remained about year. At the urgent solicita-
tons Of Mr.. Hunt he returned to Bratteboro and
bought out the interest Of Mr.. Clark, and continued
the business under the firm of Williston & Hunt
until the year 1928. He then purchased the half
Of Mr.. Hunt and sole owner of the concern I'M
til the LIST Of January 1886, when he took Ferdi-
nand Tyler into partnership and the firm chang
ed to Williston Tyler. Within the last three
years it has received addition Of Co."
Mr. williston retires with sufficient competence
and the esteem Of those with whom he has done bu-
sinesS. Having been elected to the honorable and
responsible position Of President Of THE WlNDnAM
County BANK within the last year he will hereaf-
ter devote his time and ripe business experience to
the interests Of that institution.
