We regret, for many reasons, to lose DR.. j.
J.. Taylor from the business ranks of orr city,
bni il seems that it is inevitable. After a
prosperous, and, for new country a some
what protracted career, during which he has
established reputation for enterprise and
business capabilities, the DR.. now retres to
private life, or rather, we believe, TO the prac-
tice of his profession. 1t affords MS great
pleasure TO extend to the Dr., on this occasion.
our best wishes for his continued happiness
and prosperity in the new position to which
he has transferred himself
We would in this connection congratulate
the public upon the acquisition of Mr.. B. F.
Copeland to the list of active business men of
the city, that gentleman having purchased the
entire stock Of Drugs and Books of DR.. J. L.
Taylor. It is unnecessary to say that Mr.
Copeland is an energetic and capable business
man, every way calculated to preserve and ex-
tend the reputation already acquired by the
establishment. A reference to his advertise
ment in this Issue, will satisfy any one that
his stock Of Drugs and Books, Stationery, &C.,
is very complete, and every way equal to the
demands Of this market. We wish Mr.. Cope
land great success.
We are glad to see DR.. Williamson In connec-
ton with this establishment. Prescriptions
prepared by him will command the respect of
Physicians and the public.
