Cairo, from somewhere in the central part
of the state photographer by the name
of -. Mr., shortly after
his arrival here, purchased the photograph
gallery Mt the corner of Eighth street and
Ohio levce, and went into the business on a
large scale. Everything went on smoothly
while in business at this place, and it was
not long until he had won the
confidence and respect of those
with whom he came in contact. |
He was upright and honorable in all his |
dealings, and was looked upon by our peo-
pie as an honest and straightforward gen.
tleman.
For about a year, or perhaps a little |
longer, Mr. continued to carry on the
photograph business, and to the outside
world appeared to be making money. For
some cause, however, about this
time he sold out his interest in the
gallery and left tho city. Since
that time he has been run
ming travelling photograph gallery,
going from place to place. and remaining
at each town only SO long as trade was
good. The last place at which We hear
from him is Milburn, KY, small town
about eighteen miles from Columbus. 1t
