his own name. His partner, residing at
Memphis, Tennessee, could not con.

has been entirely harmonious, is dissolved
by mutual consent, bu. with regret, also
mutual, that the interest Of each Of the
partners should render dissolution neces-
sary.
Heretofore the actions Of the undersign-

business conduct by desire to not step
beyond the wishes Of an absent partner
whose interests were at stake with his
own; but now this embarrassment has
been removed, and he will not fail to avail
himself of the liberty brough, to him by
the consciousness that his own vel.
fare Is alone at stake, to risk all he has in
an attempt to make THE BULLETIN print
