he expects to arrive after about fourteen
days. From there he goes inland by
rail about 40 miles to Mayo County,
where he will spend the winter with
some of his uncles whom he has never
yet seen. We wish him pleasant trip
and visit, and safe return home in the

Aaron Twombly. who has been sue
cessfully engaged in mercantile pursuits
in this village for the last l6 years. has
purchased the G Fl. Weeks house and
the store built by the Weekses, in Lyn-
donville, and goes to that place this
week to open the store, and to keep q

family are to leave this place; they are
among our best citizens, and it will be
hard to make their places good. The

find MIR. TwOmbly courteous and honor
able. and should extend to him liberal
patronage.
