In going out of the firm of Skinner &
Guild l would thank my many friends
in trade for their past favOrs. wishing
them to give Philander Guild, who con-
tiuues the business, liberal patronage.
G. S. SKINNER.
A little time spent in fixing up and
improving the streets would be no loss
even in hard times. A few hours work
by the owners of village lots would make
the appearance of the village much
better.
G. S. Skinner has sold out his store
buildings to Job Guild of Coventry, and
his portion of the goods to his former

will be carried on by Mr.. Guild, and he
will try to meet the wants of his custom
ers, as they have been met heretofore.
We hope "Chauncey" has not gone out
of business, except for the time being,
as he has always been very accommo-
dating business man.
