The society is in quite fourishing
condition. The past years work was
closed with $35 in the treasury.
E. B. Thayer, who has been con-
nected with the Central office for near
ly ten years, has removed his job office
to McCrossen's block and in a few
weeks will issue a paper of his own
Democratic in politics. During his
career with US our relations have been
of the most pleasant nature and in the
new departure we hope for a eontinu-
ance. Gene is a good printer, indus
trious and honest, and we wish him
abundance of prosperity.
The above from the Wausau Central
is a merited compliment. Mr.. Thayer
is one of Wausau's finest young men
and only good wishes should follow
his steps. Whether Wausau is able
to support another paper or not is a
question which will be determined by
experience. Gene has hosts of friends
and will undoubtedly make the new
paper success.
Mr.. E. S. King, late of Grand
Rapids, a druggist of ten years, ex-
perience, has purchased M. D. Morris
stock of drugs and will continue the
business that has been so long and
successfully conducted here under the
supervision of Mr.. NJ, whose reason
for selling is ill-health, occasioned by
too close confinement, but he will re-
main in the store tw o or three mouths,
until his outstanding accounts are
collected. His future movements he
is unable to determine at present, but
we trust he will conclude to remain
with US and enter into some business
that will be more congenial to his
health. To Mr.. King we extend a
warm greeting and hope chat he will
be pleased with the place and people
and be successful with his new pur-
chase. He informs us that as soon as
he can secure house he will remove
his family here.-N Vas. Ne'os.
Mr.. King is and has been, one of
Grand Rapids most promising young
men, and we are sorry to part with
him. We can assure the good people
of Merrill, they will find Mr.. King a
most pleasant man to deal with in any
of the different walks of life. He
is hard worker, honest, upright, and
a deserving young man.
We are requested to say that the
Scientific american came out of the
late fire in New York, like the tabled
Phoenix, with renewed life. The sub
scription lists, account books, patent
records, patent drawing, and CORE
spondence were in massive fire proof
safes. The printing of the Scientific
american and Supplement was done in
another building; consequently the
types, plates, presses, paper,
etc., were unframed, and no Interrupt
ton of business was occasioned.
The new Scientific American Offices
are located at 261 Broadway, corner
of Warren Street, very central and
excellent situation. The new build
ing fronts towards the City Hall, the
Court House, and the New Post Office
and magnificent structure, which
cost eight millions TO build. Nearly
opposite, and afew hundred feet distant
from the Scientific american offices.
is the entrance to the great Suspension
Bridge over the East River, between
New York and Brooklyn, which re-
quired ten years to construct and
twenty millions of dollars to pay for.
In front, also, of the Scientific Am,eri-
can is the City Hall Park and Print
ing House Square, with its statue of
BENJAMIN Franklin, and the homes of
eminent editors and newspapers.
