his connection wit. the drug firm of
Zollickoffer & Taylor at this place
Nearly two years ago DR.. Taylor came
among us as an entire stranger, and
by his close and undivided attention
to business and his upright and gen.
tlemanly bearing toward all, he has
won place In the love and esteem of
our people that will be as lasting to
him as the rocks of Gibraltar, of,which
he may feel justly proud.
As a druggist, he has few if any
superiors. and is the only registered
druggist in Southwest Virgins, being
the only druggist who became a mem
Der of the State Pharmaceutical As

Taylor from the drug business,Abing-
don loses not only the best but one of

has our best wishes for his unbounded
success and prosperity.
