JUSTICE

Since the closing of the doors Of some OF
our business houses, good deal has been
said about the ROYAL Oil company being
among the houses that have failed. This Is
an error, and in justice TO Mr.. c. b. Nor
throp. the proprietor. the truth should be
known, as otherwise the rumor must work
injury 10 his financial standing in business
circles, and cause him TO bear burden that
he has no right TO assume. Mr.. Northrop
has not had lis doors closed by anyone, and
Is not. he assures us, in the least embarrassed.
He Is going out of business, il Is true. This
is every persons privilege. He has liberal
offer from responsible parties TO engage in
business elsewhere, and rs he considers it to
his advantage TO make the change, he has
offered bis stock and business here for sale
Not finding a ready customer. he has pro-
cceded 10 retail and close cut his stock, at
which he i now engaged. Justice t. those

tent and purport of which was that few of
Mr.. S,ecnrod', friend. had embraced that
opportunity to present him with u token Of

not FORGETTING the esteem and confidence
of those who knew HIM best. The remem-
brances we:c splendid meerscbaum pipe
and cigarholder encased in plush and a boun-
tiful supply Of the best Turkish kilikeniek,
Stecnrod, like all men who are !akea un-
awares on such occasions, was surprised and
gratiiied, TO which feelings he gave express
sions. Mr.. Steenrod, who probably to-day
knows more about the affairs OF this county,
financially speaking, than any man in it, has
made = faithful and conscientious officer.
While We have not at all times endorsed his
every political move and notion, he has
been faithful to the Interests # thu ta1. pay
