Freeport.
Posters In several prominent places about
the village announce that the firm Of Gore Il
Davis will close their store from August 9TH
one week, 20 take account of stock from
reason of a change in business. 1t has al
ready been stated that Mr.. e. B. Mallett,
Jr., was the purchaser of this property as
well as the store of Mr.. Edwin s. Soule.
These two places occupy the business centre
of the village and for years the surrounding
community has come hither for their pur-
cbases. 1t is safe to predict the business
part of the town will not be transferred else
where for years to come Under the guild
ing hand of the munifcent purchaser there
is no doubt that the public interests will be
we'll cared for and that there will with in
creased facilities be increased prosperity to
the town. Freeport village is certainly in
creasing In business prosperity and the
present indication is that its growth will in
crease for a long time to come. Its beautiful
situation, its schools, its churches and Its
healthfulness make 1t very desirable local
ity for business men. 1t is a fact that
typhoid fever so common upon river watered
here. The oldest resident physician has not
seen a case of this disease in this vicinity
which was not contracted elsewhere and i'm
ported. during the last IL years, a factor of
no small significance to business men.
