The people of Sykesville and vicinity were
little alarmed last week when it was currently
reported that trust company would be formed
in Sykesville, but it only proved to be a COM
mercial combine. The firms of Mellor 4
Schorb, Griffith & Turner and Bennett &
Barnes, of this place, have combined, and
will be known hereafter as the Sykesville
Farm and House Furnishing Company. They
will occupy the old stand of the retiring firms,
and will carry a much larger stock of goods.
The members of the new firm are all young
men, and are noted for their industry and
enterprise, and it is more than probable they
will make it warm for all competitors.
Warfeld's planning, sash and door factory
is nearly completed. The machinery will all
be in position and ready for operation by the
10th of this month. The engine will be tested
this week, if our village doctor don't lay an
injunction on the smokestack. Mr.. Warfeld
has removed his Office from the rear to the front
of his store, and has two rooms elegantly fitted
up. He has a full corps of clerks, having
recently engaged Mr.. Richard McCrone. In
one of the offices is typewriting machine,
where every night can be seen Hyatt and
Chipley working at it like two woodpeckers
on an old tree.
John Mcdonald & Co. will keep pace
with the times, and will open with larger
stock this spring than ever before. They will
also deal extensively in lumber and coal.
Postmaster Mellor will enlarge his store
this spring, as he finds it much too small for
his increasing trade.
The new firm of Delashmet & Waters will
surprise the public when they open their
spring stock. Sammy is immensely popular
with the people, and he promises to please all
who call on him.
l.. H. Schultz & Son will cross the Patapsco
in May, and will occupy their fine warehouse
near the depot. The upper part of the build
ing will be used exclusively for the display of
furniture and household goods.
The ground has been broken for the new
NJ. E. parsonage on their lot near Springfield
The building will be completed
about May 18th, and will cost about s., 900.
Where they will locate next the Lord only
knows.
Justice Hyatt has resigned, and j. Oliver
Wadlow is also expected to do so, on account
of his health There are several asprants
for both places. Weer would like to be mag.
strate at Sykesyille, and if he don't succeed
he will lay in lot of brand new collins in the
spring.
Mr. Stewart Kearney has the finest lot of
chickens now in the county, and his roost is
we'll worth seeing.
Norwood still attends to good deal of
outside business, and it is hard to find man
hat is engaged in so many enterprises.
st. Pauis NJ. E. Church has taken good
many new members in the fold since that last
revival The children are now practcng for
he Easter exercises.
When the springtime comes and the ''robins
nest again. Sykesville will be in full business
bloom, and if they will only do a little more
Advertising, and not leave so much to your
II
extraordinary success.
The public schools, we regret to hear will
close early in April this year. Next year we
suppose they will close altogether.
