Greenburg (Pa.) Tribune: DR.. j. ID.
| Milligan, who left for OwOsso, Michigan,
last Saturday will be greatly missed by
many in this city as well as other sections
| of the county. The doctor had during his
| stay here made many friends and built up a
large and lucrative practice, being eminent
| ly successful in all cases he undertook. AS
| a physician he had but few equals. In So
ciety he was whole host and his presence
was hailed with pleasure by all who had
| formed his acquaintance and his departure
| from our city has caused many regrets. As
| q physician and jovial, whole souled fellow,
his place will be hard to fill. The consola-
ton we derive from 1t is that Greensburg's
, loss will be Owosso's gain.
1t is generally supposed that faithfulness,
diligence and hard work for an employers
interest bring reward and promotion. This
however, does not seem to be the rule with
the M. G. railroad. For the past three
years K. V. Smith has been the Owosso
agent of this road, and has built up the bus
mess steadily, the increase in freight alone
being SIT, 900 i'm two years. This increase
has been brought about largely by Mr..
Smiths interchangeable labors. Yet on Mon
day he was summarily relieved for slight
violation of one Of the railroad rules requir.
ing all loaded ears held over 4S hours tC
be reported to the car service Office. The
citizens of Owosso regret this action and we
believe the managers OF the road will have
occasion to.
