DISSOLVED PARTNERSHIP.

:. In an other column will be found a
notice of the dissolution of the part
nerShip hitherto existing between IL.
G. Akers and Thos. Rooney. Mr..
Akers will continue the business.
This firm has enjoyed an excellent
trade and has become very popular.
We have no doubt that in the future,
as in the past, the business will con-
tinue to grow, and we wish Mr.. Akers
success. Mr.. Rooney intends to take
a trip to the Pacific coast, and we are
not informed what he intends to en-
| gage in, but he is hustler, and what
ever he undertakes he will make a
success of. We hope that he will con-
tinue to make MankatO his home.
We acknowledge the receipt of
copies of the Rockford Evening Re
publican, and Rockford Morning he
publican, containing full synopsis of
two sermons delivered by Rev. John
n. Hall, pastor Of the Centennial M.
e. church, OF that city. The morning
paper says that an unusually large
audience listened to Mr.. Hall, whose
theme was lessons Drawn from the
COughlin Verdict" and says that the
speaker moved the audience to APP
plauSe several times, which was an
unusual occurrence. The evening
paper speaks of sermon delivered on
the subject of patriotism, and says
that in Mr.. Hall the people of his
church have pastor of whom they
may well feel proud. 1t says;
His each recurring sermon seems
to be ADLER and more fOrcible than the
preceding one, and the brilliant young
divine is becoming more and more
popular with his congregation. Those
who heard his discourse Sunday even
! ing do not hesitate to pronounce him
one Of the most eloquent pulpit orators
Rockford has ever had He delivered
the same sermon he gave at the FIRST
Congregational church last Thanks
giving day and his auditors were fairly
charmed with his flowery flights of
eloQuence.
The suit of Geo, w. Allyn VS.. A.
W. WeXon was tried before Judge
Porter yesterday. Pau & Young ap-
peared for the plaintiff and E. p Free
man for the defendant. This is an
outgrowth of J. M. Baum's escapade.
Baum gave Allyn chattel mortgage
on his heating and cooking stoves and
cross cut saw, and sold the property
to WaXon. The latter claims that the
sale was made before the mortgage
was given, while the plaintiff denies
this. A question as to the mortgage
itself and as to the value of the pro-
perty also enters into the case.
Mrs. p. B. Sparrow left Wednesday
for Cincinnati, Ohio, to attend the
bedside of her mother, Mrs. S. W.
Gallop, who was formerly resident
of this city, but moved away twenty
years ago. Mr.. Sparrow received a
telegram Saturday announcing the
lady's death. She was eighty years of
age, and had numerous friends in this
city, who owill regret to hear of her
death.
! Alderman Nick Peterson has re-
turned from trip to the Twin Cities,
where he went in the interest of the
Mankato mineral spring water. He
arranged with Frank Ady to a gcast
agent for the bottling company in
Minneapolis, and arranged with sew
eral firms in ST. Paul to handle the
water. He expects that sufficient
trade will be worked up during the
summer to ship to these two cities
one or two car loads of water month.
