Two important business changes in
our city were effected last Friday. j. D..
FAIR & Son, of Sharon, bought j. G..
Davis stock of clothing, dry goods and
groceries, and Geo. Hubbard bought the
p. o. bookstore from G.. w. Shaw.
Messrs. Davis and Shaw retire from
the mercantile business and expect to
devote their attention to the cattle bus
mess. Besides books and stationery
Mr.. Shaw has small stock of miscel-
laneous goods on hand which he ex-
poets to close out within few days. If
he does not succeed he will probably
box them up and store them for the
present. Fair & Son are now invoicing
and will probably open up a big store
here, although they have not fully de-
cided yet, and may move the stock
from this place.
