Thirty-Two Years of Harmony.

Official notice in these columns an
nounces the dissolution of the hard
ware firm of :. Hooking q Co, the
partnership consisting OF Messrs.
Samuel Hooking and Samuel Jen-
! kins. These men became business
associates thirty-two years ago, and
! in all that time there has been per-
feet harmony and personal admira-
| tion existing between them, and IN
/ the arrangement Of terms of dissolu-
! tion and the settlement of the multi
! tude of interests accumulated in the
! thirty-two years there was not the
! slightest accimony or dissatisfaction.
! Although in political views they are
diametrlcally opposed, one being n
confirmed democrat and the other a
staunch republican, there was never
any clash between them, even in the
| hottest campaigns. This condition
through long years of business asso-
citation and the final adjustment of
| the multiferious details incident
thereto on desolviug, could be only
because both men are thoroughly
| honest, and each worked by the
golden rule Of, doing unto the other
as he would that the other should
do unto him." Following the same
rule as firm, in dealing with GUS
toners. it secured and retained pub
lie confidence and favor.
Mr.. Jenkins continues the business
and will retain the patronage Of the
old firm. Mr.. Hooking will take II
well earned rest, aud have increased
opportunity to give his host of friends
in the community the benefit of his
genial companionship
The sad news has been receceived
| here announcing the death of Miss
Maud Gribble, youngest daughter OF
Mrs. Thos. Gribble, who some weeks
ago went to New Mexico for her be-
| loved daughters health. This is,in-
| deed a hard blow to the grief stricken
mother, brothers and sister, who
have the sympathy of the entire
commGaity. We hope to be able to
give a further notice next week.
