Financial Embarrassment.

Charles c. Bingham has filed volun.
tary petition in bankruptcy. Mr.. Bing.
ham has conducted the business OF dealer
in drugs and fancy articles at the we'll
known store on Main street in this vii
lage for nearly thirty years, having sue
ceeded his father in the same business.
In fact "Bingham's Drug Store" was one
of the well-known landmarks and IA
miiar to all old residents. There will be
general regret at this failure, not merely
from creditors. but from the community
who have known Mr.. Bingham's indus
try and feir dealing as merchant. We
learn that some eight or ten years ago
Mr.. Bingham incurred heavy losses upon
investments, and the effort to retrieve
them has not been successful. Mean
while interest charges have become be-
yond his power to meet. The debts
amount to about $25, 900, and the unin'
numbered assets consist mainly of the
stock in trade and store furniture. AL
four of the banks in this village are cred
itors. The banks have some collateral
as well as some sureties. The future o
the business of course is unknown. lt'
disposal will be in the hands OF the cred
itors, under the new United States bank
| ruptcy law.
