WILL NOT LEAVE HENDERSON
Some Causes Which Contributed to
nr.Lehman' Change of Mind

Some months ago MIR. n. Lehman
.ignited his intention to leave Hen
derson, He set about making his
arrangements accordingly but as he
expresses it he couldn't get his
durks in row" His intention was
to 90 to Suffolk. The first THING was
to secure suitable store house. The
one ne wanted was not for rent. He
proposed to buy and offered $4,000.
The price asked was $4,000. When
deal might have been consummated
il vas found that a condition OF the
,a.e was that Mr.. Lehman should
purchase the stock of goods on hand
the price named being $13, 900. That
etfectually disposed of the matter as
TAR as this particular building was
concerned, the only other store house
TO be had being one located on back
street or alley.
We have seen letters bearing out
the above facts from Mr. j. Walter
Hosler, reputable gentleman and
real estate dealer, Of Suffolk, besides
having Mr.. Lehman's statement after
several visits there in person. While
ne was trying to secure a suitable
business house in Suffolk negotiations
were going on to dispose of his prop
erty here. An offer was made by
parties In another town to lease his
store building for a term Of five years,
while enquiries came from other
sources about buying the property
Not being able to make the move
contemplated for causes above stated
MIR. Lehman says he has made up his
mind to let we'll enough alone, STAY
where he is, continue to do business
at the same old statd and spend the
balance of his life in Henderson, among
his friends of the past 25 years-the
best people in the world.
