a BUSINESS CHANGE. 1t is with re-
greet that we chronicle the retirement
from business OF George Dyer, our
well known and gentlemanly dealer
in drugs. Mr. Dyer began in the
same store from which he now retires
as chore boy in 1876 when but Uhir-
teen years old. BY his business abil-
ity, unfaiing and uniform courtesy
and close application he has built up
a lucrative business, from which he
retires with the good wishes of
large circle of friends. Because of
impaired health, Mr.. Dyer steps out
of the store TO outdoor life upon the
farm. He owns valuable farm of
500 acres in Crawford county, five
miles from the city and will move on
to it this fall. We hope he may have
success in stock raising, grain grow
ing and health gaining.
GMr. Dyer's successor is j. A. Mel
Ter of Galena, Ill. Mr.. Meller is now
on the road but will assume charge
of the business at an early date. Mr..
Meller, we are assured is a man of
financial aud business ability and a
graduated pharmacist well qualified
TO take charge of the business.
