Watertown Public Opinion: Gil
ruth's department store was closed
Monday night. BY those in position
to know it is claimed that the present
closing of the establishment is only q
temporary arrangement and that as
soon as the accounts can be adjusted
and a settlement with the smaller cred
itors effected it will again be opened.
It is understood that the smaller cred
itors are responsible for the closing
this time. They had expected pay
ment of their claims, dollar for dollar,
and have been disappointed. 1t was
therefore thought best to close the
doors until the settlements can be
effected. Since the first of the year
the establishment has been operated
under the direction of Mr.. George H..
Partridge & Co., as trustee for the
creditors, and while good business
has been transacted it has not been
sufficient to satisfy the claims of all
the old creditors. The doors were
therefore closed last evening by Mr..
Partridge.

will undoubtedly continue to
grow each year. The very fine
attractions in lectures, music
and entertainment furnished by
the chautauqua could be secured
by the people in this portion of

the location of an assembly at
