Langdon's city bakery changed hands
Tuesday, the first of the month, Joseph
Little, who has successfully conducted
the same for upwards of five years,
selling out to Mr.. Harry j. Hucks, re-
Gently engaged in business in Toronto.
The new proprietor is Il cousin of Attor-
ney e. II. Gordon, of this city, and is
being given a cordial patronage from
the start by the people of Langdon, who
in return are assured that, in taking
hold of the business, it is Mr.. Huck's
purpose to give one and all a first class
article in the way of bread and pastry.
A bakery in Langdon has of late years
been anything but a questionable ven
ture and with the improvements the
new proprietor proposes making it is
bound to have increased success in the
future.

Banker and Mrs. w. j. Mooney re-
move from Langdon to make their home
in Minneapolis during the winter months
with the probability of deciding to
make that city their permanent place
of residence. Langdon people cannot
help but miss Mr.. Mooney and his charm
ing wife from their midst, both socially
and otherwise, and though regret is
felt at the loss society here will expert
ence in many ways it is hoped and be-
lieved that the acquisition to social
circles in the Twin Cities will be tho
roughly appreciated. The extensive
business interests accumulated here by
Mr.. Mooney in residence of over nine
teen years will continue to receive con.
siderable of his personal attention,
requiring visits to the city at frequent
intervals.
