After Thirty=Nine Years.

Last Friday Emery Allen retired
from the drug business in this city,
and his son, John F. Allen, succeeds
him as sole proprietor of this estab-
lishment. 1t was thirtv-nine years
Feb. Let since Emery Allen entered
the drug business in this city. He
is now in his 73rd year and is an
exceedingly well preserved man for
his age.
Mr.. Allen came to Benton coun-
ty in 1850 and for the following
six years, followed by turns, school
teaching and farming. In 1866 he
formed a co-partnership with John
w. Souther and entered into the
drug business. They went into
business where the Occidental
Hotel now stands, and the part of
the building which at present co.,
stitut g the kitchen of this popular
hostelry was formerly the drug
store of Allen & Souther.
In June 1859, Mr.. Souther sold
his interest in the business to E
Woodward and the store was moved
to quarters in the Fisher brick.
A few years ago the firm secured
their present business location. Mr.
Woodward retired in 1899, after 80
years partnership, to accept tn }
judgeship of this county. A position
which he fllod with credit to him
self. A couple of years ago Mr..
/ Allen took his son, John, into
partnership with him. Emery Allen
has survived all the men who were
in business when he began his
career as druggist. Of all who
conduct business in this city when
he began, not one is in business to.

That's another difficult question TO
answer right OF. As a general thing
should say that after man gets to he

has matured by that time, and though
It Is quite true he can 60 into fight and come

work as he has done. There Is only one
safe rule for a man TO follow, and that is
TO watch himself carefully. When he sees
