HI. A. Hartshorn has sold his farm
north of town and also his butcher
shop and stock of groceries, together
with his store building on Bridge
street, to Parker & Fox, who took
S possession Friday. Mr.. Hartshorn

men for the past eight years, and by
honorable and upright dealings made
many friends who regret to lose him
as citizen of our town. We hope

of business and remain here. Parker

will without doubt do well in their
new venture.
