It is with regrets that we chronicle
the continued confinement at his home
of George H. Pishon, one of our most
prominent and active business men of
whom it may be briefly said we have
none of broader acquaintance
throughout Somerset, or that stands
higher with those who have dealings
with him. Some weeks since, on re-
turning from a drive his feet were
cold and numb and in trying to start
circulation quickly one, was scalded
badly. This member has caused him
much trouble since, but it is hoped
the worst is passed. Being one of
the most active of our business men
his presence is much missed on our
streets.
