Post once Department where he has
achieved great success and within the
past few months has been promoted to
the SUPPLEMENTARY of the Postal Saw
ings Department
There has been much activity in
real estate here within a very short
time which is due largely to the dis
solution of the partnership which has
existed between Harry NJ. Gibbs AMI
Frank A. Dow for the past ~ years
under the name of Gibbs & Dow, do
ing a large livery business and acting
as carriers of the United States mail.
Mr. Dow has disposed of his interest
in the business to Mr.. Gibbs who will
conduct the business as heretofore
with the exception of the American
Express Agency. Mr.. Gibbs has re-
signed as agent for the express COM
pany and will be succeeded by f.. A.
Leeman of Readfield Depot. In the
adjustment of the partnership inter-
ests. Mr.. Gibbs takes the real prop
erty known as "Jollity Manse' and
Mr. Dow acquires the double tene-
ment house occupied by himself and
Mr. Gibbs, formerly the "McNear"
place. Mr.. Gibbs will occupy the rent
upstairs in his newly acquired prop
erty. Mr.. Dow has purchased the
'Jewett place" of Herman w. s. Love-
joy which includes a dwelling house
and the store now occupied by Charles
w. Crosby. Lumber is already upon
the GROUND for an addition of 20 feet
TO the store, which will be occupied
by Mr.. Dow when completed, who will
put in a choice line of up-to- date
groceries and meats. He will also put
on a delivery wagon and make daily
trips among the nearby residents, Mr..
Dow has had valuable experience in
the grocery business and will I'M
doubtedly receive a large portion of
the business which has heretofore gone
to more distant stores. Mr.. Dow will
also remove his family TO the Jewett
place so as to be near his place of
business.
Miss Blanche NJ Dow has been APP
pointed postmaster in place of Miss
Charlotte NJ. Brown, resigned, and
will assume the duties of her new
position about July l. The postoffice
will be removed from its present To-
cation to the store of her father as
soon as that is ready for occupancy.
BY the sale Of the .Jewett store
which has been occupied by Charles
W. Crosby for many years, Mr.. Crosby
will be obliged to retire from business
at this place. AS yet, Mr.. Crosby
has no definite plans for the future.
During his stay in this village. Mr..
Crosby has been actively identified
with its civic and social life and his
departure will be noted with regret,
particularly by the student body with
whom Mr. Crosby has always been
favorite.
The George Douglass place which
was purchased by T.. l.. Peacock, Esq,
two or three weeks ago has been sold
by him to Mrs. Mary f. Fuller. Rob-
ert Harris will continue 10 live in the
house as before.
