CHANGED HANDS

The Pioneer Meat Market has again
changed hands, returning to those
who disposed of 1t few months ago.
Tuesday the GOering brothers, Geo.
II. and John, sold the market to Fred
Hart. The Goerings came here from
Butte, Montana, last spring and in
vesteu 70 the shop. They are exper-
fenced men IN tiIc-1~%.A.. h,Sr
kept scrupulously clean place and
gave the public first-class service. The
field did not prove to be as large as
they expected to find it, and hence
the business did not come up to what
they anticipated, hence they were not
altogether satisfied at any time. Re-
Gently an opportunity was presented
to them to get into the meat business
at Bozeman, Montana, which is the
strongest reason for their selling out.
The change is merely the resumption
of the old proprietorship, for though
the sale was made to Mr.. Hart, Sam
uel Blackler is associated with Mr..
Hart, and the familiar faces of those
two gentlemen are again behind the
block. 1t is regretted that the town
is to lose two such good citizens as
the Goering brothers, and they will
take with them the best wishes of a
large number of friends they have
made during their brief residence in
OrOville.
The new firm will be known as
Fred G. Hart & Co. and in this con-
nection it may be timely to state that
a sthe firm is compelled to pay cash
on delivery for the animals slaught-
cred it is necessary to do a strictly
cash business, and that policy will be
rigidly adhered to.

MOVIES AT MOLSON

Last Friday Geo. Stoltz took his
moving picture machine to Nelson and
supplied the entertainment at the
grand opening of the Nelson opera
house that evening. That the people
appreciated the addition of a show
house to the thriving little place was
manifested in the number of people
who were in attendance. Two hund-
red and sixty-six tickets were sold
at the door, and no account was taken
of dead heads, and quite a number
were in that class. The show was
followed with a dance. MIR. Stoltz
says that the building is very neat
one and credit to the town.

means of anchoring the dust on the

graveling or a system of watering, it
would reduce nuisance that has been
almost unbearable this summer.
