some time but now that it has conte'
to life again it is hoped it will eon-
-thaw to-Ileurish. The feveredef
forts, made by a number Of towns
to "boost?' tlteln3,elveS have proved
disappointing but a well-erglanized

A"BUSINESS CHANGE.
'Mr. M. ;T.:, Corless has sold out
his hardware business . tie Messrs, T.
W. Hawkins and Hugh Miller the
latter lately of Brooklyn. N. Y., who
will take over as soon as stocktaking
om
is completed, p
The new fires will combine =a:gen-
eral hardware and plumbing busi-
ness. Mr. Hawkins,' who has been
in the plumbing business here for
years, needs no ,introduction to : the
People of Clinton and vicinity. Mr:
Muller, who is Mr. Hawkins' father -
in law, thinks Clinton will be a pleas-
ant place of residence, which accounts
for his decision to go into business
here. We heartily: wish the new
firm success.
Mr. Corless, who, has become non
ular with the pubIie ;during his short
business career in Clinton, has not
yet decided what he will' do but it
is hoped this ,business change : will
not mean the reoval of himself and
family ±10113'towum.
