MERCHANT BECOMES FARMER.

S. M. Laßue, who has conducted a general store at Roselawn for a number of years, has disposed of his holdings in this line to George F. Smith, taking in exchange one hundred and twenty acres of land in Wheatfield township. Mr. Laßue was formerly in the meyeantile jhwsinftga in this city with his brother, A. S. Laßue, conducting a large department store under the firm name of Leßue Brothers. In the eighteen years in which Mr. Laßue was in business at Roselawn there was seldom a day that he did not make the return trip to and from that town. —He was as faithful as the milk train. Mr. Laßue owns three good farms and will possibly devote his attention to the management of these properties.
