JOHN O’CONNOR TO LEAVE US

Purchases Fanners’ Elevator Business at Kniman. Former Sheriff John O'Connor has purchased the ground and property at Kniman belonging to the Farmers’ Grain company and expects to take charge of same at once. He will put in a new set of scales and be ready to handle the grain business there as soon as thrashing commences. He does not expect to move there right away but will move some time the coming fall apd will possibly get back his old home in Kniman, nowowned by Robert Michal and from which Mr. O’Connor and family moved when he acquired the property he now owns here on Cullen street. It is his intention to disof the property here. In addition to the grain business at Kniman Mr. O’Connor secures the Farmers’ Grain company lease on the ground they occupy at Virgie but the grain business there will be run for him by some one else. We are sorry c t° learn of Mr. O’Connor’s intention to leave Rensselaer, but we wish him abundant success in his new enterprise.
