J. A. McFarland Sells to S. M. Haas and C. G. Newby. J. A. McFarland, who for nearly a quarter of a century has conducted a grocery store in Rensselaer, for the greater part of this time oh the corner of Cullen and Washington streets, sold same Friday to C. G. Newby and S. M. Haas, who will assume possession on July 1. Mr. McFarlantj’s condition of health has been such for the past few years that he decided some time ago to retire from business with this season. With his wife he expects to spend the winter with their daughter, Mrs. Charles Mann, and family •at Biloxi, Miss. Mr. Mann, who is a railway mail clerk and has been running out of Cincinnati for several years, has been transferred to a southern route. Mr. Haas, who with Mr. Newby will take over the McFarland store July 1, has been conducting a grocery on north McKinley avenue for the past year or more. He expects to reduce his stock and move the balance down town and consolidate it with the McFarland stock. Mr. Newby has been clerking in the Hiliiard & Hamill clothing store for the past couple of years. He will be succeeded there by T. M. McCollum of Chicago. Mrs Newby is a brother-in-law of Mr. Haas.
