They “Suffered and Were Strong”— Very Strong.

Worth Judson, News. A oertain young man took his girl buggy riding Sunday, and while meandering through the country had the evil luck to run over a skunk. As no antiseptics were to be had both Suffered and endeavored to be strong in silence. The work of invoicing F. B. Meyer’s stock of groceries, sold to Frank L. and Judson J. Hunt, began this morning. The work is being done with open doors, and customers who buy goods not yet invoiced, buy of Mr. Meyer and those who buy invoiced goods buy of Hunt Brothers. The work of invoicing is under the direction of Mr. Nichols, traveler for Robert Stevenson & Co. of Chicago, who is a friend of both parties. It will take about three days to complete the invoicing. The style of the new firm will probably be Hunt Brothers. Judson J., the junior member, will not give up his business as a member of the law and real-estate firm of Hanley &Hunt
