Harness Shop Sold.

F.C. Stitser has sold his harness business to Herman Schmid and Al Snyder, of Iowa . Mr. Snyder has been working in the shop for some time and Mr. Schmid was formerly employed there. They are both experienced harness makers and good business men. The deal was consummated Dec. 5, but Mr. Stitser does not give possession until Jan. 1st. He expects to move to Kansas City , where he will engage in some business. He has been in business in Worthington for 13 year, and has built up a large and profitable trade, and has acquired a large circle of friends who will regret his departure.

Mr. Potter's Troubles.

F.M. Potter and Co., have been making arrangements to run a meat market in the Wilson building, next to Harry Lewis' grocery. They expected to have been ready for business last week, but the health department called attention to some legal regulations and they were delayed a few days while posting up on the law and complying with the requirements. They will open for business next Monday, Dec. 10, with a full line.

Mr. Potter believes that the Federal constitution guarantees to every man life, liberty an pursuit of happiness, and he will go ahead with his venture on the same basis as the three other shops. He says his establishment will be open for inspection at any time.

Matt Jensen having a sick cow wished to call Dr. Gould, our Worthington veterinary.

The time has been, and not away back in the dark ages either, when hardly anyone would have dreamed of telephones, of telegraphs, of ocean cable, of wireless telegraphy, and of numerous of other invention which are commonplace today. And we can well believe that we are but on the outer edge of a field of discovery and invention boundless as the universe. Who can guess what the future has in store for us!
