It U needlM to say your removal from Fleihert on has been deep'y regretted by your numerous friends, who have felt it to be a great lost lo the vil- lage. The responsible position of truat in which you were placed by your fellow citrons were unmistsksable evidence of the ecu-em ill which you were held and of the confidence of the public in your integrity and business ability. During your year h of commercial activity here your time was not wholly devoted to your own interest*, but sacrifice WM made for the interests of the village and that which tended to the welfare of tbe com- munity generally. Your business enter- prise and commendable public spirit was noted and appreciated by your fellow citizens, who at this time desire to ex- press to you their high appreciation of all your services in a public capacity, and also of the position you filled iu tbe o- eial life of th* place.
