We
have been informed that Mr. John R. Kestell, son of our respected
townsman Mr. R. M. Kestell, superintendent of N. C. Ford & Co.'s
grocery department, has purched the Drug Store of Mr. Edward
Matthews, in the village of Waterford.
"Jack" has for the
past five years stood behind Dr. Wilson's counter and by his strict
attention to business and obliging manner won the esteem of all
those who have come in contact with him.
He has ever been among the
foremost of those of our young men in the support of any institution
having for its object the improvement of mind and morals.
We are sure we speak for all
our young friend's acquaintances when we wish him every success in
this, his first venture into the world of business and that it may
be but the first step on the ladder to fortune.
