Israisky, proprietor of one ofthe popular business houses ofWinofield, proposes to seek otherfields and will sell his variedstock of go4ods regardless of cost.The Sentinel will regret the de-parture of the proprietor as hehas been a firm believer in the useof printer's ink, and which he hasliberally used.
