Resolutions, Installation ol umcers and Farewell Service. C. A. Miller, of Rickreall, and N. F. nreaa. of Ballston. have been chosen to serve on the Federal grand jury at the May term which will open in ron land, Monday. The American Druggist Syndicate, Incorporated for $50,000 with R. E. Williams, as president, Tys Wigman, of Forest Grove, vice-president, and G. N. Cherrington, secretary and treasurer, filed its articles of incorpor ation with the Secretary or State in Salem today. The new company will be established in Portland, where it will conduct a strictly wholesale drug business. Messrs. Williams, Wigman and uner rlngton went to Portland yesterday morning for the purpose of selecting and securing a location and arrang ing other preliminaries. Mr. Cberrington'sdrug store in this city was purchased Wednesday by W. V. Fuller, who tooK possession yesterday. The work of invoiolng the stock will probably be begun Sunday. Bidding for the purchase or tne estaD- lishment was close between a number of business men. both of Dallas and from other cities and It Is conceded that In his transaction Mr. Fuller has secured one of the most desirable businesses of its kind to be found In the state. Mr. Cherrington entered the drug business in Dallas about eight years ago. in partnership with (Jharies JJ. Belt. After Mr. Belt's death in 1906, he conducted the business alone and about two years ago, purchased full control. The old firm name, Belt & Cherrington was retained however, until Wednesday's sale, when the establishment passed finally out of Mr. Cherrington s bands. The development of this business m Dallas during the past eight years has been little short of marvellous and vastly to the credit of its pro prietor as a man or executive ana business ability. Beginning in a small building with only a limited and modest equipment, be developed the business rapidly ana surely. When the new brick building was erected by Abel Uglow, the drug store of Belt & Cherrington was moved into relatively the same position which bad been occupied by its little wooden building prior to the founding or tne new briek structure, and the firm con tinued its business In new quarters and with better equipment. At the time of the transfer from Mr. uner- rington's possession to Mr. Fuller, the Belt & Cherrington Drugstore was regarded throughout the state as one of the finest and most up-to-date establishments to be found outside of Portland. His successor in the business Is too well-known in Dallas to need Intro duction. A man of proven business ability, there Is little doubt but that the business will continue to prosper under his management. Mr. uner- rlngton will shortly move to rortiana to make his borne. While his many friends will sincerely regret the neces sity which deprives Dallas or a man who has always proven himself a progressive and potent force In the city's growth and development, all will unite in wishing him the Desi oi success in his newly chosen sphere of activity.
