As to his future move ment, further thau his desire to clime out hi prenent business, he is non-committal. We regret this movement of Mr. Douty. Forseeral years past he has betiM our most energetic buniaess man. He was a bustler after business aud was probably the heaviest shipiwr iu the county. We sincerely hope Mr. Douty' re tirement from the merchautlle line will mean that he Is to engage on a large scale in the lumbering industry In this locality. Card Of Thanks.
