J. M. HURST RESIGNS
WILL LEAVE PELHAM
The thousands of friends of Mr.
J. M. Hurst in and arouud .Pel¬
ham regret to learn that he has
resigned his position as General
Manager of The Hand Trading
Company, and that he will uo
longer be a resideut of this city.
This action was taken last Sat¬
urday, and his resignation went
into effect upon that date.
During nearly half a century
Mr. Hurst was identified with the
great mercantile house of which he
was the general manager. His
connection began when he was a
lad, and the Hand Trading Com¬
pany, then owned by J. L. Hand,
was little more than a sawmill
commissary.
From that small beginning the
present establishment grew, and
the lad was made the sales manag¬
er of a store that has sold aim ost
a million dollars of retail merchan¬
dise in the span of a year.
The same high principles and
qualities that madeh im successful
iu the business world have wou
for him the love and admiration
of all who knew him well, and his
departure from our city causes
universal regret.
He has not given out his plans
for the future, but for the present
he will make his home in Albany.
It is possible that he may locate
iu South Florida, where his sous
Messrs. C. J. aud C. L. Hurst
have recently made large invest¬
ments,

He has gained strength
rapidly this week aud it is
that he will continue to an
recovery.

he made his confession. After
making his statement he posed for

calmly lighted a cigarette. Young
