  Bar-

  one 
  year, 
  

   when 
  the 
  management 
  passed 
  into 
  the 
  hands 
  of 
  Messrs. 
  

   Cooper, 
  Hutchings 
  & 
  Co., 
  who 
  conducted 
  the 
  business 
  until 
  

   the 
  early 
  part 
  of 
  1884, 
  when 
  the 
  house 
  was 
  moved, 
  as 
  above 
  

   noted, 
  and 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  S. 
  Lockhart

   is 
  doing 
  a
