Swart & Hitt's Big Store It—Volume of Busings Bone.

The Employe!

With two purposes In vJjjw Tiara Nitws this week begins a, weelijiy review of the various local Industrleatha.t make of Margaretvllle the liveliest Jaud aioat en­terprising village between' Kingston and Oneonta.

Each enterprise, big or little, will be revle *ed separately and iu turn. While we have undertaken the task with a view to increasing our acquaintance with those among whom we hope to establish a per-rnanent home, our principal object Is to show ilie outside woild hp w Margaret-fares along commercial Usee.

One ot the noted concerts of this vil­lage Is that of Messrs. SwaH & Hitt, who are extensive dealers In general merchan­dise. This bufiuess was i'undea by G. tt, Decker of this village, line of our old­est and most-repeeted citir.eus. In l«7(i he sold the stock and go'pd will of the busmefis to O. A. Swart, vjho during the eleven years previous, Willi ids brother, W. It. Swart, now deceased, had con­ducted the store now occu>led by Osboru & Bussy, which was built by the Swart brothers.

Under Mr. Swarfs management the --^business proepeied and/more help was

needed, and In responselto the demand J. H. Hltt came up from Union Grove In 1877 and assumed a cUrkshlp that In seven years made him,la partner In the concern, when the ttrjn name beoamt Swart <fc Hitt. (If the jouug man's ser­vices were so valuable'that Mr. Swart found it cheaper to divldi the profits than pay. him a salary the latter has not said so.)

Most any need may1 be supplied in their store, from a tailor-made suit to a, hogshead of molasses or a thousand oi brink. They carry a full and complete line of choice dry goods and groceries, together with such otheij goods as are usu­ally found In a general iftoro. . .

They are extensive handlers of. butter, and their transact ions In Mils commodity will reach $20,000 a year, while the total volume of the year's business will uot fall far short of $100.000..

Oommorclally the partners are a strong team and In many ways they work to­gether for the good ol the community; but when it comes to politics the shut­ters go up with a bauri.'l

Mr. Swart feodB his political spiritual­ity with the principles promulgated by Thomas Jefferson and emulated byGrover Olovoland and Noah Olmstcad, while Mr. Hltt goes In for Abraham Lincoln, "Ted­dy " ltoosevelt and protection to home Industries.

And thus In modern times does history repeat Itself. The Bprat.ts live In all ages.

Each has served his party in various capacities. Mr. Swart has been Town Olorlt and vlllago president and trustee. Mr, Hltt Is at present Margaretvllle's very efficient postmaster. He is also presi­dent of the Board of Education, being tho only one left on the board of the nine original members, and treasurer of the Oatsklll Mountain Agricultural Associa­tion. He has rendorod good service as secretary of the Kepublloan County Com­mittee,

Both members of the firm have been lndofatlgable workers In the interest of the Margaretvllle fair, and its success from year to year Is largely due to their efforts.

Employed In their store as clerks are Miss Ida Chamberllii, Tilekor E. Kittle aud . JYed M. Swart, a son of tho senior member.

Next week wo will talk about tho Hal-pern Brothers aud their stores in this village and Griffin Corners,

Cry of a Child Leads to Startling Dis­covery Work for Town

Officials. The people, of N :̂w Kingston were

thrown Into a high store of excitement on Tuesday by an incident that suggests a total lack of mother love if uot of crime

Working for A. Yaple a well-known farmer ot that pln.ee, is a man named Kuglemann and his wife. They have an Infant child about G months old. The couple live In a hut on the farm that Is said to be bare of the common comforts of life. They do their cooking iu the open air.

The woman has been lu the habit of going into the field with her husband and doing a man's work, such as a driv­ing horses to plow, etc.

On Tuesday Mrs. D. H. Gray of De­posit, who is visiting nor father, W. W. DuMond, whoso home in " Jobnnycake Lane " Is not far from the but referred to, was greatly UiB'ixussod by the contin­ued crying of a little child.

After listening to tho pitiful wail until her sympathies were thoroughly aroused, she started to investigate the matter.

She went to the shunty and found It empty. Still the ciying kept up, aud going lu the direction from which the sound came she found the baby, Clothed only lu a light Blip, it lay on the bare ground under a overhanging ledge that was partially hidden behind buBbes, and on its body lay a fiat stone of about the dimensions of a washboard,

Mrs. Gray at once rescued 1.MJ child from Its perilous position and took it, to the home of tier father, where it wus washed, fed, comfortubly dressed and otherwise kindly cared for, after which the mother was nolitled to come and got her offspring.

I t was some tlmo before she respond­ed, and when she did arrive she had the effrontery to accuse Mrs. Gray of trying to kidnap the child.

Dr. Reed of this village was sum. moued, but as the child was not. seriously Injured there was nothing for him to do on anivlug at the scene

There are a number of theories as to how the child, which is said to bo a bright and wlusome llttU one, came to be iu such a strange predicament, and all beem to point to the desire on the part of some one to get rid of It, though ol course-nothing Is proven.

One thing is evident. Somebody pul the child where ft was fouud and also placed the stone on it, Some think it, may have been drugged and was uncon­scious when put there,

It Is to bo hoped that the authorities will thoroughly Investigate the matter.
