Details:
An old and esteemed townsman, Mr. William Corner, who has for the last twenty-eight years carried on the business of a merchant in this town, is about to retire from business, having, we are happy to know, realised a large competency, notwithstanding bad times, loss of crops, and other difficulties and embarrassments from which our residents have all suffered for some years past. Mr. Corner has disposed of his business here to a Mr. Poilen, of Sydney, who takes possession on the 1st of March. We are sorry, however, to learn that we are likely to lose Mr. Corner as a resident amongst us, as he has almost decided to take up his future residence in Brisbane, where he has largo properties.
