J. A. Schroy has sold his photograph gallery to F. J. Fraser, of Walkerton, Ontario, Canada, and will remove to Greenfield, where he is fitting up a studio. Mr. Fraser is a brother-in-law to our townsman Mart Burgess. His old home paper, the Be? Herald, of Walkerton, says of him: "Mrs. F. J. Fraser, who has been a resident of this town for eight years, left last Tuesday for Lebanon, Ind. Mr. Fraser is an artist second to none in this country, as some of the large portrait work that adorns the walls of our best citizens can testify." [mentions his lodges]
