From an advertisement which appears in. our columns to-day it will be observed' that Mr J. Fleming has deposed of his business to his assistant, Mr Q-. Davis. We are sorry to lose Mr. Fleming. As an old identity he lias made for himself a reputation and a name which we hope will stand him in good stead in another place. He ; has sho\rri:that it if possible to earn- the esteem of his fellows even in a business capacity, and while we regret ihe ftfrcuirsturices which, liave;;nßces-, •itated Mr Fleming's seeking new fields and pastures green, we regret the more his departure. As, a tradesman he was energetic and enterprising, to such an extent thai we sincerely trust his businesa capabilities will meet with an adequate appreciation in the prosperous South to whioh he is going. We only hope that the renowal of prosperity to which 411 are looking forward will soon come, and ie sufficient to induce Mr Fleming to return to his old sphere of barber-ism.
