Mr. Leo Gandert of Shiner is here and has rented a portion of the J.R. Chambers drug store and us busy now straightening up, preparatory to opening up a first class jewelry store therein. Mr. Gandert is a fine engraver, and expects to carry a full line of jewelry. He will probably be ready for the trade by the early part of next week.
O.Olsen who has been successfully running the large hotel near the passenger depot for the past three years, this morning leased it to Mr. J.N. Hargraves of San Antonio, who will at once take charge. Mr. Olsen as yet has not decided what line of business he will engage in, but will probably remain in Yoakum. The hotel is conveniently located for the traveling public, it being located only a stone throw from the passenger depot and as a result, catches a large share of the travel. We predict for Mr. Hargraves much success in his venture.
Dr. J.M. Godwin has opened up a drug store in the Levytansky building, on Front Street for his son, James. The Doctor will have his office at his son's store and also assist him with the business.
O.H. Schwab, real estate man, yesterday closed a deal between Charlie Paasch and Henry Luebben of Hochheim, whereby Mr. Luebben becomes the owner of a fifty acre farm on the prairie. The land brought fifty dollars an acre.

The Herald deeply sympathizes with Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Poth in the loss of their infant this morning, which occurred at their home in Poth, Texas. It has only been about ten days since they were called upon to give up one of their children and today the second. The two little ones were twins.
