The business of Harrison Hight, one of the leading grocerymen of Spencer, has been closed by his creditors. About two years since Mr. Hight was defeated in his second race for town treasurer and, on making a settlement, his accounts fell short. This and other debts amounting to $2,800. The creditors, however, believing that bad management had caused the failure rather than a desire to be dishonest, allowed him to conduct the business as usual until the present.
