All Classes Of Business are Being
Literally Patronized Today.
The Rush Extends to Everything Bad
Weather Only Delayed the
Rush.
TONIGHT WILL Be A RECORD BREAKER

The business done by the local mer-
chants last night was surprising. There
was an excellent country trade, and all
the retail stores were crowded with
the visitors from the county until late
in the night. This morning there was
also a good country trade with pros
poets for its holding out the remainder
Of the day.
Yesterday was the first day to be
utilized by the country trade as the
roads have been almost impossible
and the amount Of business done broke
all records for one day. The jewellers
and all the specialists did q thriving
holiday business. Today the trade
began early, and by night the mer.
chants think that they will have all
the business they can attend to. The
bad weather did not injure the trade,
as it was thought, but only delayed IL
several days.
The steamer Bette Owen did good
business yesterday, and today il
handling all the teams and passengers
it can possibly carry. The Illinois
trade has come over today.
The whiskey men are also doing
their share Of the business and all the
jugs that can be furnished by the pot.
terry are being brought into service to
accommodate the jug trade. All the
wholesale houses are doing a good
business today, and reporsthe largest
orders today Of the week.
The express companies have al
the business they care to handle, and
have to put ON extra hands TO accom-
modate the rush.
Tomorrow there will be q great
difference. II will be as quiet as Sun
day. The postoffice will be open only
as on Sunday, and there will be one de-
livery Of mail. The banks and public
buildings will be closed, and little
business of any description will be car
ried on.
