Trade was good during Monday and
Tuesday, nearly all of the stores, es-
pecially those carrying Christmas
goods, being quite busy. 1t Is not ex-
pected that there will be much business
during today. and proprietors and
clerks generally will take a day off.
Some Of the stores may be open during
a part Of the day, but 1t will be the
exception rather than the rule.
James L. Hanahan, for the past
two years proprietor Of the York Drug
Store, has filed voluntary petition In
bankruptcy. through F. P. Mccain,
Esq, as attorney. The drug store was
closed last Saturday. pending such ac-
tion as the creditors may see proper
to take. So far as can be learned at
this time, the liabilities amount to
about $4,000 and nominal assets to
about $500. DR.. Hanahan was not
forced to take this step at this time;
but did 1t after due deliberation. He
began business almost entirely upon
borrowed capital, and recently came to
the conclusion that he would be una
BILE, under existing conditions. to solve
the business problem that seemed to
stand in the way: "Of course I could
have gone on for considerable while
longer" said DR.. Hanahan to some of
his friends few days ago, "but 1t look
ed to me like was just as apt to get
deeper into debt than out Of 1t, 80 de-
cided to just turn the thing over to my
creditors while 1t is worth more than 1t
might be later on" It Is universally
conceded that DR.. Hanahan has been
giving the town a drug store that
would be a credit to any town in the
state, and there is very considerable re-
gret at his failure.
