stock, he informs us, has been taken

While in Whitwell Saturday the
News man was surprised at the trade
that is being done by the Cooperative
Store or Whitwell Mercantile Society.
The store was thronged with buyers
and the Manager, J. H. Harris, and
three hustling clerks, had all they
could do to wait ON the trade. The
News man had little business to
transact with the firm and it required
three visits to make the ripple as he
did not wish to disturb the current of
trade. The manager assured us that
one item was thirty-fye pairs of shoes
and we guess that is correct for that
department was keeping up its end in
the rush.
