good time to keep your chicken
coops closed up.

Open Again Monday

On account of the heavy arrival
of new goods the new depart
ment store of the F. j. Meehan
company will be closed up fer
the balance of the week in order
to mark goods and arrange the
stock in proper shape. Since
the opening day the store has
done a big business, but it was
thought best to close up for a
few days to get things in better
shape. The store will be opened
up Monday with Amos Hanson
in charge as manager. After
the first of the month Mr.. Han
son will have charge of the Peo-
pies Furniture store.
