SHOPPING SEASON
NOW At HEIGHT
"Last Minute" Buyers Are
CroWding All Places of
Business.
CLERKS SHOW THE STRAIN
MEN AND WOMEN BEHIND THE
COUNTERS ARE RUSHED FROM
EARLY MORNING UNTIL LATE
At NIGHT.

Merchants and clerks in Richmond
stores are now experiencing the hard
ships generally accompanying the last
few days of the Christmas shopping
season, as all today and last night the
stores were crowded with late but Gag
er buyers. The streets were filled
with people up until late hour last
night and it is expected that the shop
pers will vertically swamp the tired
clerks and their employers tonight.
With but two days remaining their
seems to be an insane desire on the
part of many people to complete their
buying within the shortest period of
demonstrated in the buster stores
where people jostle, crowd and elbow,
in their mad desire to get nearer the
counters which are still laden with
hundreds of beautiful gifts.
Generally speaking, a greater num-
Der of people than usual have done
their shopping early this year, in Or
der to avoid the widely heralded and
humanity killing rush just before
Christmas.
Tired clerks are compelled to re-
main behind the counters attempting
to please the petty fanciful whims of
all hundreds Of last-minute buyers and
they will be glad when the shopping
season becomes a matter of history.
The strain this year has been unusual
ly severe, say the merchants, and an
exceptionally large business has been
done although it was predicted last
fall that the Christmas business Of
this year would not reach the amount
of business done last, even though
Christmas, 1907 came while the finan-
cial depression was at it's heighth.
Merchants are pleased and the shop
pers are feeling much the same ella
ton, as it is generally said among
them that the business men of Rich
mond have offered an unusually fine
selection of Christmas wares this year.
"The greatest thing that has i'm
pressed me, amidst all this hurry and
scurry accompanying the shopping
season." said a we'll known merchant
this morning, lis the ease with which
confidence is restored to the American
people. Several months ago money
was scarce. Buying was at mini
mum. People were afraid to spend.
This was true up until election. when
spirit of confidence seemed to en-
velope the country and this was true
in Richmond. Since the election. a
period of not quite two months. bust
ness has gradually increased and
Richmond people are buying with the
abandon which indicates that they
have no fear Of the future. 1t is all
strange, is it not?" he questioned in
conclusion.

A Discriminating Thief
Visits John Groves Barn
Makes Himself at Home and Leaving Takes the Best OF
Everything in the Building

the theft of the outfit to the police.
All neighboring towns were notified
and descriptions of the horse and bug
gy furnished the marshals. Grove
and his friend secured an automobile
and secured the country roads. 1t is
believed the horse was driven to this
city from Webster. The following de-
scription of the outfit was furnished
the police: Bay horse, six years old,
1,150 pounds, fifteen three quarters
hands high, one hind foot a little
white, thin, foretop clipped but grown
out about two inches. hitched to Co
lumbus buggy, full leather top, dark
red running gear and black body, rub
Der tires, harness rubber mounted and
fairly well worn, robe red on one side
black on the other.

WELL PLEASED
ARE DEALERS
West Side GrocerS and Meat
Men Like Sunday
Closing.
POLICE ACTION PROBABLE
EAST OF RIVER WHO REFUSE
TO CLOSE MAY BE FORCED TO
DO so.

West Richmond meat dealers and
grocers. who closed their places of bus
iness Sunday, declare they were we'll
pleased by the innovation. ut was
just like finding an extra day on the
calendar to me-" said one merchant.
1T was the first real holiday I have
had for many, many months, and l am
sure l appreciated 1t. I believe my
patrons look at the proposition in the
right manner and will have no objec-
ton to the stores being closed on Sun
day especially at this season of the
year." he continued.
The front door of all West Side
stores displays a placard bearing an
inscription similar to CLOSED on Sun
day." The efforts of the committee of
the Ministerial association to induce
the meat dealers east of the river to
close on the Sabbath, have met with
success in all but three cases, and it is
probable these will be brought into
line during this week. A state law
would require these three men to close
their shops, if the law was enforced.
1t is not improbable that unless the
trio of dealers agrees to fall into line
upon request, they may be ordered to
do so by the civil authorities. 1t is
known there has been a consultation
between the prosecuting attorney, SUI
perintendent of police and representa-
tives of the association. 1t would not
be surprising if mandatory order to
close next Sunday, the date to which
the general closing movement has
been extended, was made.
The fact the dealers west of the river
are so we'll pleased by the innovation
of closed doors on Sunday, is expected
to have influence on the opposite of
the Whitewater.
