Trade Day

The trade event of last week
was a grand success and those
back of the effort to bring large
crowds to Tupelo the last three
days of the month was fully
compensated by the gathering
here of some of the largest
crowds since the holidays.
The bargains offered attracted
the attention of buyers who have
never visited Tupelo before and
with the addition of this crowd
to that which comes from Tupe-
los large trade territory, the
business was all that the mer.
chants could we'll take care of.
Saturday was equal to the day
before Christmas and one was
reminded of that gala day by the
eager throng that crowded the
stores Of the city.
Such advertisements Of the
business opportunities sffered
here expands our trade territory
and every such occasion adds to
the permanent list of customers
which are growing greater with
each succeeding season.

celebrated at Uclatubba. The

enough to be present.

during a speech of two hours he
entertained his hearers with
many incidents in American his

upon the crowd that he was the

American history as the repre-.

Rankin was well received.
Hon. j. A. Cunningham, Of
