Wholesale Grocery

NJ. G. Cockerham, of GAINESVILLE,
was in Mckenzie recently seeking
a location for wholesale grocery
company. A site easily accessible
to the railroad was selected and the
location of the enterprise is pos
sible. Mckenzie is one of the best
trading centers in West Tennessee
and commands a large territory
for a wholesale trade as we'll as re-
tail trade, and we hope the enter
prise will come to the town.

The Trend Of Spring Styles

For Spring and Summer, the daShing
looking fashions, the bewildering array
of novelties in clothing and haber
daShery reflect well the spirit of the
swift-moving days in which we are
living.
A few words as to the turn style has
taken:
COATS are longer, but with every
detail centered about emphasizing the
high waist effect. Lapels are short and
gracefully narrow. Sleeves are shapely
and just wide enough for stiff cuffs,
now much affected by smart dressers..
Fancy pockets are the rule with slant
ing, crescent or vertical styles to choose

The plan to starve out all the Central

the difficulty of continuing the economic
life of our enemies is increasing from
month to month on account of the subma-

hitherto failed. The eyes of all the Allies

Barre Times.

The announcement that the mines at
Copperfeld are to be reopened as soon
as the preliminary arrangements can be
made will no doubt be welcome news to
the people in the Fairlee-Vershire sec
ton, where the copper is located. The
old village of Copperfeld will have to be
restored entirely, as the various bulld-
ings which once made up the thriving
village were either burned or torn down
for other construction work, while much
of the machinery of operation was also
removed in the general evacuation fol
lowing the suspension of the business
many years ago. The desert of waste
flowing from the mouths of the old
mines made a melancholy reminder of
once populous and prosperous days IN
that region and furnished more or less
of an awesome spectacle for the chance
visitor. The Transformation that wall
come with the resumption of mining Will
