W. R. LEE TRADES WITH F. A. MORROW

Gets General Store for Creamery and Cash—Store Will Be Closed Pending Invoice. •F. A. Morrow, who has been running a grocery and general store in the I. O. O. F. block for some time, has concluded a trade with Walter R. Lee, who recently purchased the down town cream station of Dean Merica. Mr. Morrow will take charge of the creamery Saturday of this week. The stock Mr. Lee takes in trade will be invoiced, the store being closed for perhaps a week. Mr. Lee had a stock of goods at Newland, 111., when his wife’s severe illness called him home. He has shipped the stock here and will combine it with the Morrow stock and probably buy new goods and then have a mammoth sale. He is not decided to remain permanently in business here, but will probably close out the stock. If he does remain in business it will be in the drygoods arid not the grocery business.
