Big Bargain Day at Monticello Proves Success.

Hontieello Journal. Before 10 o’clock this morning the merchants of Monticello began to realize that Bargain Day was a distinct success. People began to- pour into the stores, especially the groceries, almost as soon as they were opened and begun to buy. In many cases the special bargains were all out by 10 o’clock and the dealers had stocked liberally in the items. Many of them had misgivings as to whether they could move the stock today. Now they wish they had bought three times as heavily. It kept them busy explaining -to the disappointed customers that the demand had far exceeded the supply. Never has there been as much attention paid by all of the business men at one time in making special display of merchandise on sale. They have succeeded admirably and we believe the people appreciate the effort made; There is one thing sure, the merchants will not be caught napping the next time and there’ll be. an effort made to have plenty for all.
