Mr. Harry Merwith who is well known aibout Foresman succeeding Cecil Lee who has operated the store since its opening in March. Mr. Merdwith is certainly a hustler and we bespeak for him splendid success in his new undertaking. He will be assisted by his wife and everything possible will be done to build up a thoroughly satisfactory establishment for the community. Mr. Medwith plans to fit up an upstairs room for community gatherings, and in fact do everything in his power to make this store answer the very need of the village aijd surrounding country. Mr. Medwith is taking over the management in the spirit of “if we please you tell others, if we don’t tell us” and asks the community to help him in serving them. Mr. Cecil Lee will probably move to Monon, where he will again engage in the produce business with his uncle, J. W. Overton.
