The Rooster Crowed Several Times. The town's greatest topic just now is, the last scenes in the career of the Onld Mercantile Co'mpaiy, 1 kere are several hundred theories, more pr less regarding the closing of the store. Certainly its style of dding business was novel and never before heard of in this section of countrv. The last act j nst before the coh lapse was comical without tho boomerang spirit. ' A large cloth sign-was strung up at the edge of the pavement in front cf the store which read; "We are crowing over our victory.'' Abo ve this was a real genuine game rooster f is'.ened cn the top of a ehicken coop. Oyer the rooBter was fastened an umbrella. Occasionally the roofer would crow. : Just what the "victory" was none are able to tell. Concord has always had a very clever liet of business men and let us hope that ssch will always continue.
