                  MANY BUSINESS CHANGES

                  The past week has been another one of "selling out" and 

                  "buying in." We don’t know that we can name all the changes 

                  that have taken place, but here are a few:

                  Roy CHAMBERS has retired from the Central Barber Shop, and 

                  A.J. DOUGLASS is now proprietor.

                  The restaurant in the same building also changed hands and is 

                  now being operated by a Mr. DeJARRETT, coming here from 

                  Cheauteau.

                  Oscar WOODSON has taken Mike WORMINGTON’s place at May’s 

                  barber shop. The Bee Hive lunch room is changing hands today, 

                  Mr. MOORE selling out to the clothes cleaning people.
