Cooperation is one of the great questions that trouble our comrcunity at the present time, and although we have no wish to discourage the movement, it should command great consideration before expending bard earned savings on what will more than likely prove a failure for want of support from the shareholders. To be a paying business it must be for cash payments. Two years ago a draper of Cromwell, with the intention of trying to educate the public into the great saving made by purchasing for cash, reduced bis Stock of Drapery, Clothing, and Boots, and added that of Grocery, offering the same at fully six shillings in the £ less than the regular prices. No co-operative store could do more, and yet this is only taken advantage of by the few, showing that when put to the test the people will not co-operate when it is a question of cash payments. VV. Talboys, London, House, Cromwell, is quite prepared to serve those who would co-opera'e in obtaining the best articles at the lowest prices.—[ildatf.] The number of one-armed young men seen driving out with young ladies these summer evenings is truly appalling. An old soldier at our elbow says that one arm is invariably lost during an engagement.
