J.W. Whitten Is Some Trader

Mr. J.W. Whitten of Smith was at the Reporter office this week and recounted some of his wonderfully successful trades recently consummated, in which he profited exceedingly. For instance he was in Winston recently when he purchased a dog for $4, traded the dog for a mule, swapped off the mule for a jackass, and sold the jackass for $10. All within a few days time. Later he swapped a watch for another mule, traded the mule for a yearling, and then traded the yearling for a hack worth $140.

It is learned that Mr. Whitten is receiving numerous offers from trading concerns who desire his services at a handsome salary.
