The traffic that is likely to be on the road when the Shannon bridge is completed, may induce the local body interested to spend a few shillings for the protection of limb, and perhaps life. Next Thursday Messrs Mounsey & Co. will hold a monster clearing sale on the premises of Mr.E. Osborne, who is removing to his new shop, and therefore intends to sell his present stock without reserve.
