state that on account of lack of time

perience the same difficulty. In view
of the obvious necessity of keeping
these matters entirely correct, and ,
ns a matter of protection to the 1
county, and justice to the officers
involved, we recommend that m; an

The giving of gifts at Chri tiraa time is a beautiful sent ment
that should be kept a sentiment rather than commercializing it in
to an exchange of gifts on the do llar-for-dollar basis.

you choose from our stock, the matter of what you wish to spend

Christmas is a time of peac !, cheerfulness and good will
The touch of your hand and mine,
Which means far more to the fainting heart
Than shelter and bread and wine.
Fqe shelter is gone when night is o’er,
And bread lasts only a day.
But the toueh of the hand, and che sound of the voiq)b
Sing on in the soul nlway“.
Tlyjse who are not at pe ice wi ih the world; those who fail to
find cheer; those who lack the spirit of good will—are usually
