essentially th* home holiday. All of

not In the ieeh. It Is a package of
holiday happiness tied up with heart

Thomasrille has always bsen noted
as s desirable place of residence.
The people who live here are distin

true depth of feeling and those oth

living. - To those of lata has been
added a growth of publlo spirit, a

Let us make this year the best the
city ot Thomasrille has every exper

more work, work all th* time-and

reason why all should not Join lu tbe
