E. D. ANSLEY,
THE FANCY GROCER.
A CHRISTMAS PARADE.
A Meeting To-night to Organise Fan
tastic..
It is a custom here, so old that
the oldest Inhabitant cannot re
member the time of its origin, for a
number of the youug men to get
together a few days before Christ
mas and organize for a calvary pa
rade. And on the day itself make
a tour of the city, dressed In mar
velous costumes, under the name
of fantastics.
This parade has always been a
feature of Christmas day, aud to
night there will be a meeting of the
young men in the Council Chamber
at 7:30 o’clock.
All who desire to enter the pa
rade, or who have any suggestions
to offer are wanted, and all are in
vlted to be there and help the
movement along.
It’s lots of fun for those who go
Into It, and for the whole people.
Everybody likes to see the gaud
ily costumed cavaliers, and the
young men should by all means
keep up the custom.
Here Is an offloial call for the
meeting:
YOUNG MEN’S MEETING.
I am requested to announce that
the young men of the city will
meet at the Council Chamber this
evening at seven and a half o’clock
looking to Christmas festivities.
J. II. Feller, Mayor.

comfortable smoking jackets
and dressing gowns, at T.

"Christmas Is coming."
The very atmosphere as it affec
tionately brushes against your
cheek seems to whisper this soft
and low, and yet distinctly enough
to cause your heart to beat merrier
and your eyea to aparkla in antici
pation of tbe gladlleat season of tbe
year. It seems that the splendor
of old Sol has increased ten fold,
aud that the dazzling raya, fleeted
and reflected from shining surfaces,
add to the joyous whisper of the
light aud tell-tale zephyr.
“Christmas is coming."
So trill in notes so clear and pure,
the birds of (be air, answered by
tbe beasts of tbe Held, varying in
tone from the high tenor of the
neighing Bucephalus to tbe deep
bass of the roaring Taurus. And
la our own sweet, sunny clime, the
rosebuds seem to say while linger
ing In this laud of Paradise, "Fare
well, Cbr'stmas is coming.”
All nature speaks, aud tbe heart
grows lighter as each fresb evi
dence is poured through some God-
given medium of the approach of
the anniversary of Hint whose
blood was shed for love of sinners.
To-morrow is Christmas eve, tbe
next day Christmas.
Where is the child who has not
this on the end of the tongue? And
whose thoughts are not all concen
trated upon this happy time 7
And it might be said of tbe older,
but while true of them, to tbe
child it means much more. To
them it Is the one time looked for
ward to. When one is passed tbe
next is looked for, and title from
year to year UDtii too old to appre
ciate tbe day or time to inch an
extent.
To-morrow, ;joy will be broad
cast over Americus children. One
thousand pupils of our public
schools will be released from bon
dage cruel, and told to do their
own sweet will until Friday week.
To-morrow at twelve, one thousand
beating hearts will be carried out
of the rooms of toll into the fresh
air, and told that Christmas is
here again. To-morrow one thous
and pairs of pattering feet will And
tbe way home to await the mor
row. To-morrow one thousand
beaming, laughing faces will greet
the mother, and tell ber "To-mor
row Is Christmas.”
And then to-morrow night!
Then one thousand little forms In
snowy white will burry through
devotion and be snugly tucked be
tween spotless linen, vowing not to
let this opportunity pass to catch
their snow covered friend as be
Alls tbeir stockings. And then
sleep, sweet peaceful sleep, will
■teal softly over them not to de
part until driven away by the light
of day—and then, then is happi
ness so supreme lu Its glory as
never equalled on earth.
One thousand children!
But will tbe above be true of all
tbe thousand? Will there not be
many to whom tbe day Is even
more sorrowful on account of tbe
contrast with tbe Joy of others?
Possibly half of the number will be
without remembrances; possibly
not so mauy. But Home there are
whose little hearts beat enviously
terday certainly can’t be excelled.
A anowy bed at the bottom,
myriads of diamonds glistening
upou it, and Jswelry of all sorts
displayed on all sides.
Last night tbe aunual small boy
bombardment began, and poppers
were heard on all aides. To-night
there will be an Increase, and to
morrow night be will be In his
glory. The poor canine will groan
in despair at the thought that
“thereby hangs a tall.”
Said a popular youug gentleman
yesterday: "I’m so sorry It Isn’t
stylish to send Christmas presents
now, for I did want to tend some
so bad, and I cau’t go against
style."
(Copies of this remark marked
and sent to any address for five
cents each. Come early aud avoid
the rush.)
