For THE HoLIDAYs--Among our advertisements,
will be found several announcing that the young
folks have not been forgotten. Mr.. Flitner calls at
tention to his stock of jewelry, and it is really the
finest that has ever been brought here. The only
trouble is that ones head, if not his pocket, becomes
bewitched in looking at the rich display. At MIR.
Ehler's in Fort Street, can be found every thing that
any boy or girl has not got and yet wants while Mr..
Horn takes pride in making what tickles, not the
vanity, but the palates, of his customers. Those in
want of the more useful and substantial food for the
mind cen find presents at the bookstore, where are
displayed an assortment suited to all ages and purses.
