aad fscshes, assortment Of toys, holiday
Gifts, albums, music boxes, dolls, and
general holiday goods, just received di-
rect from the East, aud now uppaeking,

Go to Burrall's, and inspect the new

selections before the great rush sets in
pext week. lie advertises to sell moro
goods for the money than anybody else,
therefore q great saving is made BY

quality has been found about IL miles
northeast of the lower sink Of the Car
