over, and there will not be such fine field
for choice on the day before Christmas,
when the laggards 60 the rounds. Atten-
ton is invited tothe holiday advertisements
appearing in another part of this paper, as
well as to the hints which are subjoined:

It is boys delight to have pen-knife,

The name of CRANE long ago became, In
this community, suggestive of, If not sy.

CRANE maintains the high reputation OF the
house, and has on hand now fine assort.

which all persons desirous of giving stylish
entertainments during the holidays should
pay their respects. The morning egg-noe
without CRANES rum would be. utterly

would be hollow mockery.

trade in bargains for Christmas. Among
the presenta6le articles they offer are boys

sold at reasonable prices.

at greatly reduced prices. 1t would be
well for housekeepers to send BRIGGS their
orders early this week. He offers remarka.

articles. -h-a.r..f
