A HOLIDAY STROLL AMONG OUR AID
VERTISERS.

| VERTISERS.
That cunning old elf, Santa Claus, who en-
Joys such unlimited credit with the little
folks, has evidently made arrangements for
lively business between now and New Year.
He has taken into partnership all the good
fellows who advertise in the NEWS, and pro-
vided them with an ample stock in their re-
4 spective branches OF trade, that no one may
be disappointed in obtaining any article they
may fancy Our hundreds OF readers in
Emporia and vicinity will, Of course, volun-
teer to act as deputies for old Santa, and their
first inquiry VIII be, 'Where to go!" We
have been looking around, guided by THE
NEWS advertising map, and find that the first
thing to make sure offs
A FAT TURKEY,
which may be had in all its beauty, dressed or
undressed, q. Pendery Il HaIieck's, who make
poultry and farm produce their speciality.
They have n very fine array sf the feathered
bipeds, and will deliver them, dressed TO suit,
at any time ordered. To get the necessary
! BEEF, PORK, MUTTON, BUFFALO, vENIsoN,
| TONGUE, &C.,
which make a dinner substantial, you have
only TO call on ScbmidIing & Watson, whose
Mike Casson, who has kept his very choieest
animals on purpose for the holidays, and de-
liyers anything from juicy steak to NAM
moth OK; and on that skillful caterer, George
kraft, who knows what meat is, and keeps the
very best 10 be had for love or money.
NEXT TO THE BUTCHER COMES THE BAKER,
and all you have TO do TO get anything and eve
ryth-ng in the way OF plain and fancy baking,is
to see Emerson, and step in at Morris & Bott-
gers. Both keep their signs in THE NEWS, all
the year round, and Emerson keeps the cham
pion baker OF Kansas, and his delivery wagon
going around continually, while n. & b. are
making things NO extra nice that no christmas
dinner can be complete without their help.
For the good things in general we now go
FROM GROCERY TO GRocERIE,
and here are the signs, all along THE NEWS
BIRDS eye view OF Commercial street:
Mcmillan & Cochran,
Wicks & Mayse,
p. G. Hsllberg,
Dowdel & Bell.

Kelsey & Kernochsn,
G. W. Frederick.
And what these enterprislng and advertising
merchants don't have in the line Of groceries,
provisions, housekeeping articles, and all the
essentials or frst-class grocery houses, Santa
Claus don't furnish. Our readers will please
make n note Of 1t, and for
"sugAr and spice, and everything neat"
call at these groceries. Call at all Of 'em.
They keep sugar, butter, tea, coffee, cheese,
spices, pepper, fish, mustard, ham, apples, pc
tatoes, fruit, fresh and canned, pickles, pre-
serves, jellies, lemons, soap, candles, vege-
tables, pumpkins, squashes, potatoes, beets.
parsnips, celery, brooms. tubs, pals, brushes
tobacco, cigars, candies, crackers, toys, pow
der, shot, poultry, notions, and million of
things we can't mention. Their goods are
fresh, just bought, set up on purpose for the
holidays, delivered anywhere in five minutes,
cheaper than cost, and whenever they run
short Of anything they forthwith will go to

the OYSTERS necessary to finish our bill OF fare.
Having provided for these, don't forget that

THE Mn.LERs WHO MAKE OUR FLOUR
are W. T.. Soden, G.. u. Humphrey, w. II.

your fireside bright.
But eating isn't all. People must dress.

THE DRY GOODS STORES.
TIE NEWS takes one all around. Every dry
goods firm in town has its name now before
our readers. First come to Newman
q Bro.-with stock of goods like range OF
mountains. Then Bancroft 81 McCarter and
IL. c. Hall & Bro, both houses carrying an
immense assortment in every line. A. S. Smith
proposes to get into his new store in time for
holiday trade, and he will make q splendid
show of goods. whitley also extends an in
vItation, and Hallberg has some goods left. |
The dry goods stores, you know, keep also |
many neat things in the way OF notions, fancy |
goods, &C., and can carpet q house short |
notice. For ready made
CLOTHING, BOOTS AND SHOES, HATS AND
CAPS, GENTS FURNISHING GOODS,
TRUNKS, &C.,
our columns give all the houses. There's
Clapp-the old reliable-with a store cram
full, and more a coming. French, who makes
astonishing prices, has again replenished, and
will stand the rush like veteran. Perley &
Bearce are hea ped up, too, with big stock,
and have many neat little fixtures for a gen.
tleman's toilette. And Metzler, even for the
holidays. persists in selling at cost-and can
dress a man or boy from head to foot wonder
fully cheap. Then around on Sixth avenue
we find Lehnhard, who Keeps firing away all
the while in our business notice columns. His
Red Bood' store Is as popular as ever, and is
ready to compare prices with anybody. j. c.
Hall & Bro. and Smith also keep good line of
clothes, boots, &c, and do considerable in
those branches.
Ifthere are any really important matters on
this earth, they are
MILLINERY AND DRESS MAKING,
and the establishments Of Newman & Bro,
(managed by Madames Newman Kidder,)
and of Mrs. j. NJ. Green, can satisfy the most
Gastidtous taste, with prices to suit any pocket
book, large or small. We don't dare TO say
more in regard to these affairs, being more at

FuRNITURH. 49,
We know q chair or q table, or q bureau, any
! time we see 1t, and we know that the only
places IN Southwestern Kansas to get furni-

haywood IL CO.'s. ~ nat more uSeIul gut
than n piece or sett Of new furniture. Both
these firms have very large stocks, comprising
| all that Is to be found in the best furniture
houses, and we know they sell at as low
prices as can possibly be afforded. Another
kind Of household furniture, which

along without, is called stoves. A stove to q
| house is like the engine to a steamboat. 1t is
the grand source OF motive power--if its a
good stove. Good stoves, of every approved
variety, may be had Of o. z. Bowman & Co.,
f. r. Holderman & Bros, Bruner & McMur-

presents of his. A full stock OF tinware may
also be found at all OF these justly popular
stores. After cooking we must eat, on dishes,

only crockery in ali shapes, but lamps, hx-
lures, = special lot Of table ware, napkin
