THE HOLIDAYS.
The Business Men of Rutland
WHERE TO PURCHASE PRESENTS.
ANNUAL TRADE DIRECTORY.

| The revolving year has again brought
us to the eve of the holidays From time
immemorial these Christmas holidays
seem to have been set apart to teach Us
that there ia blessedness in giving, that
it blesses him who gives and him who re-
| ceives. OF course, no one is SO friendless
and alone that he cannot psrtake of this
pleasure, both of giving and receiving.
With view, therefore, to aid our read
era, so far as we may, in making their se-
leotions. we propose, from day to day, to
present list of the more prominent
places of business in Rutland, especially
of those who have made special prepara-
tions for the season by laying in large
stocks of elegant goods appropriate for
holiday gifts. To commence at home, we
would refer to
THE HERALD BOOKSTORE.

and reorea, Zen. pleasure and profit, in

hardly know what to say in reference to
his stock, it is overwhelming and speaks
for itself. Francis certainly has the hap
pay faculty of pleasing the little ones.
There is no end to the number and kind
of toys he has. Old Santa Claus himself

stock. Parents, II lake you children happy.
