A SPLENDID DISPLAY.
The new Stock of Grimes & Venable

Messrs Grimes 4 Vcnable, our enserprising |
jewelers., at No g, Main street have COM
menced preparing for the Christmas holidays, |
and a'singlc look at their really splendid and
costly display Of goods which lines their
shelves with the greatest profusion. cannot
fall to impress the minds of the most skepti- |
cal that it largely excels many boxstful es-
Establishments in our larger cities. Their
stock is greater and ola liner quality now
than 1t ever has been. because they wish to
keep pace with the widest demand for goods
in their line, and because they wish to open
out In their new store the most attractive
display ever male In Lexington or any city
Of its size in Missouri.
Their ns,o stock embraces chiefly holiday
goods and fancy articles, from which we
might except nlargc amount Of elegant silver
plated Ware, fine table and pocket cutlery,
and some other articles more Of everyday de-
mand, of which 1t looks like they had enough
to supply the whole county for months 10
come. Their vases, toys, and everything
Santa Claus: ever dreamed Of, are in great
variety, while all the girls who have Inspect.
cd the place, have pronounced the dolls not
only lawful pretty" but ''perfectly splen-
did" We cannot describe everything dis
played in this really magnificent establish
mcnt. but it will cost you nothing to go look
~ 1t when In town, and IL you wish to buy,
your desired articles will cost you no more
and most likely much less than at auy house
Of the kind In the west.
Their new quarters will be numbered CO,
the cast house in the new block, their store
being Immediately opposite the main en-
trance to the City Ho'el. Every effort is
being made to have the house completed ut
til. earliest day. Their splendid glass doors,
the finest and largest III Lexington, are al
ready in place, the plastering is done, and
We believe little now remains to do but to
put in the counters AMI shelving.
Mcssrs. Grimes Il Vcnablc have always
heretofore advertised literally and have paid
all their bill, promptly, and 1t gives us great
pleasure to testify to their prosperity aud
enterprise.
Remember the place, No. 50 Main street,
soon to be removed to No IS, the east house

The Lrst snow of the season fell on

terish since, giving the stove dealers much
business, and causing \ general looking up
