Done.
Inasmuch as Christmas and New
Years Day are fast approaching, and
with them the usual amount of noise,
presents, balls, glad faces, and so
forth, we have been around among
our merchants to see who are ready
for them. We found nearly all OF
them prepared to meet the wants OF
men, women and children, in the line
of presents, from the lasting and val
liable to the cheapest toy. Ourrea
ers will see from what follows who
have replete stocks, and may know
where to purchase for their children,
or "any dear friend that which will
please the hardest to please.
