Not the least of the many pleasant
sights Christmas eve was the display Of
meats at our market. The deer, buffalo,
bear, ducks, chickens, grouse, par
, tridges, pigs steaks and roasts as well
as the fish and oysters We're most APP
pensing.
D..Holliday, and Mr.. Austin, sa-
loon keeper, relieved the monotony of
the noise of tire-cracllers by taking
couple of shots at each other yesterday
afternoon. The cheerful note of the
= peaceful six-shooter is heard once
more among us. Both shooters were
arrested.

The Christmas tree of the children
of st. Mathews church last night at
Fields theater, made many little one
happy. Mr.. Richard Morgan, the su-
perintendent of the Sunday school,
marshaled his well-behaved ard pretty
bevy of little folks. They sang an APP
propriate hymn. The Rev. Mr..
Davenport made short and appropri-

Mrs. John Henry Brown, a most es-
Unable lady, and the accomplished
wife of our well known fell0w-citizen,
John Henry Brown, has returned to
her home in Dallas, after visit of
several months to relatives in New
York and Connecticut. AS if to make
her coming doubly welcome to her
family, she arrived Christmas hight.
We trust her prolonged stay in the
Empire and Nutmeg states has not
weakened her love for the Lone Star of
Texas. We wish her II most merry
Christmas, and the happiest of New
Years.

and the beautiful white fur cloak to
little Jodie Booth.

others were indefatigable in their {
efforts to entertain the grown guests
