We hear complaint from our sub
scribcrs who receive mail ut Ashton,
Leroy and Ellsworth postoffices, that
they do not receive all the copies of
the STAR. All we can say Is that the
fault must rest with "Uncle Sans"
employees; for we arc certain of the
fact that the papers arc mailed regu-
larly and properly ut this Office.
Monday Is Christmas, and according

your pets in receiving their Christmas
gifts. Don't say you can't afford any
presents; for we believe there's none
so poor but that they can afford some
gift which will delight the little hearts
as nothing can ever do when they have
grown up to manhood and wOmanhood,
and are vexcd with the cares and tolls of
this life. IfyOu cannot give them
what you wish, give them what you
can; but don't disappoint them!
