an interesting speaker. Oh, well, they have

few days since Mrs. J. II. Prater said to
us, come in and see my Christmas goods.
So, of course, we went in, but had no idea
that we should see such fine display, as our
eyes beheld. Such an assortment of elegant
pictures, of various kinds, photographs, steel
engravings artotypes, albertypes, hand paint
ings, ETC., will seldom be found in town no
larger than Paw Paw. And then such a
brilliant display of Christmas cards, of num-
erous kinds, pressed flowers, picture frames,
toilet cases and other holiday goods, needs
to be seen to be appreciated. Mrs. Prater

shop. She already has larger stock than
she can display.
