Christmas presents off on Saturday, and
enjoyed ourselves at our Christmas tree

as well 10 celebrate on one wrong day
as the other, (as neither Is the right

We had jolly good time, and our msr
chants brought on large assortment oI
Christmas presents, and they sold about
all. So Scio had Christmas in the
regular way on the accustomed day
Now, by the method, you will readily
see that our merchants were successful
in disPosing Of their toys etc. first, and
since then, thoy are displaying their
general merchandise, and from general
observation, we think they are rather
more sucseasful in disposing Of their
we'll selected stock, then they were in
the toy line.
Our friends and neighborS, some
years ago, sent TO Portland for goods,
and they continued TO sond until they
found that G. B. Roland & Co. woaid
furnish just the same goods for about
the same money, besides they found it
better TO select goods from the counter
than from a catalogue. Now, by the
way Of advice, do not purchase your
stock for winter and spring use, until
you call at G. d. Roland & Co.'S. store,
and SOC for yourself.
