PARAGRAPH COLUMN.

For THE ABILENE REFLECTOR.
Plant your Holiday advertisement in
the REFLECTOR.
The genial, hazy weather of the past
few weeks has almost demOraliZed our
dealers in clothing and other winter
goods.
Mr.. J. g. Hamaker has been sick for
the last few days, but we are glad to
state that he is recovering.
Mrs. Ed. Herbst gave an enjoyable
whist party at her Third street residence,
last evening.
Mr.. s. w. Gardner, the accommOda-
ting manager at the waterworks, is so
well pleased with the REFLECTOR that
he subscribes for three yearly papers.
The REFLECToR's columns are just
little bit crowded this week, but not
withstanding that fact it is still on top
in the quantity, and may we say quail
ty, of its reading matter.
The wise advertiser catches the early
customer, and from the look of the RE-
FLECToR columns this week one readily
W lllC COllClllSlOll IlltSO NllS1S oAO
many wise advertisers in Abilene.
The article which our friend, Mr..
ThOs. Byrne, of Chapman, sent to us
with request to publish, will appear
in our next issue. 1t came too late for
this weeks paper.
Mr.. D. w. Keller brought into our
Sanctum last Friday, Dec. 18th, full
blown pansy. 1t doomed in the panSy
bed which he has in his yard, and its
| life is not in the least due to artificial
means. "Sunny Kansas is fact and
not delusion.
| Mr.. ]. J. Tucker, special agent for
the Burlington Insurance Company, has
located in Abilene with Office above
First National Bank. Mr.. Tucker is a
young man of business ability and at
tractive social qualities, and the RE-
FLECTOR welcomes him to Abilene.
The Flowers Concert Family did not
materialize in this city according to an
nouncement, and their present where
abouts are unknown. 1t is probable
that they have climbed the golden
STAIR" and taking the supposition as a
truth We congratulate the amusement
going public.
Mr.. Chas. w. Meeker, of Manhattan,
has been on a hunting and trapping ex-
petition along the Smoky Hill river,
working down stream from BelOit. He
came across four beaver towns, and
about two miles from this city he cap
tured a fifty-fve pound beaver. The
animal was exhibited at Frank Ball S
meat market and attracted great deal
of curious attention.
The Presidents message in full, the
Postmaster-G Generals report, Congress
sional and Washington news help to
make the inside of this issu e
very interesting and valuable read
ing. Our Congressional and Washing
ton news will be a feature of the paper
during the session of Congress.
Mr.. NJ. p. Jolly's loan and real estate
agency office may now be found over
Hawk & Gleissner's store, where al
business will be attended to as satisfac-
, tOrily as heretofore. Mr.. Jolley has
gained the reputation of being reliable
man to deal with, and it is his endeavOl
to sustain that reputation.
, Mr.. A. H. Martin will start his broom
factory next Tuesday. Mr.. Martin i!
= well prepared for the work, his factory
1 building being very large and well fitted
up. He will turn out nothing but frs
class work, and the REFLECTOR wishe
: him success. 1t is another industry ad
( ded to Abilene, and the south sid
: claims it.
y A large tiger cat, or catamount
: attracted some interest last Tues
day as it lay dead on the sidewall
in front of Mr.. SINNERS blacksmith
e shop. 1t was killed by Mr.. o. Kin
) with the help of short hay-fOrk and tw
q other men with clubs. Two hound
d had cornered the animal in corn feel
l. about three miles from town, where
J was killed. Itweighed about So pound
Il and was an ugly looking customer.
le We do not wish to make an invidiou
comparison, but we are reliably il
formed that Junction City, nOtwitf
standing the eclat Of her pork packin
It establishment, is twenty years benin
lie Abilene in business push and gener;
A. style. This little chunk of truth
S: thrown out with the hope that it wi
r cause Editors Martin and Davis to ID
4. 60 each others throat and unite in til
s: defense of their village against con
f. mon enemy. Blessed is the peaC
maker sc.
