Tomorrow is Christmas and to day is
the last chance for buying Christmas pres
ents. We advise all of our friends, with
long purses or short purses to call on John
A. Miller, the jeweler, and look at his dis.
play of Christmas goods. You can not fail
to be suited in price or quality. Gold and
silver watches, cheap or expensive chains,
fine jeweIry, fancy articles, clocks, solid
silver ware, diamonds and precious stones,
an endless variety Of goods to choose from
at very low prices.

"A happy event occurred at the How
ard House last night. Mr.. Bruce HAYES,
an express messenger on the Iron Mountain
road, was married to Miss Lizzie Robert
son, tue accomplished daughter of the
genial proprietor Of the hotel, Mr.. r. f.
Robertson, Rev. E. A. Hoyt performed
the ceremony in the presence of number
of invited guests. After a bountirul re-
past, the happy compile departed for Little

The election of officers of Cairo Coun.
Gil 1854 Of the American Legion of Honor
occurred Monday night. For the
coming year the list is as follows: De
partment grand con mander, A. Comings;
past commander, ]. S. McGahey; com.
mander, j. A. Poore; vice commander, W
L. Bristol; orator, II. F. Potter; secretary,
Z. K. Ellis; collector, Frank Spencer
treasurer, VIM. Winter, jr,; chaplain, Fred
S. Smith; guide, Henry Bunker; warden,
NJ. 5. Leftcovitch; sentry, French Axley;
trustees, Chas. Lancaster, W. L. Winans and
f. B, Dietrich.
Winter is now upon US, and the poorand
needy feel its effects. That there is suffer
ing in our midst there can be little doubt,
for such is always the case during this sea-
son. Persons who are comfortably housed
with plenty to protect and sustain the in
ner and outer man, little realize the con.
ditlons and circumstances OF those of mea-
gre means. It's to be hoped that those
suffering people who have met with hard
luck may be pitied, and their requirements
Of life more literally supplied by those of
more bountiful means. The depression in
business has thrown many out of work;
others have been visited by sickness. These
are the ones to be cared for. Those who
have spent the summer in ideness, and are
now lazy and improvidest, are little to be
pitied.
