An Interesting Topic on Presents That
Should be Read by all Buyers of
Christmas and New Years
Presents,

The time is upon US when the
question arises "wiat shall I buy"
him or her for a present. Every one,
old and young, rich and poer wishes
and expects to be remembered by
their relatives and friends, sweet
hearts and lovers on Christmas or
New Years; it makes no difference
whether the munerary is large or
small, it is always accepted as a
token of love or esteem, and for the
benefit of all I have made the ques-
ton astudy for the last three months.
I have spent time and money in se-
lecting the choicest goods in the
market for my patrons, and feel con-
fident l can suit them as to quality
and price, and l have confidence
enough in the people of Mexico aud
the country surrounding to know
they will appreciate my labor. My
goods are all warranted, and if not as
represented will be thankful to those
who will return them. Soliciting
your patronage, L am your obedient
servant, J. NJ. POLLARD.
