melOdlouS operetta, specially adapted
to Christmas-tree festivities, introduc
ing Santa Claus and the whole audi
ence at the close, is published in the

title of "Caught Mapping" Sent
postpaid for 25cts, by ID. LOthrop d
Co., Boston.
The space reserved on our eighth
page by the enterprising firm of Girls
void d Co. for the advertisement of
their holiday goods will attract the
attention of all readers. Their toys
are now open and ready for inspec-
ton, while they are daily receiving
and opening fresh supplies in the line
Of confections and fancy groceries.
They ask your holiday trade on the
merit of their goods and the low
prices at which they offer them.
MIR. A, M. st. John has been APP
pointed agent for the STANDARD at
Viola, and is authorized to collect
both old and new subscriptions at
that point, and contract for advertis-
ing and job work. We hope he may
succeed in largely increasing our list
at that office. We already have
large list there, but we are never sat
isfied with a list at any Office until it
embraces every family in the neigh
borhood. ..... .....|
: Some eff our Northwestern visit
t ors were greeted with very familiar
sight while here. Several ofthe par
f ty made a trip to Ben Lomond on
Wednesday morning, and on reach
5 ing the top were considerably sur
, prised to find about two inches of
| snow covering the ground, which had
fallen the night previous. The sum-
r nit of this mountain is rs feet above
our square, and is distant some three
or four miles by the road.
-Messrs. Ed. Price, Ben Sanders
and NJ. Chambers, of Carthage, after
u spending some days in our county,
paid the STANDARD brief call last
Monday afternoon, just before their
, departure homeward. We have a
faint suspicion that they were up here
I looking for housekeepers. Perhaps
y some of our friends out on Hickory
:, Creek could throw some light on the
s subject. But you may come again,
i gentlemen; we know the attractions
e are irresistable-the Warren county
girls can't be beat anywhere.
