THE HOLIDAY TRADE OPENING
UP IN GRANDER SHAPE
THAN EVER.
A Trip around the City and what
the Reporter saw thereon.

The Holidays are nearly upon us.
1t becomes every person to ask
himself where and what am 1 to
purchase for present. TO save
our readers the trouble of pacing
from one end of the town to another
in search of such goods, a TIMES
reporter has made the rounds and
is herein prepared to state the facts
as they are. On our circuit we
were surprised to see what good
selections the merchants have
made. Almost everything that can
be thought of is found in showcase
or on counter. There will certainly
be no trouble in finding what you
are after ifyou follow the advice of
the TIMES and 60 to any of the
houses mentioned below. The first
man we came across was
". "A. 1OOLE.
George wore very pleasant smile
on his face and invited us to step
within and take a gaze. We were
surprised to see what large and
handsome stock of candies he has.
He purchased 1900 pounds of the
best favored candies on the market
and has made cut on prices.
George buys his stick candy by the
barr. ! and therefore sells it very
cheap. Notwithstanding this line
of candy is the largest and best
ever brought to Maryville, it is the
smallest part of his holiday stock
Nuts of every description, apples
large juicy oranges, lemons, dates
raisins, currants, popcorn blocks
and anything and everything of tht
kind that anybody wants. This il
not breezy, but it is downright
truth. George will take delight il
showing you his goods, whethel
you want to purchase or not. Feas
your eyes for once by stepping in
When once you have viewed th'
landscape DER you will want to re
peat the operation over and owe
! again.
