So when Christmas, 1885, came around the
Children's clubs very naturally got ready for
the usual entertainment. The success of the
previous year was repeated. The president Of
district II had left the city with her father,
and Miss Mollie Villas, daughter of the then
Postmaster General, now the Secretary of the
Interior, took her place as president Miss
Rose Cleveland, the sister Of the President
became the president of the ladies' committee.
The next year witnessed the reorganization
OF the clubs and the usual entertainments given
in the three districts. Last year there was
another successful event in the history of the
Christmas clubs of this city. So infectious was
the example Of the previous years that the
coiored people went into the movement and
entertained at dinner the poor children of their
own race.
This year the Christmas clubs will hold their
entertainment on the 29th instant Miss Mollie
Villas is president again of the club in district
II, and in West Washington and East Washing
ton the clubs are fully organized and the
preparations are being rapidly completed. The
prospect this year il that the celebration vim
be as successful as those in the past,

Robert Holt, a suburban resident, while returning home from Globe, a few nights since, during a storm of wind and rain, when not a heavenly ray illumed his path, and as he plodded on through mud and mire, trusting to his familiarity with the ground, trav- ersed so often before, to guide him safely 10 his ranch, suddenly shot aownwards as into an abyss, but was brought to g realizing sense of the sit uation by the chilling water in which he was submerged up to the neek-in fact he was in well. He called lus- tily fer help, and in thus violently ex- ercising his lungs. so cracked his volcs that it was unable to reach above a whisper, and having in his youth read the bible, he recalled the story of Zacehsus, and immediately began to climb, and after repeated attempts reached the surface in time to witness the re-appearance of daylight in the east. He was asked, "Did you give thanks, with grateful soul, for your release?" "No," he answered, met exactly, after 1 was relieved from fear of sudden death; but while in my ina periled position I prayed with zeal that seemed to never tire.

When I reepened, at my old stand, a year age, many were the predictions of nay friendly disposed would-be com petitors, that Mrs. Gill, would never again, do the amount of business. which she had controlled prioEto 1888. Facts however speak louder than words, and when 1 announce to-day that the volume of my business this year, exceeds that of any previous year by over 50 per cent, l cannot help but feel proud of the success achieved, neither, shall I be unmindful of the causes, which produced thls splendid result.
 The uniform, excellent quality, and low prices of my goods, the enc price system, for one and all, the prompt at- tention which I give to all orders, whether large or small, have ne doubt, in a.great measure, contributed their share to my success. but without the substantial and generous support of my numerous good old friends, the success, could have only been partial enc.
 Allow me then geod friends and kind customers to offer to you my heartfelt thanks fer the liberal pat. rsnage which you have accorded me in the past, and hoping to deserve d continuation of the same, in the fu- ture, remain wishing you all most prosperous and happy New Year,
 Your friend and well wisher,
 MRS. R. GILL.
