 s-The Cumberland Presby terian sum- day school voted last Sunday to have christmas tree December 24th. The us- ual committees were appointed and act i've operations begun to make the oc- easion a source of pleasure as well as profit to the little ones. To the older heads the christmas tree has long since become old and devoid of interest, but to the young it is never ending well spring of delight, and for this reason, If for no other, we preseme it is best to build annually the gift bearing tree to reward the good little girls and boys for the good deeds of the past and inclte them to better and nobler actions in the future.
 Before you buy your Christmas presents go and look through the stock of Wilkey & Stueckel. They think it no trouble to show goods and will be glad to wait on yor.
 Among the attractions that will be offered during the present season none will be more noticeable than the holi- day display of Mcssrs. Wilkey & Steuck el. Their reputation is already estab- lished as dealers in watches, jewelry, etc., and they are always prepared to meet the demand of the general trade, but on extra holiday occasions some thing more elaborate is required and they propose to keep up with the pro- cession." Their stock is largely increas ed and contains silverware, plush goods, vases, toys, musical instruments. watch es, jewelry and other things too numer- ous to mention Their tailoring estab- lishment is in full blast with orders on hand for all the work their large force of hands can do. The large and profit able business built up by this firm has been done by fair dealing and close at tention to business, and the DEMOCRAT takes pleasure in recording their suc- cess.
