 E.P. Hunt & Go holiday announce ment appears in another column. It tells its own story and needs no comment from us further than to say we trust you will read it before making your purchases.
 F. T. Whiting & Son have an elegant stock of fancy and useful articles for the holiday season. Their advertisement in another column merely mentions a few specialities but you must visit their store in order to comprehend the variety and extent of their assortment.
 Hall Hornbeck & Go have outdone themselves this season and have distanced all their previous efforts in the line of useful and ornamental holiday goods, and the best feature of the whole Is the price, which Is so tempting that it insures the sale of the entire stock before Jan. 1st.
 Give useful holiday presents to your friends; warm their hands and head as we'll as their heart. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness, and hold you in grateful remembrance if you give them some of the seasonable goods which R. Girling now offers you at less price than any concern in Southern Berkshire. See advertisement.

THE DOUGLAS LIBRARY
Settled i'm its New Home.

Settled in its New Home.
 Last Saturday the new Douglas Library building was for the first time opened to the public. The books had been removed from their old | quarters and arranged on the new shelves. The newly appointed librarian. Miss Mary Cummings, was initiated and the whole establishment was inspected by many old and some new patrons. The building proves to be very convenient and fully adequate to the needs of the ibary. The generosity of the donor of the building has been initiated by three public-spirited ladies who have provided the furniture, including stove, chairs, framed pictures of Longfellow, Whittier, Bryant and Emerson, and busts of Shakespeare and Milton, also library table and 8 hbrarian's desk which has not yet arrived. About one hundred new books will soon be added to the library and it is hoped that some books of reference such as encyclopedias may find place on the shelves now that there is oppor- tanity to examine such books in the library room. In this connection it may be mentioned that through the thought fulness of Judge Granger the library now receives every week the official Gazette of the U. s. patent office which contains list and drawing of every patent issued. A number of interesting reports of the U. s. Geological survey accompanied by aliases and colored plates have been received and may be examined at the library.
 Hereafter the library will be open every Saturday afternoon from one until half past four o'clock during the short days and until five o'clock when the days grow longer.
 The new conditions have made necessary slight changes in the regu- lations: the payment of ten cents now entities person to draw eight bool ,, not more than two on the same day; for one dollar the librarian will issue a card entitling the owner to the use of the library for one year. This enables constant readers to effect a little saving and also gives others an opportunity to contribute something toward the support of valuable public institution.
 The Douglas Library has entered a new era. thanks to the large-hearted donor of the new building. To make liberal use of it's store of knowledge will be the best way to express oul gratitude to those who have given it te us.
