On top, and make no mistake. The
Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
are doing the business in their line and
their trade is still increasing. They sell
the best goods in teas and cOffees, and can
give better goods for less money than any
house in the city because they are import
ers and buy for their two hundred or more
stores throughout the United States. Every
buyer of tea, coffee and sugar appreciates the
value of good goods, anu when they can
get better goods for less money than other
stores ask. that IS the place they
are locking for and the place where they
will buy their goods. This fact is so with
the Great Alta ntic and Pacific Tea Co., un-

weather; M. Greer, residence be
gun but not finished; the newspa-
per enterprise nipped by a biz
card, but this enterprise will come
to the front again and the same
energy that obtained the bank will
get a paper. This is the next step
forward for our village to take will
not bestow in taking it. Any vigor-
Gus young man with a fair share
of push and brains enough to guide,
would do well to come here at this
time and start a paper. He would
meet with all the encouragement
he could ask.
After various pleasant parties
during the holidays amongst the
most notable of which were those
at Messrs. John S. Harrison's and
John Swans and the entertainment
by the Odd Fellows at their hall,
the season of festivity closed and
the new year was urshered in with
the Wedding of Mr.. Ben McAfee to

of the week. The Good Templars
also gave a supper on New Years-

all. The entertainment given by
the Ladies' Aid Society of the

and considering the bad weather
was well attended. The receipts

gagged In the "Last Loaf performed
