CHRISTMAS GOODS.

To our friends and patrons generally we wish to say that we have purchased very large stock of Christmas and hol- iday goods-much more, in fact, than we should have on hand, considering the scarcity of money in the country, and the "hard year; ;" and realizing that money will not be spent so freely this Christmas as upon former like occa- sions, we have provided ourselves with only such goods as can be sold very cheap, and give the best value for mon- ey received. To purchasing committees representing the surrounding country Sunday schools we shall offer special in- ducements. Don't fail to call and ex- anime our goods and prices before pur- chasing elsewhere. We promise to give satisfaction.
 Yours, wishing a Merry Christmas,

Christmas counter is full to over flowing with almost every conceiv- able article suitable for present for girl or boy. It is impossible to enumerate them all in a short article, hence you had best go and see for yourselves. One important feature worthy of mention is that every thing is priced so low that it is bound to sell. None of the stock will be carried over-everything MUST be sold.

Public School Notes.

School re-opens Monday December 30.
 This is the last week of school before the holidays.
 Recitations and declamations in all the departments next Friday.
 The attendance in the first grade is far below what It should be. Send the smallest regularly
 The boys have & football and will soon be ready to challenge any"eleven" in the State.
 The teachers are to spend their vaca- ton at Dover, deliberating upon meth- ods, aims, troubles, etc., of teaching.
 The proceeds of the elocutionary en- tsrtainment of Prof. Hamill and daugh- ter netted quite nice sum as start to the library fund.
 We have asked small sum from each pupil as Christmas present for tho li- brary. A small amount from each one will make a handsome sum and be worth the full amount to each one. The average attendance the third month of school was two hundred six ty-six. The second month the average was two hundred fifty-three; the first month, two hundred thirty. 1 The following pupils made an average of over 90 last month and were omitted by mistake last week: 9th grade, Fred Quinn. May Love and Mollie Young Eth grade. Kate Bradley, James Love and Mary Cagle. /, We hope that with the holidays the last show, and party, and every other hindering cause of faithful night-study will disappear, and that every parent will insist that each boy above the fourth grade shall be with his books al night instead of on the streets.

Official news confirmed the report that
