remembered that in all goods
and most emphaticalIy in dress
goods, not only is the stock we
Show the most complete in the
world, but the prices are always
as low or less than the market.
We couldn't afford to have it
otherwise.
The effort is frequently made
to misrepresent our policy in
respect to staple and medium
goods. We keep no trash.
We do keep everything in
Dress Goods that selfrespect-
ing and complete dry goods
house should have. You can
buy plain staples here at the
least, and can find the greatest
variety.
We hold and have held the
only worthy stock Of Gloriosa.

them. Had you come here you
could have seen Gloriosa and
the whole range of Mohairs,
each called correctly by name
and at proper prices.
The same is true of many
other things. Sound reasoning
says that you cannot afford to
ignore Wanamaker's on any
thing Wanamaker's have for
sale.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW

The old custom Of holding "Watch
Meetings" was observed by the white
and colored Methodist churches and by
the colored Baptist church of our town.
AS the hand approached the concluding
point upon the dial, the bells of the
respective churches tolled the knell of
departure while Christians, upon
Bonded knee, were silently thanking
God for favors past and invoking aid
for future tolls and triumphs. When
the hour of twelve had been passed, in
the circuit, the prayer was changed
into song and the tolling Of the bells
changed into gleeful ringing, thus
not only welcoming the New Year but
closing the present service. At the
NJ. r. Church South, Rev. j. VIM: Lee
preached most excellent sermon. He
was assisted in the conduct Of the
service by the Rev. Mr.. Lennon.

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas has come and gone leaving
behind only things of pleasantness for
our remembrance. The weather, during
the entire holidays, was unexception-
ably fine giving old and young abund
ant opportunity to enjoy themselves in
all the appointed ways usual in COM
memorating this event.
Owing to the absence of the minister,
there were no services held in the
Methodist church The usual impress
i've commemorative service was held at
st PauPs. The Church was beauti-
fully decorated, by the ladies, for the
occasion. The display was not only a
credit to the taste and Judgment of its
designers but, pleasing indication of
determination to forsake not the Gus
tom Of their ancient fathers and mothers
IN Zion. The music Of the occasion,
though not as scientific as that heard in
former years, was beautifully simple
and betokened:a spirit of actual praise
and service gather than desire to
display. The sermon, by the Rector,
was most appropriate and good and we
believe every worshiper in the congre-
cation felt that at was good to be
there
There were no services in the Baptist
church. In the afternoon, we sauntered
out on the huStings to see how our
neighbors were passing the time.
Everywhere the utmost quiet reigned.
Sobriety held almost complete sway
amid the crowds we met which, though
bent on pleasure, acted as if whiskey
was not it's only essential. We con-
graduate the people Of our charming
town upon their most quiet, reyerential
and appropriate observance Of this day
Of unparalleled event.
