HOLIDAY NOTES.
MORRISvILLE.

Tune IN the matter of goods for the
holiday trade, our merchants have
made a display of goods which car
hardly be exeelled IN any place Of
MOrrisville's size.
MunsOn has about his usual line Of
solid goods, with a special display OF
cups and saucers, hand and table
lamps. Mr.. Munson keeps a good
stock, is a good man to deal with,
and by his efforts to please his Gus
toners, makes his store a pleasant
place to trade.
Miss Bradley, the artist, announces
that owing to the large amount OF
portrait work on hand, over seventy
five orders, she has not been able to
do anything special for Christmas,
out has some fine paintings for sale,
also some hand-painted novelties
a. o. Gates, in the corner drug
store, has been fore-handedi in provid-
ing for the gift season. The longer
one looks at the display the more he
tlnds to please and desire. One en-
tire table is devoted to dressing
cases, manicure and odor sets. The
next contains writing-desks, another
toys and gifts for the children, while
the background is gay with many
rlchly-cOlored albums in all shapes
and styles. A household of dolls
shows to advantage in the window.
Mr.. Gates has his usual amount of
popular books, both in illustrated
editions by Dore and the standard
works of the day.
From the moment one enters Cur
rler's store he will be convinced of
the condition of trade therein. One
might easily fill a column with de-
scrlptions of the toys, dolls, sachets,
pertumery, manicure and toilet sets
adjoining the long table in the center.
curriers' pagoda" of handkerchief
neatly arranged, is the most notice
able as the door opens. A long row
OF fur goods, capes and muffs is an
effective reminder of the possibility of
combining comfort with elegance in
this cold weather Then turning to
the shelves full of goods, the stock of
the old stand-bys-dress goods, etc,
is equally complete.
Doty says he makes a speciality of
goOds-has no Christmas display and
intends to have none. He only
thought that at this time of year
there might not be enough to 90
around, and so has greatly increased
his usual stock Besides sleds, skates
and other winter goods for the young
people, he has some decorated crock
cry, lamps and the regular display of
fancy and staple furniture. Go and
look it over; we won't attempt to
tell you about it.
Robinson uses his large show-win-
dow to good advantage with several
Christmas trees bearing an effective
display of fancy goods. Inside, a
long table covered with toys and no.
tions, an extensive line of stationery
and d showcase full of fancy goods
attracts the eye. VIII is preparing
for the holiday trade in a business
like manner
Mrs. Wilder finds it necessary to
enlarge her store, and has added on
another room. Santa Claus is there
as announced, accompanied by dolls
of all sizes, notions, toys and some
excellent hair goods. It's worth a
visit to see how large a stock cali be
put into a small space.
Waterman, the popular clothier,
has put in an extra fine lot of neck
wear and gentlemen furnishing
goods, and recommends that any la
dies who wish to make a handsome
present to their gentleman friends,
should come in and look over his
stock.
|. A. White < Co. have not received
their Christmas stock yet, as it will |
consist mainly of oranges, lemons, |
etc, and a fine assortment |
of confectionery, a very necessary adj
iunct of the seasons festivities.
We need say but little to emphasize
the fact that at Mrs. Hadley's MILL
merry store the ladies will find an eX-
cellent assortment of holiday special
ties to choose from. There are hand
kerchiefs, aprons, ladies neckwear,
also some very neat sachets. She is
also displaying a line of new goods
just arrived, especially for the season.
q Then up spraDg the buck, and his head as a
king to a crown did go,
Full high in the breeze, and he stood as if
death had the form of deer"
These words came to mind in look
ing at the show window of Lang &
Campbell's iewelry store, which is
made attractive with n finely-mount-
ed deer. There is in this store prob
ably the finest assortment of silver
ware and jewelry ever brought into
the county, and anyone wishing to
make a valuable and useful present
to a friend had better call in there
