THE great advertisement OF Barnard
Sumner & Co., on another page, contains a
vast deal OF information Of interest to
Christmas purchasers. 1t Will pay every
one to look it over. The distinguishing fea-
ture of the goods of this firm is that they
are, first Of all, useful, and then beautiful,
Read carefully what is said about ordering
these goods by mail There is not the
slightest difficulty in getting all orders filed
promptly. The firm has abundant help
during the holiday season, and the system
is perfect.
The Christmas nun Der Of the Century is
filed with reading appropriate to the sea-
son. There is Christmas story by Joel
Chandler Harris, and a Christmas poem by
Pr sident Henry Morton of Stevens Insti-
tute, while the editor, in "Some Christmas
Reflections" says that perhaps the readers
may find as much of the true Christian feel
ing in DR.. Lyman Abbott's article "Can a
Nation Have Religion?" and in the article
on the Record of Virtue" as in the more
ostensibly Christmas features of this
number. 1t is very readable number.
FURs smoking jackets, bath wraps, um-
brellas, travelling bags and neckwear are
the Christmas goods which Farwell is
offering this week. In the line of furs are
ladies' capes and mems coats, OF which
there is large and very handsome stock.
Furs are the thing this winter, and Farwell
sells the best. You can not think OF bet
ter present than something in beautiful
fur. In the general line of furnishing goods
also are many articles which make suitable
and attractive gifts. Come in and see what
there is to be seen.
