As holiday affair a tooth extraction
is hardly in order, but if one wants to
confer real blessing on some tooth
less friend, let him see DR.. j. c..
Pfeiffer. "How sharper than a
serpent's tooth" was said of "a thank
less child" but flial son or daughter
can win a continual benediction by
supplying his father or mother with
set better than the original.
Nothing has yet been said concern
ing the preparations druggists have
made for the festal period of the year.
A. F. Parker, besides IA profuse stock
of the usual accomplishments, of drugs
-perfumery, toilet notions, cts, has a
nickel and dime emporium, where little
ones and big ones may invest small

selves. The variety in both drug and
small notion selections of his store Is
endless.
There is an "r" i'll December
and Christmas comes in December.
Christmas is, thel efore, the prime time
to eat oysters, although the indulgence
in the luscious bivalve may be pro-
longed into January and February,
and even into March and April. But
you must have oysters during the
holidays, and Charley Reichenbach's
dining room is frst-class place to get
them. He has them in every style.
Moreover, there will be other holiday
edibles and elegancies served there
everyday, and ''the stranger within
our gates" will enjoy special attention,
What is the matter with a barrel OF
flour for a Christmas present! The
fact of its universal use would render
it an appropriate holiday remembrance
for any family, and to many it would
prove a veritable godsend. If you
want to do something good senda barrel
of "Goid Medal Flour" to some needy
family. If able to buy only for your
self, get a barrel of "Gold Medal for
your own use. 1t is the very thing for
Christmas baking.
Looking in D. F. McMullen Il Cos
windows the other day the JOURNAL
asked. soto ooce-''does Christmas
suggest furs ?" Not necessarily, but
we reasoned the conclusion out this
way-"Chrlstmas implies cold weather,
cold weather suggests furs, wraps, etc"
This firm, therefore, placed a leading
article before the passersby as a so1'
of signboard to what was inside. Bu1
furs are not an exclusive line with
them they have a wilderness of goods
almost enough to confuse the care
full buyer and make him regret he did
not get something else. These goods
comprise articles especially designed
for holiday gifts.
The cyclone and rains injured the
storeroom of Marx & Feldsteln to
considerable extent, and the firm de-
sires to repair damages. To do this
they are offering extraordinary in
ducements to purchasers of clothing
for men, youths, boys and children.
There is, therefore, absolutely no need
of anybody going without good clothes
during the holidays. If they do, it is
their own fault-not Marx & Field
STEMS.
As matter of fact, a stove-heat-
ing or cooking, or a range, is the very
thing for man to give his wife at this
season If she needs it. There is not a
big opportunity available to hardware
and stove men to make a brilliant dis

poses, yet when it comes to actual
utility these are the goods that are
sure to remind the beneficiary for
wears TO come of the goodness which
made her happy during the holidays
of 1891. If not stove an acceptable
gift can take shape in knives and forks,
spoons and large number of articles
that F. C. Beall handles with so much
pleasure to the thousands who deal
with him.
This is an immense time at B. Stern
& Co.'s store. Temporarily displaced
by the cyclone, the firm is back again
bright and clipper as ever, and just
as fully prepared to serve the horde of
Christmas buyers as if the cyclone had
never come. The store is beautifully
decorated for the occasion, hence more
than ever a popular resort for the
ladies. who love to look at millinery and
fancy goods and regret they have not
enough money to buy all they can see
here. For if you have a dozen gifts to
buy you can get all at Storms; if you
have twenty to buy it is the same
