The holiday season will soon be here,
and with it the opportunity to prove
that it is more blessed to give than to
receive. Merchants are beginning to
lay in their stocks of holiday goods,
and both old and young are now and
then turning their thoughts to what
they will select for presentation to
their friends when Christmas draws
nearer. Now is the time when business
men should use printers ink. Let the
public know where they can get the
required articles, and not wait until
the last moment, when the people have
no time to decide what they want.
Palace Hall Furniture Store is now
packed full of handsome holiday fur
niture. If you are thinking of making
Christmas gift, what could possibly
be more appreciated in the home than
nice parlor suit or bed room suit, an
easy chair or rocker, a centre table or
a lounge? | have gentlemen's arm
chairs from 80 to Sl5; ladies' rockers
from Sl.75 to S25. My order book is
now open, and goods may be selected,
and will be carefully marked and put
away for delivery Christmas. | will
pay freight on every article purchased
from now until Christmas. Remember
the place-Palace Hall Furniture Store,

T. II. Brand, general manager for T.
Dewitt Talmage, is as full of Talma-
gian enthusiasm as Talmage is in his
sermons and lectures. He has manag
ed all the celebrated lecturers of the
times; Cannon Farrar, Matthew Arnold,
Justin Mccarthy, Prof. II. A. Proctor
and others, and he says that none of
them can compare with the Great
Brooklyn Divine in affability, genorosi-
ty and good will to all men. The
humorous side of life seems to be con-
stantly on top, consequently the bright
side of things is uppermost, and all his
lectures are replete with material to
provoke hearty laughter. Talmage
will deliver his great lecture "Big
at the City Opera House,
Port Huron, on Tuesday evening, Dec.
