says, "Joe is monsous clever feller.'

Coming up Broadway the other day
the JOURNAL stopped at Towles'
show window to look at the med
ley of landscape, bulletin, parlor and
water views which form the fore
ground of his street display. 1t was

Homecoming lieutenant; is a very

Towles can please you.
Do you go barefoot If not, we
know a, place where you can be shod
with more ease and comfort than were
the sprinters in the old Olympian
games. There is always big variety
of shoes, boots and ruboers on hand
for both sexes. But If readymade
goods are not to your tase or comfort,
"have your measure taken" for some
thing that will suit. Not shoes alone,
but M. Rodda d Co. have hats, caps,
ETC., in great abundance.

furniture. But his articles of holiday

old and young enjoy whatever pro-
notes appearances or ease. And IN
very many articles these qualities are
combined, so that if your purse be
lean you can be suited IN selecting
some article that will both please the
eye and rest the body.
Suppose you want to send money
away for gift to some distant friend !
All you have to do is to go to the First
National Bank and buy draft for the

Such d collection of queensware,
china and glass goods, and other
articles has rarely been seen in this
town equal to that displayed by the
Fros,burg branch of the American
Tea company. One can hardly miss
the right article at this place, for the
goods reach through a great variety
of fine articles. Miss Bessie S. Coyner
is in immediate charge and will aid
buyers in making judicious selections.

season of the year and goodly supply
OF tea to fill the aforesaid cup should
be laid in before the holiday rush.
Henry n. Schneider made for the
JOURNAL pair of shoes that go all
around two pairs of tender corns with
out "plowing too close" The fits that
some shoemakers give their patients by
drawing the tape too tight add very
greatly to the violence of the con-
WILSON'S. but Henry seems to under
stand perfectly the disposition of a
well-developed corn and he builds
around it accordingly. He has lots of
shoes, boots, etc, expressly designed
for Christmas weather and seasonable
holiday gifts.
Christmas without clothes to match
the good footwear we have been writ
