But If II won't too much alter Your plan.
Fill my stock = IN place of my stocking.

Is no other city of 10000 on this con
tincrt. or any other continent for that
matter, are there to be found such
stores and business houses of all kinds
as exist in Great Falls. \ tour among
the dealers in holiday goods is a revel-
alton, because no one who has not seen
the large and elegantly assorted stocks
of goods that are carried here. can form
any notion Of their completeness and
richness. Prices also in every line are a
surprise, as they vie IN almost every de
partment with those Of eastern cities.
No wise citizen will send abroad to make
his purchases when he enjoys such ad-
vantagcs at home. The place 10 buy is
al the home stores.

The Old Cemataru-

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the MAYOR
will carry out his announced purpose of
having the old cemetery on South Broad
street made more presentable. His plan is
to employ the prisoners in the barracks in
clearing away the old tombs, taxing down
the wall and changing the place into a
pretty park by planting trees and flowers
in it In carrying out this plan he ought to
have the support Of a unanimous public
sentiment. There is no good reason why the
old cemetery should remain any longer in
its present unsightly and unsanitary con,
dition.
Several years ago the MORNING NEWS
undertook to get the city council to take
some action looking to its improvement and
the council, being backed by nearly all the
people, was on the point of making the i'm
provement suggested, but for some reason
or other it hesitated to do so. II it had done
what its judgment suggested the old ceme-
terry would now be one OF the prettiest places
in the city.
The mayor will increase his popularity
and put the public under still greater obli-
cations to him if he will change the old
cemetery into pretty little park. The inn
provement be proposes will not interfere
with any title 20 any part OF the property,
nor will it infringe on the rights Of those
who have ancestors buried there. The i'm
provement is something demanded by the
progress Of the city. Let it be made with
out unnecessary delay.
