Today the local retail market will take
ON its Christmas dress and every shop
and stall will have it's individual and
distinctive display of the materials
that will assist in making the Christ
mas table more cheerful, and supply
ing the good things of the season to
the gormand and the epicurean.
Along the north side of First South
street. what is usually known as Mar
ket Row." the displays are of an espec-
tally fine character. The fish dealers
have laid in an extra supply and have
introduced some novelties in shell fish.
The fancy grocery stores are on their
metal and exhibit all of the specialties
that are obtainable at the season in adj
dition to their usual staples; but the
prime exhibit of the market is in meats
and poultry. One First South street
dealer will have his entire front deco
rated with turkeys, wild and domestic
geese and ducks, and plenty of grouse
and rabbits. The next notable display
is that of a Main street butcher who
has recently slaughtered some of the
prize cattle of the territory and Will
retail cuts at the usual prices from
animals that when alive took prizes
that cost more money than the carcass
ses will now bring by the pound.
