Grim poverty may lurk in its squalid dens,
and there may be hundreds of unfortunates
who 90 to bed cold and hungry every night,
but this skeleton does not obtrude itself on
the happy gorgeous panorama that is pre-
sented on the streets of town on which the
business places are located. The window
displays are unparalleled in their wealth and
variety. Every taste and every purse is con-
suited. Some of them arc exceedingly novel.

by the windows of Max Schmidt, on North
Main street. II is a feast for the eyes
and close by, in the window of Wasley's
drug store is found an amusing novelty
in the form of frogs made of cotton
engaged in a game of foot ball before an
audience made up of similar figures. The
exhibit at Holdcrman's iewelry store is a
gorgeous one and at Hooks & Brown s
stationery store the display in silk, satin,
velvet celluloid, ivory, aluminium, silver
and gold is dazzling. Smokers and members
of their families will find the display at
Kalbach's and Daniel & Dodson's cigar
stores worth u careful inspection, and
at StrOuse's jewelry store it would seem
