HINTS FOR CHRISTMAS BUYERS.
Gathered From a Trip Around Town
Among our Advertisers.

Christmas buying with its mingled
pleasures and perplexities is the duty
that again confronts about every
man, woman and child. 1t should
beconsidered more a happy privilege
than a duty, and it has been our aim
to make the burden light by giving
a few hints at what you may find at
the stores of our MOrrisville advertis-
ers. Supposing for instance we start
with call at
H. P. MUNsON'S.
Now it is generally concluded that
he makes no great effort for Christ
mas, but be does have lots and lots
of warm comfortable things, good
for anyone to give to anyone else.
Some pretty crockery, some fine
shoes, some dress goods, particularly
attracted our attention. Crossing
over to
WILDERS
we found an endless array of at
tractive things that are bought with
small outlay-iuvenile books, toys,
frames, handkerchiefs, fancy glass
ware and small wares, too numerous
to enumerate, we're seen on all sides.
Prices are low, goods desirable, and
the place worthy your attention.
Going back to
COL. DOTYs EMPORIUM
and entering, one is fairly staggered
to know where to begin if he is intent
upon viewing the whole affair. The
store is full of good things from top
to bottom, souvenir china having
views of Morrisville, are goods catch
ing the eye. 1t is splendid stuff and
was made in Germany purposely for
DOty. Near by is a great array of
Limoges hand-painted china, a lot of
very handsome high grade crOckery,
engraved glassware and all that,
elegant rugs, Oak tables from rs
cents to $500, a round hundred
chairs in elegant designs, with hardly
two alike, fancy baskets, elaborate
desks, beautiful sideboards, suits,
cOnches, hall stands-why almost
every thing under the sun that could
creep into any first-class city store of
the kind. Passing by the Savings
Bank, where a little deposit to the
credit of some boy or girl would be a
nice present, and calling at
HALL & CHENEY's,
on the Corner, one is impressed with
the Nea that books have the call
tkere. A fine array of Bibles have a
rprominent place. and along with
Rthem are books for all ages, drug
| bist's fancy goods, a great line OF
lStomiz srs a wide range of price and
ariety lnt tjerfumery is to be expect
ed, while tationery, confectionery
and the N always have place. Your
Apure1ase Made, hot beef tea or cof-
N>otbe" down, and you are ready
CorS.Hsr Stores to conquer.
AR. CAMPBELL's
iewtlry store may be the next, and
it is an acknowledged fact that no
store in Lamoille county shows such
varieties in taking novelties in silver,
such cut glass, such diamonds, rings
of endless kinds, watches of gold or
silver procivities, pins beyond count,
silver ware galore, while clocks tick
and business huns. For Christmas,
or wedding, or birthday. or anniver-
sary gifts OF satisfactory quality and
pleasing assortment, Campbel's
should be visited. You will probably
find your way into
VIII. RoBINsoN's
One of these days. You can't make
mistake. His effort is to get before
the people that which is of the best
possible value and most attractive
thing for smallish money. Lots and
lots of things will be seen when once
you are inside. His great window
has attractions for all ages. High
class linens for embroidery, a great
variety of handkerchiefs for all, a
large assortment of new Christmas
novelties, celluloid and metal goods,
children's, games, books and toys,
picture frames, stationery, and all
the staple goods like clothing, caps,
gloves, neck ties, mufflers, and things
and things. He invites inspection.
WATERWAYS
store in the Randall block, is another
place where staple, sensible and USE
ful articles can be found. Particular
ly in the gents furnishing line will
the would-be purchaser find handker-
chiefs, mufflers, neckties, night shirts,
fancy dress shirts, gloves, umbrellas
and many other such articles of gen.
eral utility. Clothing and head gear,
or a nice travelling bag, always
comes in play, and there you have it
all, when you are right there.
J. f. THOMAS,
the hustling grocer, makes an extra
effort to provide a fresh and attract
i've display of Christmas candy, nuts
and fruit, all readily used during the
holiday season.
THE HARDWARE STORE
of GiIe & Churchill is not to be sup
posed grand Santa Claus head
quarters, and yet there are many
things to be seen there that are use
full and practical. The stock ol
skates for all ages affords special op-
portunity to purchase of this enter
