Christmas Greeting
to You
One and All.

We take it for granted that your
hearts are in the right place this year,
Just as they always have been in the
past, and that you feel the same gener-
GUS desire to remember those you love
with appropriate and desirable Christ
mas gifts this season, as heretofore.
We know that in nearly every individ-
ual instance there is one obstacle that
seems to bar the way to gift making,
and that is the scarcity of money. The
times of late have been undenlaoly
hard, and few, if any, have escaped the
i'll effects of this unfortunate condl-
ton, therefore, the situation with you
is like this: You feel the same old de.
sire to make your relatives and friends
appropriate gifts; the feeling is just as
strong as ever, but the means at your
command seem to fall short of the
needs of the occasion. That is why we
wish to make our Holiday Announce
ment, this year, particularly q talk to
your pocket books.
We are going to be the peoples San
ia Claus, this season, just as far as the
ineXorable laws of business will per-
nit, by selling you Christmas gifts of
all kinds at the lowest scale of prices
kno wn to the trade. We are going to
make your money far-reaching and
profitable in the exchange for Christ
mas gifts. What though your dollars
are few-we will make them go farther
than every before. We want you to
come in and see how little it takes to
secure suitable and appropriate gifts
for those you desire to remember.
For weeks past we have labored in
dustriously to prepare for the Holiday
Trade, and our store is now fairly
shining with a beautiful array of
Christmas Gifts. We are strong in the
belief that every Holiday shopper who
visits our store will be sure to find ir-
resistible attractions among our great
variety of pretty and appropriate gifts.
Special pains and much careful consid-
Grafton was expended to make the col
lection of Christmas Goods one which
should include something really desir-
able for every individual, from the
Youngest to the Oldest. We have made
it point to have great variety in goods
of all prices, ranging from the merest
tritie upwards, in order that you may
make good selections at any price you
may feel able to pay Having thus
smoothed the way for all classes of
buyers by grading and asserting our
stock in such a way as to meet the
needs of those who have little as well
as those who have much to spend, and
having marked all our goods at the
lowest possible figures, we feel that
we deserve your patronage.
Hoping TO see every reader at our
store at an early day, we remain,
Very truly yours,
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-12-08

WESTBROOK.

Thanksgiving passed very quietly in this
city There were fewer people from away
home to spend the day than usual. The
streets were practically deserted in the af-
ternoon. Those who were not gathered III
their homes went to Deering to witness the
football game. The reading by Miss DIcCobb
at Cumberland hall in the evenings was
largely attended Good order prevailed
throughout the day and evening and no
| arrests were made.
The proposed new order Of things in the
police department is being much discussed
majority who we hear expressing them
selves are of the opinion that as things
stand today, the proposed change will more
fully meet the needs of the city.
Mr. John Henderson of Fall River, Mass,
spent Thanksgiving with his parents in
this city.
An unknown horse hitched to an open
wagon, was seen yesterday afternoon, run
ming at the top of his speed down Spring
street and then down Main, he disappeared
en- route for Deering.
Mr.. Patrick Donnelly of the Westbrook
Chronicle spent the day yesterday with his

BOLD BURGLARY.
Safe Blown Wed nesday Night at Foot
of WilmOt St.
Bruins & Johnson's Coal Office Entered
Not Much Booty Secured.

Some time late Wednesday night or early
Thursday morning, daring burglary was
committed at the foot of Middle street,
where the coal and wood office of Bruins g.
johnson was entered, and the safe blown.
The job was evidently the work of pro-
fessionals
They blew the safe door to pieces and that
they did not get more plumber was due to
the factathat the firm had not trusted much
money to the safe. The burglars were IN
disturbed, and did very thorough job. All
they left behind them were two pieces of
broken drills, one the end of small gimlet,
and the other the end of drill about an
inch in diameter.
Inc explosion seems to have been heard
by those living in tho neighborhood; but
1t was thought that a wood pile had fallen
down.
Some papers, which may be of value,
were taken from the safe, but no money of
any account
The safe was new burglar proof York
| safe, weighing $500 pounds, purchased about
| month ago.
The burglars drilled three holes just below
the handle by which the doors are opened
and in these holes three charges of powder
had been placed.
The explosion forced the doors open but
the burglars were not to be rewarded by a
big haul as the most of the money and val
liable papers were in the upper part of the
safe in vault made of chrome steel and
iron.
In small drawer in the lower part of the
safe however, we've II dollars in bills, and
six dollars in change. This drawer was
forced open and the thieves secured the
plumber therein.
The force of the explosi on had sprung the
outer door of the safe OPEN against the tel
ephone and portion of that instrument
was demolished.
Mr. johnson as soon as he discovered the
havoc done by the burglars Immediately
notified the police and they are now at
work on the case.
A quantity Of powder. was found on shelf
near the office desk
There is no definite clue as to who were
the burglars but people living in the vicinity
OF the coal office say that they saw suspic-
lous characters lowering around that COM
munity during the day.
In the plumber taken from the safe was a
bank book with a balance of 80. 90 on it.
There were also taken three checks: one on
the Casco National Bank, numbered 1Oi2,
for small amount, drawn in favor of Bruins
johnson and signed by Fred L. Merrill :;
check No. 1886, on the National Traders
Bank drawn by Hawkes. Bros for 1885; in
favor of Albert Sayward, and by him en-
dorsed over to Bruins g. Johnson land third
of which the description is not given.
