found very busy indeed, but not to

mailing their Christmas number
which is indeed decided success and
of which they are pretty proud. It
not only shows the enterprise Of the
managers but also speaks louder than
words of the liberal patronage of the
business men and is in our estimation
a good example for business men iu
other towns to give the printer
chance.
