Mr.. H. C.. Strauss is constantly
hearing expressions Of qualification at
the fact that he proposes to establish
a millinery department. There is a
widespread recognition of the necessity
for such a department in connection
with his business.
The York Drug Store tells an inter-
esting story today Of Christmas and
other goods that are to be seen in it's
shelves. They have collected together
many pretty and useful articles that
buyers:
4Cdptain w. B. Moore. has initiated
a movement for the purchase Of the
baseball park for the use Of the town.
He reasons very wisely that the people
should secure to themselves some such

this is the best in sight. The present
situation Is such that unless something
is done soon, the opportunity will be
lost Something should be done with
out delay. The question as to whether
1t is best for the municipality to ac-
quire the property, or it should be ac-
quired by a corporation, to be organ
ized for the purpose is still under con-
sideration. But Yorkville certainly
needs such a recreation and pleasure
ground as this and the need is growing
stronger every year.
An interesting feature Of the Christ
mas trade in Yorkville Is the carpet
and art square display to be seen at the
store Of Messrs. w. B. Moore & Co.
This firm, some months ago, took the
agency Of the Gaffney Carpet Manufac-
turing company for this section, and
has since been offering ususual attrac-
tions in carpets and art squares.
Things in this line that used to be con-
sidered luxuries, have, through reduc-
ed prices, come within the range Of
ordinary comforts, and Messrs Moore
& Co., have done much to bring this
about. Their display is we'll worth a
careful examination, and shoppers who
neglect to make this examination, lose
an opportunity to secure valuable in
formation that can be had without ex-
pense.
A lady of Yorkville, who takes a
practical, common sense view Of mat
ters relating to business, and who has
good judgment as to the fitness Of
things, has been interesting herself
somewhat in the idea of providing for
lady shoppers form the country, conf
Portable waiting room that they can
make general headquarters while not
otherwise engaged. The movement has
not progressed beyond suggestions to
number of business men who seem to
consider the matter favorably. The
proposition contemplates the provision
of a room at some convenient central
location. The room should be furnish
ed as literally as the means which
may become available will allow, and
it will not be too much to provide a
janitress to look after it. The whole
idea Is good from any view that may
be taken of it, and it ought not to be
allowed to fall through.
