y The Christmas dinner at Hotel
Webster was a master piece of the culi-
nary art. The menu cards were very
attractive-a neat folder in gold, red,
green and black with the words "a Merry
Christmas" embossed above a beautifully
decorated Christmas tree in a wreath of
Holly, and the face of old Santa smiling
down on a lot of little folks. 1t was
one OF the most appropriate, neat and
tasty folders we have ever seen. The
menu itself was perfect. The dinner
was well prepared and served in a man
ner to suit the most f~astidious. Mr..
Mathews is an ideal host and deserving
of a good deal of credit. No time nor
expense was spared that this dinner
might be one of the finest ever served i'll
Webster, and it certainly was.
1t was a very quiet Christmas in this
city but was very generally enjoyed
nevertheless. There were no public
gatherings. The day was observed in
the good old-fashioned way, by family
reunions, Christmas trees, and exercises
of a private nature, which, i'll our opin-
ion, the little folks enjoyed much bet
ter than they would have the public cell
ebrations. They We're at home with
their own folks and could give their
feeling full sway.
Y We notice a tendency on the part of
some to leave their horses out ON the
street these cold days without any pro-
lection whatever. One young man had
a chance to walk home Tuesday night
as a reward for his neglect of his horse,
thanks to of the fair sex. Hope he
will remember his lesson and profit by
it.-Bristol Tribune.
The merchants of this city have been
doing a wonderful business the last few
days. In the furniture line Benjamin
& Foster are the leaders. They carry
the largest stock in this part of the state
and after looking over their line and
seeing their prices it is indeed hard to
resist the temptation to buy.

" There is a case of smallpox in the
south west part of this county, two and
a half miles west of Lily, but it is being
carefully looked after by the county
board of health and DIR. Harris thesuper-
intendent says, in his Judgment, there is
no danger of the disease spreading from
this source.
