HOLIDAY SEASON, 1901.
 HARVEY CHAPMAN.
 Speaking of show windows, Harvey Chapman has one that will hold you. for awhile, to use slang expression. It was designed and executed by George Stew ems, with electrical apparatus by A. A. Stebbins. On background of evergreen a large white cylinder revolves. On the cylinder there is a display of fancy hard. ware. Surrounding the edge of the cylin- der at regular intervals are electric lights of different colors, and as it reyolves the arrangement is such that an intermitten effect Is given to the lights, which adds much to the spectacle. Power is furnish- ed by an electric motor. The balance of the window is arranged as snow scene, with a miniature skating pond in the c ,nter. This unique window is arranged for the express purpose of calling atten. tion to the holiday season and what can be found in first-class hardware store for Christmas buyers. There is good line of sleds to be found here, and this store is also headquarters for skates. If you want 8 pocket knife for the boy (he has probably lost the one he had) there are all the different kinds to be found here. A good pair of shears or scissors or nice carving set may fill the bill. Toy tool chests with tools, toy sad iron, toy saw horses and saws are found here. Razors, razor strops, lather brushes, h. gersoll watches, thermometers are among the appropriate articles. A new line of fancy cuspadores are shown.
 A L HOWARD. -va The dry goods store of A. l.. Howard is one of the latest to be launched, but itI is rapidly forging to the front in point of excellence of assort nent, quality of mer- chandise, and careful attention to the needs of the buying public. The stock at this season Is curtailed only by the room necessary to hold it. Every nook and corner is full of seasonable merchandise. The larger proportion of the stock is sta- pie, but there is counter devoted to dolls and toys, which per tain more p srticulally to the holiday season. A speciality is made of dress Things and trimmings, and those who know say that this department Is right up-to-date. A large stock of handkerchiefs, containing special values. should be inspected. The corset depart ment is second to none. A large line of hosiery is carrird all the year round Tasty travelling bags and purses are feature. Shetland floss in all the desira- ble shades can be obtained here. Among the many other articles shown in large variety, at lowest prices, may be mention ed golf gloves and mittens, bed-quilts and blankets. mufflers and neckwear, ladies' skirts and tailor made suits, shawls and muslin underwear. The pretty things in cut work, the stock of ribbons, and the line of glove and handkerchief cases are also worthy of mention.
 W. G ELLIS. At the "old reliable'' Ellis grocery the watchword all the year round is "hustle."
 
 case of hustle little harder. At this store will be found all the staples and a variety of fancy delicacies that give the "old reli- able" an Individuality all it's own A noticeable feature is the list of cheeses carried. Not only will you find plain and sage, but there are eight or ten of the fancy varieties. The little cream cheese done mp in tin foil Is popnlar and the rich and aromatic Roquefort has it's friends Other popular blends are the genuine ina- ported Swiss, Edam's Ball Head, Eyseen's Holland cream and the American club. The canned goods put up especially for this firm are warranted to give perfect satisfaction. At this season candy is in demand and fresh new kisses, fruit frappe and the we'll known Trowbridge chocolate chips are shown in abundance. In fruit, there are cramberries, oranges, Concord, Catawba and Malaga grapes, dates, figs and apples. Fresh Saratoga chips, celery, pop corn and sweet potatoes also are found here. It is the same old story in regard to nuts-all kinds and warranted large and sound.
 N. M. WILTON.
 r Already there is brisk. business at the Whiton stationery store, and 1t is not sur prising when you realize what pretty and useful stock is carried for holiday trade. Special attention Is called to the beautiful water color paintings for those who enjoy artistic excellence. Children's books and games, as well as a line of books for the older ones, including some of the latest and most popular works, are to be procured here. A full line of cameras and photographic supplies has attractions for many. Miss Whiton not only sells cameras, but she also knows how to use them, and the pretty views of the town offered for sale bear evidence of this fact There Is something to suit every taste and purse in the following list diaries, dolls, pretty stationery in boxes, bibles, thermometers, silver pen holders, paper weights, games and ink stands. This is only partial list, and examination will be necessary for full appreciation. s
