thing which suited their fancy better.
and abandon their first choice for the
second. OF course, Mr.. Vickery carries
a complete line Of jewelers. goods, but
his leader for the Christmas season is
china, and he has a beautiful display
of the daintiest specimens, buth in the
French and Haviland ware, and the
wisdom of his choice is proven by the
fact that these goods are selling like
hot cakes. He also has special lot
of Christmas umbrellas for ladies and
gentlemen, that are very pretty. One
of the newest things he has is a fine
line of gentlemen's rings in gypsy set
tings. Don't fail to see the handsome
solid gold watches that he offers, and
the large variety of fancy clocks.
