MILIUN NEWS.

Since writing our communication of last
week. the appearance of the mercantile po.-
tion ofourtown, has put on attractions galore.
When the CHRONICLE arrived on Friday
last. and we were informed that all commu-
nications for next week must be in by Mon
dav. we set ourselves at work to size up the
situation. Naturally, we went to Welch's
pbarmacy first He was busy putting his
recent invoice in an attractive position. AS
we went from the store, we were attracted
nv a beautiful design on one of the front win
dows. 1t represents winter in one of the
New England States. The trees with bare
arms outstretched are covered with snow,
and the merry sleigh riders are having IA
happv time. The little ones are covered with
heecv white and one can almost hear their
merry laughs as they jump out of a bank,
and brush the wintry element from their
clothing. The picture is pretty and very sug-
gestive. But we could not stay long to enjoy
this beauty; and on we went to the next
most attractive place-the windows of the
"Big store" Here we expected to find beauty,
and were not disappointed. The beautiful
and artistic arrangement of these windows,
uader he deft hands of their manipulators,
cannot be surpassed even in metropolitan
business lie. AlE BlNAbg Ahl5biGAoEghuE green

wreaths. combined with the display ofChrist-

two. and while the simile may not be alto.
gether pertinent, one is led to think Of one of
Bayley's stanzas on Christmas:
"Tbe mistletoe hung on the castle-hall,
The holly branch shOne on the old oak wall
Ana me barOns retainers were blitheand gay
And Keeping their Christmas holiday"
/ we leave this enchantment with regret'and
hurry around to c. H. Atkins emporium
Here. too, a picture meets our eyes, cOmbin

Of design. Every detail has been looked
after. The portly porter, the "master OF ar
rangements and professor Of odd jobs is oI
hand. and says he expects to be. There arr
