SANTA CLAUS COMES TO TOWN
And Fills the Many Big Stores With Fine Christmas PresenThe
Peoples Venerable Friend Leaves Word For Everyone
to Get Them and be Happy.

grauQs 1ley meant the na&nluCent
stock of Christmas goods aud we
agreed with them as we Sauntered
through the big store and beheld the
long counters full ot holiday goods,
such as French China dinner sets,
holiday umbrellas, handkerchiefS, toys
aud dolls, baskets, novelties, books.
Bibles, in fact everything one could
imagine. Merry Christmas in full
blast. 1t was grand and glorious
event, every one seemed as happy as
lark.
In his whirl around the town the
man OF snowy white whiSkerS came to
a sudden halt, when he reached the
Clancy corner and remarked TO him
self, why, there is my friend 7. j,
Clancy who has all the best people on
hlSstring. They like the good things
OF earth for Christmas. i will Just
leave his grocery store full OF my rich
est and finest goods. Here goes.
We entered and was gone until his
Swiftest Of all steeds grew quite Inn
patient but he was doing a noble
work and when he quit the place he
was himself even amazed at the
wonderful effects Of his stay there.
The old man had on his rough and
tumble clothes but he dresses up on
occasions and Christmas is a time
when he .prides himself on natty
suit. He has an ambition to be one
Of the boys that day and gleefully aud
proudly beholdS the men OF earth at
Tired in clothes which fit. Tailor
made clothes are what everyone should
wear he thinks and that is one reason
he made call ut his friend John w
Pafker'S at l06 SOuthThird street.
L. Y. CarskadonS grocery, corner of
Chestnut and Pike streets, was the
next place visited. Mr.. Carskadon is
hustler from HuStlerSville but not
too much so for the man who makes
the rounds OF the world in single
night. Il. V. is a man after his own
heart and that is tile reason he APP
peared to dumpeverythirg he had into
MS store. He knew that CarSkadOn
would get IL all out among the people.
Why, he simply left fresh and clean
groceries, fruits, NUS, confecttonerleS,
country produce and fresh vegetables.
Through hustle, honesty, pr0mptnesS
and fair treatment to all, he enjoys a
large trade. Telephone him your
order every morning.
AT Ogden'S we notice the holiday
display beSpeaks that the glad season
is near. On entering the door the
visitor is greeted with the beautiful
decorations that reach from each side
Of the room over head, lovely sheer
draperieS covered with holly leaves
and flowers and shaded in soft c0lOrS.
The decorations were designed by Mr..
Z. 5. BoggeSS. AS we pass on we
notice cases OF lovely linen handker-
chiefs, shelves Of beautiful books,
tables full OF useful and instructive
games, piles of dolls, and rack after
rack Of gloves, knit goods, pillow tops,
towels, tray and lunch cloths and
number OF other articles that make
good and Useful presents. We pass up
stairs and behold the largest line OF
fur garments ever displayed In town.
The fatherly fellow left candles,
nuts, fruits and many other daintleS
at Ed. kune's news stand on Third
street, opposite the p. o., for the
children, beaux and bellies. The older
people were remembered with full
supply OF Christmas magazines. Ed.
is familiar with Santa and he provided
treating you right.
