ents for their friends at this holiday
season, but not everyone remembers

sensible to buy something that will be
useful while about it. The fact
Is that about the most sensible thing
anyone ran buy is some handsome
piece of furniture, something that
will not only be appreciated by the
person receiving it, but also OF service
to every member of the household.
A handsome rocking chair, q neat
dresser, a handsome mirror or some
thing In this line, worth having. r w
Chandler & Co., can ft yuu out II you
will call and see their holiday display.

Rev M. D. Fly, who has filed the
Methodist pulpit In this city so ably
for the past year, goes 10 Verona for
the next year. We do not know any
of the reasons for the change, but
that Rev. Fly is one Of the cleanest
and ablest ministers in the state we do
know, and we are truly sorry to see
him sent away from OkolonR. Prob
ably he wanted to 60. He will carry
with him the kindliest wishes Of many
of our best people, and he deserves
their highest appreciation. We trust
Verona will give him q hearty well
come and treat him right. One trait
of character possessed by Rev. Fly is
always admirable In man. He Is hon
est and brave, and Il he thinks a
thing is right he Is neither afraid to
stand for it. nor to defy even the pow.
ers that be 10 his church, anywhere
from the Bishop to the oolored ianiter.
God bless him, Whatever may be bis
lot, is our parting shot.
Don't miss the opportunity Of your
life. Now lie the time and this is the
place to buy the newest and best for
Christmas. HALL & LYLEs.
