We also feel grateful to know the Baldwin street car tracks can be torn up if. the company does not lay the tracks as far as they promised when the street was given to them. But as for our own Thanksgiving, we feel more than thankful thatawe've had the pleasure of knowing that all our pa irons feel grateful to us for the hlgn- grade, ice-tasting Tea at low price which we have been selling. They also know we sell nice, fresh-roasted CoHee, and that it's not only healthful, but IS a fine bracer in the morning.

OF Emma Abbott. She was a most admirable

her character was nobler. Her heart went

mention of some ones misfortune. In the
