Basketball.

Friday night Of last week Skowhegan
high school basketball team went to
Waterville and played the Chapman Club
in Ticonic hall, the audience room OF
the fine club house maintained by the
Hollingsworth & Whitney Co. for the
benz fit of their employees. The Chapman
Club is made up of young men from the
Hollingsworth & Whitney plant and
they were very courteous in the hospital
ity which they showed the visiting
team. The Waterville team won by a
score of 2G to Il. They played a very
skilful game and were aided materially
by the fact thet the game was played in
the room where they do their practicing,
and were hence entirely at home. The
s. Ii. S. team put up a good game, not
wthstanding the fact that Ernest Green,
one Of their most reliable players. was
unable to play on account Of sprained
ankle. 4. A. Parker of SkoWhegan
acted MS referee.

respects it is one of the worst accidents
of the kind that has yet been recorded.

David S. Libby, aged TO, of Newport.
He was shot in the town of Chester,
about seven miles from Lincoln, some
time early Tuesday the 9th inst. Mr..
Libby is carpenter by trade and had

by his son, &. T. Libby, and grandson,
w A. Holbrook, alto of Newport, and
John Weatherbee of Lincoln He went
on trip alone to try his luck and did
not return His body was found We'd
nesday about mile from camp with a
bullet wound in the breast.

Holiday Merchandise.

Holiday Merchandise.
The columns of the REPORTER, set
apart for mercantile purposes, are well
filed this week, with advertisements
setting forth the attractions Of merchan-
disc in readiness for holiday purchasers.
Judging from their advertisements,
alone. we may well conclude the enter
prising merchants whose names appear
therein are well prepared with attractive
and extensive lines Of reasonable goods
to suit the tastes of unusually fastidious
customers, and casual view Of their
show windows and show cases leads us
to conclude that the descriptions given
fall short Of the reality.
Probably DO trade center in New
England of Skowhegan's dimensions,
has better stocks Of goods for Christmas
trade than has our own town and none
more attractive stores and obliging at
tendants. This combination is very
desirable one in the interest of eusto-
mers and they will not be Obliged to go
further in order to have ample oppor-
tunity for selection.
Our disinterested advice is for readers
within reasonable mercantile reach
Of Skowhegan to look carefully over the
advertisements In this paper, make
Fundamentally or with lead pencil-of
such articles as you may think desirable
to purchase and then pay a visit to
Skowhegan stores. In any event give
REPORTER advertisers opportunity to
see II they cannot please you before GO
ing further from home.
The REPORTER is a medium through
which merchants reach the purchasing
public, to make known the extent and
quality of their wares. 1t has done this
for many years and expects to for many
in the future. It's part of the contract
is performed when the advertisements
reach the eye of its thousands Of readers,
or, at most, when it induces them to en-
ter the places of business of advertisers.
Then the REPORTER, with its accustom-
ed modesty, retires to the background
aud the merchant and his urbane and
accomplished salesman or saleswOman
come to the front. II they cannot salts
fly wouldbe purchasers, and gracefully
unloose their purse strings, giving them
something for their money better for
them than the money itself, it is not the
REPORTERS fault.
One thing we must say for the traders
OF our town. They comprise body Of
substantial business men and women
that will compare favorably with those
OF any town or city of Maine Of like
commercial Importance. A large frac-
tion of them have been here many years
they are here to stay; you know what
credit to give to their statements; they
are not shortsighted enough to make
statements In print or otherwise, wide of
the fact; they must use you "white,"
they cannot afford to do otherwise if
they would; II they humbug you, you
Can get back at them directly and make
1t interesting for them, which you can
not do for the merchant 10 distant city.
Therefore, say we, give the home MIR
chant the preference. Go to his store
and let him have the first opportunity to
try the benign effect of bis blandsh-
ments upon you, but let him realize that
you know that he knows the fact, that he
Ia obliged to give you a "square deal"
1t will hurt neither party to bear this
fact In mind.
