If Mr Killeen decides to invest bis entire capital in this city PhOeniT will have smother big store, for it is likely his success in other lines would follow him to the business in which he has just embarked.
 THE FAIR DECEMBER 25-Just why it should be so does not appear, but the fact is in evidence that every day a rumor is placed in circulation that after all the fair is not to be postponed, or if so, only for a week Every day the question is asked by dozens, 'Is it really so that the fair is postponed to Christmas?" What in- terest can be served by starting suca stories nobody can conceive, and they are surely not funny. The fair com mission as soon as it made any state ment at all postponed the event until December 25 to 30, and has since done nothing to indicate the slightest idea of any other dates. All the papers have announced the correct postpone ment, letters and telegrams have been sent. and the fair will positively be held on and after Christmas day. Any contrary reports should be disregarded as they are false, even if not mali cious.
