 ANTHONY ADAMS.
 In no branch does the artistic pre- dominate more than in the manufac- ture of china and glassware, This can be demonstrated by visit to the roomy store of Anthony Adams. One of the most striking recent produc- tions is the Royal Vienna ware, and the vases, trays, plates, cups and sau. cers shown in this leave nothing to
 
 The Tiffany glass combines richness in coloring with tastiness of design, and is very popaiar A 5tr-isrmas selection from either Royal Vienna or Tiffany would be bound to please the recipient. There are many pretty things in French and German china, and the price varies to suit the purse.

 GARY BROS.
 Charles B. Gary, the senior part ner of the firm of Gary Bros, says there is such a thing as a hairless dog, but he maintains that they are extremely rare, There are no doubt people who do not burn coal, but the scarcity is almost as marked as dogs without said hirsute adornment. If there is anybody in Stafford who is
  much as they would if circumstances were different, the present season is very appropriate time to send round ton. The warm Christmas spirit which can radiate from a ton of coal is remarkable. Gary Bros. will give the same careful attention to orders designed for Christmas gifts that they give to tue ordinary, every day or ders. For those who from necessity or chance need a rig for Christmas day, Gary Bros. have two large sta bles from which to meet your require ments.
 W. G. ELLIS.
 Relative to the big little store, it must be said that things are too live ly there to get much material for a write-up. The attractive advertising put out from week to week for this store keeps the public so we'll in- formed of what is going on that an exhaustive write-up is not necessary. Spiced with wit, built on founda- tion of logical statement, these ads are attracting considerable attention. The line of domestic and imported cheese carried here is so complete that out-of- town buyers with larger mar ket facilities are attracted by it. Dur ing the orange season the best fruit can be found here ill large quantities. The quantities bought insure the price. Aunt Mary's bread is steadily gaining new friends, and Drake's pound cake is an article that cannot be duplicated. Three wagons on the jump insure prompt delivery.
 A. 0. EATON.
 At the Eaton drug store will be found line of perfumes as complete as they have ever shown, which is saying something. Wright's, con- sidered the best in America, can be found here by the ounce or otherwise. An elegant line of chocolates in baskets and boxes-Kibbe' Lowneys and Greens. All the standard rub Der goods and toilet articles found in frst.cl drug store are here.
