marked one day this week. I'VE have
seventeen more weeks yet before we open.
and we feel satisfied with our progress.
The exhibition will be opened during the
first week Of May and viii remain open
for the public for six months-to be exact,
$50 days. During that time we estimate
we shall have from soooo to 6 5000 visitors
twenty-four hours. or total OF 6,OOO.OOO
during the $50 days.
Net Much Opposition.
This particular exhibition has been meet
ing with the nercest kind Of opposition ever
since it has been projected. In connection
with the financing Of the proposition 1t be-
came necessary to let the contracts for the
building to an English contractor. and
naturally this has aroused opposition from
the local contractors. OF late. however,
some Of this opposition has been dying
away. the argument being advanced that
if the exhibition does not bring discredit
upon Ireland all Of the local interests
should try to get together, bury petty In
terests for the benefit Of Industrial Ireland
and try to pull the thing through with the
failure to do this might result in Ireland
receiving a black eye. from which it would
not recover for years.. Undoubtedly 1t will
be a long time before the Quarrels engen-
dered by the exposition are settled. but the
general feeling appears to be that The time
has arrived when these little differences
ought to be settled In private and that

The question now being asked Is, Can
Dublin meet the demands of these six mil
lion?
The large dublin hotels are fully booked
for June and July. notably the Shelburne.
which has accommodations for 800. Under
the circumstances 1t can readily be seen
that Americans and other foreigners who
have not even booked their passage across
the ocean may find some difficulty in get
ting accommodated. In fact, persons con-
will do well to commence to make inquiries
right away. since accommodations four or
five months from now are likely to be at
decided premium.

A Riproaring Laughing Farce Com

isis in New York" is the title of the
Offering which comes to the Grand Thea
tire on Monday night, Dec. 9th, aud it
reveals the merry Hoosier lass in a new
role visit to the great metropolis
permits OF many chances for fun, and Sis
runs the gamut from shaking hands
with Oscar OF the Waldorf-As
mailing a souvenir post card in the fire
alarm box and nearly causing a riot, to
trying to stop the trolley cars by stand
ing on the track. She takes with her
the characters that have followed her
through her laughing adventures since
the author discovered her down in Posey
County, Indiana.
The ruralite in a great city has furnished
the funny page with most OF it's material
for the past decade, and the bewhiskered
charmer looking down cable slots and
blowing out the gas, has become a
familiar figure but the author of isis in
New York" has gotten out Of the beaten
path and instead of her dad fioundering
around the city streets we have the
philosophic Hoosier lass on her first visit
to the big city by the sea, and if we are
to believe the advance notices and the
critics along the line where the show has
been, it is one of the richest things OF the
season
Popular prices have been fixed for this
date-25, 35 and 80 cents. Reserved

Advice to Holiday Shoppers.
Statesvilie Landmark.

StatesviIie Landmark.
This is the season when the news
papers and the merchants urge Christ
mas shoppers to shop early. The
advice is good. but the great ma
jority will not heed it. The early
buyers not only favor the merchant
and the salespeople. who are rushed
to the limit n few days before the
holidays, but they favor themselves
in having more time To make their
selections and ii larger stock from
whicI, to select. But making selec-
tions of Christmas purchases is often
n problem and for the very reason
that so many people find fruifficult
to decide what to buy, they postpone.
until the last moment what they
could have done much better earlier.
The Landmark mentions this to COM
menl the early shopping idea and
also to suggest that business mel
who appeal to holiday purchasers
should not wait until the week before
Christmas to advertise holiday goods
Many business men do like the shop
pers, they wait until the last minute
to tell what fine holiday stocks they
have. They can help matters along
by beginning to talk now. which is
none too early.

Christmas Shopping.

The Christmas shopping has begun
already. There is of course not so
much of rush as will be the case
when the holiday trade will be at it's
height. However, large crowds of
ladies throng the stores daily and
business seems to be brisk with our
merchants.
A number of business houses have
placed their Christmas goods on dis
play and presents are being purchased
by the wholesale.
The recent financial stringency
does not seem to have affected the
trade to any great extent. The
crowds are just as large if not larger
than at this time last season.
All who have gifts to purchase do
not seem to be stinting themselves
and are spending their money just as
II there had been no talk of financial
stringency.
Look over our advertising columns
before you start out on your shop
ping tour and give the preference to
those enterprising, liberal dealers
who thus invite your trade.

Buy at Home.
Germantown (Pa) Independent Gazette.

Germantown (Pa) Independent Gazette.
A writer in one of our exchanges
pleads guilty to the folly of bargain
hunting for good goods, and the
civic sin of going to the big city de-
partment stores to do retail trading.
Lured by the seductive ADVERTISE
ment of a metropolitan furniture
house, he sacrificed a days wages and
spent his money to take advantage
OF supposedly great opportunity
in Brussels carpet, which was distinct
ly and with detail offered with appar-
ent good faith Arrived at the store, his
call for the advertised goods revealed
no such bargain as was promised,
and he found himself the victim OF
genteel bunco steerer, who was evil
IDENTIFY instructed to do the best he
could with innocents attracted by
the false trade announcements by
selling them something else at
higher price.
The victim in this instance is only
one of 4 great army who spend time
and money in visiting the big city
stores, only to be told that the sup
ply of certain advertised bargains
has Just been exhausted, or some
similar transparent fable.
The moral of all this is obvious.
the local merchant knows that he dare
not advertise falsely and retain the
goodwill of those whom he needs to
prosper. He is amenable to the chas-
tisement of lost trade if he goes into
the realm of the buncO steerer.
The going away from home trading
custom is a habit which brings its
own punishment. Its victims seldom
are net gamers by such transactions.

It's a Good Thing.

Always on the lookout for the best
that's going in their line, theWatkins
Hardware Company have added the
Cosby patent air-tight baker and
heater, advertised in this paper. We
predict that there will be a large
demand for this stove when it's merits
are recognized. 1t is a heating and
cooking stove combined, warming
the largest room in the house while
the busy housewife can cook or bake
anything from light rolls to ham
or Christmas turkey Being alright
it is a fuel saver while the thick cast
iron top and bottom and heavy sheet
lining give it great heating qualities.
The most convenient, useful and eco
nomical stove for the home ever made,
is the claim of the manufacturers, the
Union Stove Company, incorporated,
Richmond, Va. Nothing in the stove
line has ever been brought out that
gives such a perfect double service as
the Cosby patent alright baker and
heater, and a trial will prove their
satisfying and economic qualities.

Explanatory and Apologize.

Ordinarily we do not make apollo
gies for any short comings in the
paper. We do the best we can under
the circumstances and let it go at
that. If there are omissions and
derelictions the public will find it out
without having their attention
called to it. But owing to press of
other work this week the editor has
been unable to do the writing for the
paper, and as consequence much
important local matter is omitted
some OF which will receive attention
later. We regret this, but it can't he
helped-for lack OF time and ability
to transfer the matter from our
think-tank to paper and type.
