CHRISTMAS WITH
THE MERCHANTS
Holiday Shoppers Find Santa Claus
Headquarters in Many Stores
in Lady s mith

Ladysmith merchants anticipated the
wants of Christmastime several months
ago and now have OH display a great
variety of goods suitable for Christmas
gifts. 1t is noticeable that the stock
of "trinkets' is not so large as form
erly, but there are a great number of
useful and desirable articles offered.
Most of our merchants are inviting
your patronage through the columns
of the ews-Budget. These men ap-
preciate your trade enough to ask for
it and you can depend upon the quality
of their offerings and also that the
prices are right.
Extra clerks have been employed in
some of the stores so as not to keep
customers waiting. There appears to
be growing tendency to do Christmar
shopping early, and already the dis
plays in the store windows are not so
attractive as week ago, many of the
articles being sold.
Nearly every train brings out-of-
town shoppers, who realize that Lady
smith is good place to trade.

Robert Corbett is circulating pc
tition, which is being largely signed,
requesting the Department of Justice
to quash the indictments against his
son John A. Corbett, together with G..
E. Newman and L. E. McGill. charged
with making false report to the
Comptroller of the Currency while they
were officers of the defunct First Nat
ional bank of this city. AS nearly five
years have elapsed since the offence is
alleged to have been committed, it
seems possible that the petition may be
granted.

HELF WIN PRIZE

|
AT Christmas play, and make good cheer.
| For Christmas comes but once year.
That is the spirit we like to think IS
everywhere in the land at this season,
but,
Nor love, nor honor, wealth power.
| Can give the heart cheerful hour.
| When health is lost.
| The ravage of one disease, tubercu-
losis, in the United States is appalling.
Yet medical men tell us the great white
plague could be stamped out in ten
years, if we would all lend hand. 1t
will be done by education.
In Wisconsin the Anti-tuberculosis
Association sends from town to town
tuberculosis exhibit accompanied by
specialists who instruct the people how
to prevent the spread of the disease.
To meet the expense of this education
al work, the Wisconsin Christmas stamp
is being sold this year for penny.
There is a secondary reason why we
should buy these stamps now. An aero
vacuum cleaning system valued at $3.50
will be given to the city selling the
most stamps in proportion to its 1905
census. This system will be installed
by the manufacturers in public school
building.
The Woman's Study Club has under
taken part of the work here, expect
ing the hearty cooperation of the busi-
ness men. In order to have any chance
at all of winning the prize, we must
sell 100 stamps to each business house.
Place them on all letters sent out and
on packages delivered to customers.
Help us rid Wisconsin Of tuberculosis.
Help to win this vacuum cleaning
system for school building in our city.

Alderman Hand Buys The Oysters

After the meeting of the common
council Tuesday night Alderman Nate
Hand invited the members of the coun-
ell to lunch at his expense. 1t seems
that during the hunting season Mayor
Richards called special meeting of the
council and then forgot about in and
went hunting. The council met and
adjourned to restaurant and partook
of a luncheon, charging it to the mayor.
It looks now as if the treat would
go the rounds of the council.
