This is the heaviest month in the
year for the post office. The sales of
stamp, stamped paper and money

that of any other month in the year.
This is wholly due to the holiday sea-
son. 1t is also the heaviest month
for the express companies.
Any man or boy appreciates a
present of any article of wearing APP
parel, especially if it is handsome and
useful. In Seim Bros stock you will

ornamental but useful, such as silk
suspenders, silk and linen initial
handkerchiefs, mutfiers, neckties,
gloves, etc. Buy early.
The business at the freight depots
Of both railroads is very brisk at pres
ent. This is due largely to the fact
| that local merchants are getting in
stocks of goods for the holiday ana
winter trade. The bulk of the stocks
was received weeks ago, but merchants,
as rule, at this time of the year run
low on a good many articles and are
forced to duplicate orders.
Beginning the latter part of this
week and continuing all of next week,
the mail carriers will be as busy as a
dog mixed up with swarm of bees.
Each one will be a Santa Claus, laden
with packages. If there are any people
who are glad when the holiday season
has passed, it is the mail carrier, and
we don't blame him. Don't stop him
now and ask him what the weather is
going to be tomorrow.
