Will the building OF the Hall rail-
road and the development Of the
northern part Of the county, new
impetus will be given to the growth
of the Union high school. Grammar
schoc students in that section will
do well to consider the advantages Of
the school and the prospect Of secur-
ing free tuition here. The Central
high school has been for years and
is now fully accredited with every
institution OF higher learning in the
state of Colorado. Our graduates can
enter any college or university in the
state without examination and with
full credit for work done here. Dur
ing the past two years the course
has been strengthened, the standard
of work has been raised. and the
Union High school stands even high
or than the old organization in the
estimation Of the higher schools. The
school is thoroughly equipped with
library and laboratories, a strong
corps of teachers has been selected
and the courses of instruction are ef
fective and up-to-date. Grammar
school students in northern Gilpin
will make no mistake in choosing
Central City for their school home
for the next four years. The new
school laws provide that each school
district outside of a Union high
school district may assist its gram
mar school graduates by paying part
of their tuition. So long as these dis
tricts are outside OF the Union dis
trict this provision may be a help to
prospective students from the north.

The store is trimmed with garlands
of red and holly decorations in
strings and wreaths. One window

and yellow birds.

much that is useful as we'll as orna-

ling lot of toilet articles, watches,
clocks and jewelry and above it all
hangs tinsel and red bells. The
other window claims the mems at
tention, having a display of mems
furnishings. While inside, man,
woman or child can find much that
the heart desires not only at this
season but at every season in the
year.
One of j. M. Taylor's windows
has lattice work of red and green
crepe paper and on holly spread
are leather goods, candy perfumes
and camera, surely something
which fits the needs of all. The

Christmas candy on top of a chin
ney. Inside the store is a riot of
red and green festoons with bells
much in evidence.

and handkerchiefs attract those
who give the more practical pres

The Ladies Department in Does
store also decorates in red and green
with tinsel scattered about. In
with the shoe and umbrella display
may be found red and green gar
lands, and in the fur window is tin
sci, with fine display of growing
plants.
Cunningham's Pharmacy is car

some Christmas toys from which it
IS easy to select an acceptable
gift.
