The holiday trace in this place was
good. The merchants say it was the
best ever. The business did not

monitor to trade early. At least
enough of them do early trading to
make room for late shoppers.

We had the pleasure of reading the
photographed sketch Of the life Of
David O. Perrin, kindly loaned us by
Postmistress Nevins. This sketch
was written by David while he as in

his story. The story was edited and
compiled by David's sister, Mrs. O..
~ printed in booklet form. That
Dave Perrin was a bright boy, of
