live In the same house on Cemetery

burned about noon Thursday.In some
manner her clothing was ignited rom
the crate, and being alone in the room
the flames had completely enveloped
her before help arrived.
Her screams brought outside as
sistance and the fire was extinguish-

back were so seriously burned as to
leave grave fears as to her recovery.
She is about sixty-five years OF age
and this coupled with her feeble
health makes her condition all the
more serious.
Physicians were called and admin
istered to the suffering woman, doing
all that could be done to relieve her,
and their statement is to the effect
that Mrs, Peyton's burns are Of q
very serious nature.

THE HOLIDAY SEASON
IS D[MONSTRATEDBY
COLUMBIA WINDOWS
ABUNDANCE OF GIFTS AND
GOODS THAT ARE PRACTICAL,
AND OTHERWISE. sh'
ART OF THE WINDOW DREssERs
Variety and Superiority Of Things
Shown Has Never Been ExccIled.
List Of Good Things to Eat Has Nc
Ending.

That the holiday season Is here IN
evident at every turn one makes In
the shopping district of Columbia,
and as each recurring year brings the
gift season round it is also made man
ifest that there is more of the practi-
cal in the assortment of these gifts.
The shop windows are resplendent
In the display of Christmas things
and their abundance Is only exceeded
by their usefulness and their beauty.
The catchy and becoming things to
wear in the windows of the shops
where wearables are kept were never
more attractive
And in every window in the city
and on every counter in the sfcres
there is a touch of art in every dis
play. 1t Is doubtful If there are any
better dressed windows in the large
cities than can be seen In Columbia
today. The novelty counters as wen
as the more practical of the displays
presented in the most pleasing man
ner to the eye. In fact there are win
dow dressers in Columbia who have
superior talents.
Dolls and toys for the little folks
have the same tender touch Of sentt
ment that always carries the adult
back to the days Of childhood; when
tin horn was more music than ma
rine band, and tin horse was more
to be desired than drove Of sugar
mules.
I, Each merchant In the city has
eclipsed himself in the list Of desir.
able things and the maner in which
he has displayed Them, and the reas-
enable prices that have been placed
on them. The rich, bright things
that send gladness and enthusiasm
to the heart of the child and the more
substantial that give a feeling Of com
fort to the elder members OF the fam
lily, are all to be found without effort,
and the comforts of the home that
will ender satisfaction and pleasure
all the year round are more abundant
than ever, and so priced that all may
enjoy them.
At the grocery stores and the meat
shops the proprietors have Joined the
other dealers in the city and have
made their stacks Of things to tickle
the palate and sustain the body look
like small boys dream of paradise.
At the grocery stores may be found
the usual strong line Of staple goods
with all manner of extra dainties, to-
gether with fruits of every charao-
ter, while at the butcher shops there
is revelry of ribs, backbones, hogs
heads and pigs feet, juicy tenderloins
and rich round steaks, cured hams big
and brown with the hickory smoke
that sweetened the taste ana
strengthened the flavor of the gravy.
All these give testimony to the fact
that Santa Claus has come to Column
bia and that he has not been stingy
in his distribution, adding emphasis
to the truism that life is worth more
In Maury county than any other SEQ
tion of the globe.
