The goods which local merchants Sc
lected as being appropriate for holiday |
gifts are now on display. They were |
ordered i'll the fall after careful study of |
the situation and are calculated to meet |
all requirements. This fact places some
what of an obligation on people to make |
their purchases at home, for the oppor
tunity presented will save the necessity |
of spending carfare in going to the city |
stores, especially when the goods are |
here at reasonable prcies and the annoy |
ance will be avoided of pressing through |
crowds of buyers in order to make |
selections. Local merchants are using |
much space in THE News with their an |
nouncements, and as they are all relia-
BILE business men they are deserving of
your patronage.

claiming the championship of the !

play three games or one deciding game
in order to defend the title of champion.
