CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
MorrisviIe Affords Especially Good Advan-
tages-Biq Business Promised

Morrisville has several stores of which
her people should be proud at any sea-
son of the year, but we doubt if there is

so many well equipped and elegantly
trimmed stores and show windows as can
be seen on Main and Portland streets at
this season. The holiday stocks were
displayed early this year and with the
fine sleighing. all roads should lead to
