year. Clubs of five persons at omi post of
fice can get them for 4(10,00 II ordered nt
011c time. This Is n very liberal oiler, and
Is made for the purpose of extending our
circulation and not because there is any
money In It.
We do not believe in the thiomo busi
ness. All the county newspapers nre pub.
llshed nt rnttis so low that the margin of
profit Is very small, and unless all subscri
bcrs pay up, tho loss is nearly equal to the
profits. Wc consider that our readers get
the full worth of their monoy out of this
paper at 1.50 a year, and wc cannot af
ford to give every subscriber a gold watch
or a piano, nt that price. But we will do
this s Every subscriber who will pay up
nil arrearages and one year in advance will
receive for one year, Good Cheer, a monthly
paper devoted to the interests of home and
family, nnd containing much valuable
reading matter. A sample copy can be

We arc obliged to decline to publish a

ten up in stereotyped form, commencing
with "Whereas it hits pleased an all-wise
Providence to remove from our midst,"
Ac., nnd winding up with a command that
they be published in the county papers
gratuitously. Newspapers nre always
willing to publish death notices under the
proper head, without charge, but to ask
them to give u quarter column or more to
the same set of resolutions, every time a
member of a secret society or a Sunday

tho privilege of entertaining Invited guests,
while it Ulalne was elected It should full to
Mr. E. C. Caswell. Of course the lot fell
to Mr. Btavcr, unit he gavo a grand Clevo
land oyster supper, A number ot Repub
licans were there, nnd some remarked
thnt they enjoyed tho lino Cleveland oys
ters, hut thought they were elegantly pre
pared by a Republlcnu cook. Upon In
quiry wc learned that It was not a Repub
lican cook. So wo must conclude that
they were lino Cleveland oysleis prepared
by an excellent Cleveland took. A very
pleasant evening wan spent, and the Re
publicans consoled themselves by encour
nglng Mr. Caswell to renew his agreement
for the next Governor's election, nnd they

For n fortnight wc have
lived in holiday air, seen holi
day sights, and felt the in
spiration of the holiday spirit.
The store began to put on a
holiday appearance as soon
as the gift-goods came.
A part of the store has
conic to be known as the
gift-quarter, because of the
glitter of gifts there for
several weeks before the
giving-time ! It is full of the
light of silver and gold and
brass and bronze and spelter
and glass, made even more
brilliant with leather and
plush and wood.
Gifts at Christmas by no
means stop at these gorgeous
things. If you look beneath
the surface, even under the
glitter of Paris, Herlin, and
Vienna bric-iVbrac, you will
see provision for a far more
serious giving.
"Look at the silk and dress
goods quarter, which puts a
double girdle almost around
the store. It is larger and
fuller of things and people.
Multitudes satisfy the giving
propensity with the stuff for
a dress.
Look at uphoh'.tery. The
giving-time suggests new
curtains, cover for lounge,
lounge itself, or whatever
may be wanting at home.
The southeast corner is full
of people; and never were
the stuffs of upholstery so
abundant.
Look at laces. This dainty
merchandise of little weight
and bulk is commonly kept
in a pleasant out-of-the-way
corner. A little room is
enough. But so many peo
ple are here ; and people
must have room. Those
rows of people southwest of
the centre, a hundred at once,
are looking at laces. Gifts
of laces arc rather rare, per
haps ; but a million or two of
people are coming. All that
room is needed.
Look at linens, handker
chiefs, blankets, things to
make the bed pretty as well
as warm, down quilts, and
quilts not down. That whole
southwest corner is rich in
more than merchandise; it is
rich in rare honesty of linen.
No cotton for linen there.
How many handkerchief
stocks in all America do you
think, are free of cotton ?
How many in all the world
so rich in linen ? One would
think there had been a famine
of handkerchiefs. Only
Christm.i. . cuinmg; and
people know that where a
quarter goes furthest an
eagle is safest. Skip blankets
if you like ; but not those
quilted and tufted quilts of
chintz, sateen or silk and
down. Winter is coming as
well as Christmas. Under
that imponderable down
what lightsome dreams may
lift the burden off the com
fortable sleeper!
U we mention glass and
china, think you only of what
enriches the snowy linen of
the table? Walk a mile or
two about those islands of
beauty in the northwest cor
ner yonder, above and below.
If a gift must be useless, here
are plenty. If useful, plenty.
If rich and beautiful beyond
your thinking of use, what
better than clay ?
A book is the kindest of
gifts. It pleases, enriches,
praises; all over its innocent
pages are signs of feeling too
subtle for written or even
spoken words. Are you
thinking of gift-books ? W e
are thinking of history, poetry
romance, philosophy; the
solidest, truest, wisest, deep
est, loftiest signs of human
worth. Do you see the ta
bles and shelves and roof
above the shelves overfull
and straining under the
weight of books ? It is paper
and binding that bends the
boards. Not all book-gifts
arc weighted with kindly
meaning. A gift of a book
is the richest or poorest of
gifts according to the read
ing between the lines. A
book that is chosen only for
Christmas is empty.
Shall we turn to carpets
and rugs, and tell of Christ
mas preparations.
Shall we tell of that piece
of furniture the place for
which you are thinking of?
Of gloves ? of snug and
cheery hose ? of shoes ? of
overcoat ? of wrapper ? of
dolman ? of sealskin , beaver,
and lynx? Men do not know
what is good for them. Do
women ?
Wherever wc turn, the
gifts that bear most of the
giving spirit are gifts of use;
they may be even gifts of
homely humble use. They
are meaningless gifts that are
nothing but gifts.
The store is full of mer
chandise. It is your giving
spirit that is to make it shine
with the kindly light.
