Our holiday Number.
This week's PRESS consists of twenty
pages, in order to accommodate our !
advertising patronage and not to crowd
out our reading matter. Our mer
chants are rapidly forging to the front
as liberal and energetic advertisers,
and fully realize that to efficient
advertising in these days of competi
tion, must depend the success, in a
measure, of the prosperous merchant.
Emporium is rapidly attracting the ;
trade of the surrounding towns and
neighboring counties and those com
ing here make no mistake. The PRESS
will keep up with the procession and
in order to serve our patrons faithfully
shall deem it 110 hardship to labor
early and late to serve them. To
publish a paper the size of this journal
requires a great amount of labor and
110 small expense and if our patrons
appreciate our labors we are satisfied.
Wishing our patrons and friends a
Merry Christinas and Happy New
Year we bid you all adieu until 1900.

A Bdicltim CliriHtmiiM Ll'uelul.
The children of Belgium have a 1
charming Christmas legend about San
ta Claus' pony. They always place j
their woolen sabots 011 the window
ledge, stuffed full of oats, hay aud
fodder for the "dear Christmas pony."
In the early morning they run on tip- 1
toe to look, and, behold, the hay is all j
gone, and the shoes are brimming over i
with toys and sweatmeats! Then the
children clap their hands with glee 1
and wish they could only have waked !
In time to see the pony munching his |
oats. That would have been such fun!

There comes bac-k the long ago.

To the bygone dreams of boyhood

But wo never not a peep.

Filled by Santa Claus of Maine.
Oh, the joys and toys of Christmas
In that home of olden time!
By the tfreat log fires a-glowing

Reunited once again;
Oh, the turkey, pies and puddings
Served oa Christmas up in Maine!
