And if he placed his order there he would not have to wait; To keep the tlnest Christmas goods is Harry's joy and pride, Therefore the Captain did just right to buy from j Harry Lloyd. His prices are in reach of all, he knows just what [ you need, To please your dear ones, young and old, "square dealing" is his creed ; L A Merry Christmas to you all, and may you long abide, Upon this earth, in health and wealth, is the wish of HARRY LLOYD. J. E. S. Give a Donation. Editor Press While the charitable people are mak ing donations, why not make a dona-| tion for the two aged citizens living j near the east end of Emporium, Mr. i and Mrs. Charles Brock, who have j been customers of the Emporium mer- i chacts for many years, with the small | sum of $36 00 every three months. We read in our weekly papers, the com- 1 plaints that the people send to Chica- j go and elsewhere for goods, and do ; not patronize home merchants. No doubt there are some who do that to j make their money reach their needs j and wants, but those old people have put the greater part of their earnings i for years in the merchants' stores, audi they deserve a donation once in.a | while. The writer has been to their ! home and learned of their financial | condition, but before the three months j have elaps ed their little §36.00 income is consumed. Charitable friends, give this old couple a liberal donation and it will help them through the next three months of cold winter, and they will appreciate it very much. What ever you give to them in Jesus' name yon give to Him, and you will be re warded for it, for they are God's child ren Who is the giver of all good gifts and the Provider for all. A Friend. DEATH'S DOINGS PALMER James Patrick, infant son of Geo. j W. and Sahih A. Palmer, aged one j ' year and five days, died Monday eve- j ! ning, at the family residence, West j | Sixth street. Funeral took place yes- | | terday, Wednesday. The afflicted j i family deeply mourn the death of their j child and all of their good neighbors sympathize with them. ! Young girls usually have poor judg- J ment in selecting gifts for their sweet- j j hearts. They should cut out the collar \ j and necktie boxes and retain the love | | and respect of their swains by buying I them a fancy pipe or a Xmas package I • of cigars at Taggart's..
