Capt. Peary Sends a Wireless to j
Harry S. Lloyd.
Captain Peary sent a message from the land of
ice and snow.
As he wanted some nice presents for his little
Eskimos;
He said these little people ne'er a Christmas had ,
enjoyed.
But he wanted them to do so, so he wired to
Harry Lloyd.
He knew that Harry'* splendid store was strictly j
up to date.
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.

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..
