G THE SCRAXTON T1U15UXE TUESDAY MORNING,. DECEMBER 18, 1894. PEACE ON EARTH TO MEN OF GOOD WILL" L x 'mm'- fit A H - 1 It! To the Greeting: iHf .mHoics ox &crini ton Si 2? :0 0 Pi That peace which is won by good will and affection is God-given and lasting. It is the peace of the home, of he -friends the peace that brings God's blessings upon those who have won it. It is for such peace we rejoice at this season of the year. The hand that rules the babe is the hand that commands the peace of nations. It is fitting and customary for the victors to annually show their gratitude for the peace that is given us. The Christmas tree that the wise and prudent wife . 0 will decorate is the man who honors and protects her. Anything that is spent in clothing or dressing him is a profitable in vestment, and one that he will appreciate more than anything else a wife can give. And mothers, how much better you will enjoy the gladsome season if you put on your son something that will keep away winter's blasts, and at the same time make him as neat and handsome as the other young men of the town. Money invested in clothing is money wisely spent.
