The holiday trade since Monday has been carried on with a rush that ha3 not been witnessed In several seasons in Carbondale, and shows that a. new era of prosperity has been ushered in since the settling of tho coal strike. Last year thp street car strike mili tated against a good season, but this year there wtre no obstacles to speak of. The opening of holiday trade this year was somewhat backward, but commencing Monday of tills week, It has been brisk enough. At the post office the receipts were exceedingly light, the lightest In years, until Mon day. Then theie wus a rush of Chiist mas gifts, destined to friends abioad, that fairly carried the clerks oil' their fset. On that day the receipts were tho hlgheit of any day In at least six yeais. There has since been a daily increase. The Increased business of tho express companies is additional evidence of the .free spending of money for Christmas gifts. The managcis of tho companies which have agencies here say that this holiday season will be the biggest in their experience in Carbondale. Tho employes, though there is additional help, are worked nigh to exhaustion, and expect little or no relief before the beginning of next week. Among merchants there Is a feeling of satisfaction and gratification that is refreshing ns compared with the past several Christmas seasons. Tho ctowd ed streets and stores are evidence that theie is a good deal of money being set free. "All's well that ends well," so even after tho trying times of the past six months everybody has reason to be prateful. A REPORT FRIDAY. Bacteriologist Pitfleld Sends Word to the Board of Health.
