?efuextiser. LAUREN8, 8. O., DeeTlO, 18H8. Santa ClaiiH Is not to be f lightened away by the cry of hard times, lie is here with what seems to bo an unusuul supply of pretty things of every de scription. Presents for the little folks, useless presents, useful presents, costly presents and cheup presents all urc to be had. Everybody's especial fancy f can l)c gratified, everybody's purse, lurge or small can be accommodated. Beginning on the North side of tho square at the Wllkes Furniture store there are cozy chairs, elegant lounges, very suggestive of a snooze on a win tery afternoon, chairs for the children, bouutiful euscls and handsome rugs, al ways so acceptable to the mistress of a house. Moving on for a little way we come to Fleming's; Hooks are the great fea ture there. Standard books, works of modern authors, books of travel, poems, novels and tales of adventure] de lightful to the boys. Besides books those who believe strictly in giving something useful ran find, a handsome piece of dress goods if that suits their pockets best. When one goes into the Wllkes China Store it is at a hazard of never Unding one's way out again, or at least this is true, if one cares in the least for porcelain, parlor lamps, piano lamps, library lamps and everything that Is new and handsome in the way of lamps llrst meets tho eye. Then there comes a profusion of Japanese warn of ele gant dinner sets, of beautiful vases and rose jars, and last but by no means to bo forgotten exquisitely dainty iittle oat meal sets for children. At Davis, Roi>er & Co., there nro shoes without numbers, and of all de scriptions, handsome overcoats, caps without end for tho small boys. Over at Simmon's, everyone who Wishes a cloak to secure them against tho cold of the noxt two months will find something to suit them either in tho long jackets so much atTected now. or the delightfully warin and pretty circular wraps that older women gene rally prefer. At tho Cash Co. one can lind a pretty lino of shoes and a beautiful line of dross Goods. .lust how to leave them without an empty purse is a problem most women And uncommonly hard to solvo. Tho boys who are searching for something or a variety of presents (or their various girls will do well to take a look at Visanska's stock. Everything that tho soul of woman most delights in from fancy pins for the hair to dainty bonbonnlers and the ever appropriate BQuyenier spoon. But it is at Martin's and Kennedy's that Santa seems to have unloaded most of his stock. Dr. Martin's store is simply fairy land to a child ami in deed to older persons who have not put away their sympathy with childhood and Its pleasures. All that Is necessary for a Christmas tree from the tree to the tiny candles and ornaments for it can be had there. And dolls loo are to bo found of great beauty, rieh attire and marvellous accomplishments. Santa seems to have left miniature copies of his own reindeer and wagons at Kennedy's. But goodies is his speci alty. Every one who has what is sometimes called a sweet tooth will patronize him. Now since Santa has been so very generous and thoughtful of Lanrens it would seem that the only appropriate thing to do under the circumstance is for the people to show their gratitude by buying these miltifurious and beau tiful things which he has so kindly left in our town.
