V? <4 We wish you all a Very Merry Christmas fcX:/* A few Christmas Gift Selections I heard the bells of Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men! And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men! Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, A ch'ant sublime Of peace on earth, good will to men! —-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow HgMlW For Ladies and Girls—Hand kerchiefs, Neck-Scarfs, Sweat ers, Silk Underwear, Night Gowns, Pyjamas, Hosiery, Bathrobes, Hand-Bags, Fancy Linens, Parasols, Slippers, Fancy Towel Sets, Blankets, Coats, Dresses, Etc.

The youth of Exeter should exercise a great deal or care while on the roads with their bicycles, sleighs and skates. -Owing to the slippery condition of the roads there is more or less danger. One lad fell from nis bicycle Tuesday afternoon right u: the path of a large .auto and he escaped serious injury and possible death only by inches. The prompt action of the driver in swerving the car saved the lad. Using the highway at -the river for a toboggan slide is also a very dangerous prac tice.
