NEXT WEEK IS CHRISTMAS
For the sake -of those who have stood behind the counter from

T hope there isn't a ten left in all of your stores -1 hope ev-
xyy 'boy and girl will find their stockings full to I'vreflowing—that
yuu will see to it that every ben and girl docs have a Christmas.
May everybody in 1 'ingham be happy, and merry this Christ-
mas, and when the fancily circle gathers 'round the dinner table, may
every ''heart be glad,
No doubt there will be those with yin tliis year who haven't
been bark to the old honcc town for months and months—perhaps
years. 'There may be, too, those anu,lig yuu Alio never have been

"Sell" them, yes; but do 001 ovrrflo it. Avoid dangerous sup-
erlatives. Remember there is no such thing as a "best" town. When
a town is worst, it's bound to become better, but the community that
is best could be no better, and there is nir habitat that could not. be
improved upon.
Again, I say, may WiUR'ham ,have. a most jovfnl Christmas
