CHRISTMAS GREENS. The city's Chrismas gown of greenery is arriving in big lots these days. The main shipments of Christmas treea come In from Northern Michigan and Maine and the Southern part of Indiana early this week and evergreens of all sorts are already on the market in huge quantities. The debutante and her sister who is an old campaigner in the man-catching game may find solace in the fact that the price of mistletoe has not advanced. It may still be planted as a anare in the drawing room jungles. Some of the men who handle it say that it would really be cheap at any price and there would be no recourse from a mistletoe trust, but as yet no combination in restraint of trade has been discovered. Many hundred pounds of mistletoe are hung up In Richmond homes every Christmas and advance orders indicate the amount will be large this year. Mistletoe sells at 60 cents a pound or 5 cent a sprig, counting about twelve large sprigs to the pound. The women who string cedar stand behind tall desk like boxes, which hold the green stuff and the wire extends at the side of the top of the box forward and back. Aa the woman fastens the greenery upon the wire she keeps shoving It forward foot by foot while the green rope fall in a rough coil in front of the stands where she works. Hour after hour this is kept up, higher and higher grows the piles until a little

fastor innity M. E. Church, Lima, Ohio. The Ohio Wesleyan Glee Club drew a large audience at its entertainment on Saturday evening at the First M. E. church, and delighted the auditors with the varied program, the enthusiasms and dash, such as a lively bunch of thirty college boys can give. The closing part of the entertainment was unusually interesting, in which the boys entered into the portrayal of college life with an enthusiasm and naturalism that was highly pleasing. Many have expressed their desire to have them come again next year The Kenton Herald.

The Kind You Have Always Bought. THIS is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that has been manufactured under the supervision of Chaa. II. Fletcher for over 80 years the genuine Castoria, We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of introducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed counterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children's medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves, but the child has to rely on -tf the mother's watchfulness. y jf1fJr-f4t- . Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of itf7Z&ccAU

Sabbath school at the Second Presbyterian church, Wednesday Eve., December twentyseventh. The Libretto is by Lizzie DeArmond and the Music by I. H. Meredith. In the story of the cantata, the "cousins" wish for a new experience on Christmas Day at which the Dream -Man appears and promises them a trip to Santa's Land and sends some of his dream fairies to attend them. Under their spell they cross the Bridge of Dreams, meeting on their way two orphans, whom they pity and invite to join them. Then in succession they see many wonders. "The little Dryads" the singing 'Gingerbread Tree,' 'Santa's Light Guards.' 'Ten Little Nurses with Esquimaux babies,' Santa's Fairies and Brownies' and lastly old Santa himself.
