THB Saturday Evening Mail for tbe coming year would be a moat acceptable holiday gift.
A GENEROUS heart and an empty pocket-book have made many a man sigh tho past woek.
TBIS Ninety-Nine Cent store waa closed the morning after Christmas, by tbe Sheriff, at tho instance of Mr. Sampson, tbe retiring partner. An assignee has beon appointed and the store will be opened on Monday morning. Mr. Edward W. Ross has been appointed to manage the sale in closing out tbe stock. _______
FOR several weeks past tbe circulation of The Mail has increased so rapidly and unexpectedly that we bave found it difficult to gauge tbe supply to tbe do maud. Last Saturday the edition waa exhausted long before the newsboys were supplied. Not a copy was to be had at any of the nows stands In the evening, and many regular patrons bsd to go without their ftivorite paper. This week we have aimed to print enough to supply the demand, and hope that in tbe future nouo will miss getting The Mail. ..
Ws haven't any instance to record this year of our manufacturers making gifts of poultry to their employes, for Christmas dinners. There may have been some cases that have not oome to oar knowledge. Employers, with large forces of wen would do well to think of this with cach rsturnlng Christmas. A nice fat turkey presented by employer or employe as an expression of good feeling is appreciated far above its actual cost and long after the bones of the fowl have been cleanly picked Us ghost returns to the eater to pleasantly remind him of a kindly action unselfishly done and encourage in him a friendly care for bis employer's Interests. A Christmas turkey may be made to bring to tbe donor its original cost ten times over In tbo course of the year. t* fvt, /t
THE action of the City Council at the last meeting, in awarding the publication of the Treasurer's advertisement of sale of lots delinquent for taxes, was hasty, and we learn will be reconsidered at the next meeting. The publication at tho customary rates will amount to some two or three hundred dollars, as we understand the list is quite large this year. This is a large sum, and as it is taxed up to tbe unfortunate propertybolder, in most cases unable to pay the taxes already on the book, the members of the City Council should see that the publication costs as littlo as possible. Heretofore the list has been small and the Treasurer has been allowed to pub lisb it where ho chose. If the Council proposes to take It out of his hands, then Councilman Harris' resolution to give it to tbe lowest bidder should have been adopted. Gentlemen, it won't do to show newspaper favoritism at the expense of the unfortunate and overburdened tax payer.
BOOTS FOR THE BOYS. At this holiday season hundreds of small boys in this municipality bave received thoir first pair of boots. Tbis boot period is an important era in tbe lifo of a boy, for it is tbo dividing liue betweeu babyhood and boyhood. You that have passed tho era, do you not remember that before boots you were tramped upou by comrades, and stuck with pins, nnd slipped along with an apology for tho fact that you were born at all. Bobust school fellows would strike you across tho cheek, and when you turned to them tbey would ask, who are you looking at?" or what was worse than any other insult, somebodj would chuck you under the chin and call you "bub." Before the crisis of boots the boy seldom carries haudker chief. This keeps him in a constant state of humiliation. Whatever crisis may oomo in tho boj's history—no handkerchief is his keenest annoyanoe. But at last the age of boots dawns upon a boy. Look out now how you call him bub." He carefully parts his hair on one side, has the end of his handkercheif sticking out of h}s side pocket, as if it were recently arranged so, has a manly mode of expectoration, and walks down the street with long strides, as much as to nay: "Clear tbe track for my new boots."
