Boys , when you want to get up a hunt again , don't select Christ mas eve as the time for your sup per , as so many \vant to be at the Christmas tree and "doings" . Re member that Chiistmas comes but once a year. Let everything give place to the celebration of the birth of Christ. Two companies of hunters start ed out , last Friday morning , to de cide which side could secure the largest number of scalps of coyotes , rabbits , rats , etc. On Christmas eve they had an oyster supper at the residence of William Bymer , and the company that scored the least number of scalps paid for the oysters. A splendid time is re ported at the supper , and there was enough and to spare. The side that paid for the oysters was a lit tle dissatisfied and so the hunt comes off again todayand the dose of oysters will be repeated Satur day evening at Bymer's. A good time is anticipated , especially at the supper. It is earnestly hoped that Wes.Eozell will not lie on the sunny side of a strawstack , waiting for rabbits to come and look down the muzzle of his gun. And that "Shorty" will git a wiggle on him and try to bring in a couple of rat scalps anyway , & i csi ? S & ftii In order to reduce our large stock of * Dress LADIES'i S our already low prices.
