A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR Mindful of Past Accomplishments Let Us All WoTk Together for Future Results. We were always safe in saying that Murray is one of the best little towns of its size in Nebraska and doubly so since the strides of the past few years. The city has really hustled. Electric liehts. a wide awake commercial club and live citi zens are among the numerous assets the town may well boast of. It is a genuine pleasure to work with such a co-operative lot of busi ness men and citizens generally and although we have been publishing a Murray department in the Journal for a good number of years past, nev- matteri'' have our efforts met with more i encouragement or our enterprise been Season of Good Cheer! We are all feeling the prosperity that has been so graciously accorded us in this com munity where it is a real pleasure to dwell and to do business. Just now we are exceedingly grateful for the many kindnesses of friends and without which we couldn't have succeeded as we have. Please accept, therefore, our sincere thanks and wishes of a Merry Christmas and Happy New I ear to one and all.

Murray merchants and business men have always been generous in their support of our efforts to give Ihem the next best thing to a news paper of their own and such a pro ject is too expensive an undertaking: for the support .that could be had. even with the merchants spending money almost gratituously in order to keep such a paper alive. Your interests have been our in terest and we have tried at all times to work with you for the com- ood of both. May we ever con so to do. And while expressing gratification for this friendly spirit and helpful demeanor we wish to express our sincere wishes thai the people of Murray and all the surrounding ter ritory may enjoy a most Merry Xmas and a Happy and Prosperous New fear.

Takes Advantage of Price Knowing full well of the contem plated advance in the price of the Velie automobile. which now sells for Sl.SlKt. but which after the first of January will cost more money, P. A. Hild purchased a new li20 model from th" Puis Garage this week and iias the new car now as a Christmas present. And with foresight did he make the purchase, as after tLe 1st of the year another hundred dollars will be tacked onto the price. Mr. Puis advises all who are in the market for a car of this make to "come a running" as it is only a few days now until the advance in price becomes effective. Al the news in the Journal.
