further provides that such increase

Hi.iire. Mr Watkinson has put In a
large supply of all Hindi goods and
it will bn no trick at all to select
a Hiitnhlu holiday present from his
exeellent assortment
Mr. Sellwer has received u very
fine and large display of jewelry,
watches and clocks and an elegant
display of silverware. A glance at
his stock will convince anyone that
it it the most complete ever brought
to Loup City. Kvcrytlilng in the
Jewelry line suitable for a holiday
present call there he found. He
lias also a good line of musical
instruments and can lit you out
with most any kind of tin instru
ment you want.
VVi* took occasion to step into the
holiday dcpartni-nt of Odendahl
Hrof*. and found not only the tlmst.
display of that kind of goods eve
brought to town, nut the store wus
crowded with customers, all inlying

for the occuaion.
Another place wbie.li very much
attracted our attention was that of
Obas. (Jasteyer. in the west front
wyijow of bis large Lrt'ifU estubli*b
nieiii was a display of cliinaware
that would be a credit to a town of
larger proportion* than this. It is
very beautifully and artistically ar
ranged and the ware of the best
uuality. The display as shown in
the wunfow is but a f air sample of
the large stock which lie has on
hand. Mr. (Jasteyer not only has a
large assortment of cliinaware, but
a lirst class stock of every tiling per
taining to the grocery line, as well
as an excellent lino of hoots and
shoes. The elegant slippers which
he has in stock are of the latest
sty les and makes, and would make
very beautiful and useful Christ
mas presents.

In going the rounds we also had
occasion to drop in at the large es
tablishment of T. L. Pilger where
you cun buy anything from a husk
ing peg or a tin whistle to a silk
dress or a plug hat Such an as
sortment of all classes of goods
was never before seen at Loup City.
He bandies everything that u cus
tomer could expert to find iu a first
