can use your eyes as lone as you wish

The Rayo Lamp is low-priced, and
even though you pay $5, $10 or $20 for
other ianwa, you may get more expensive
decorations but you cannot get a better
light than the low-priced Rayo gives. A

While in conversation with one of the

latter part of January before the

however will be impossible.
Although Christmas is near at hand
and usually there is much rowdyism
among the law breaking element of the
city at this season, bo far there has been
but little of this in this city. In

there wag only one minor case on the
docket. This verefies the fact that
there is but little disorderly conduct go

All of the crews on the Government
boats which are located in this port will

that day on board of the boats.
"A real Christmas gift to the chop

Postmaster Edgar Allen, Jr , of the
local office, said that the charges would
be pushed vigorously and that not a
week passtd but what the name of an

Mr. Saffel is working on three cases
where physicians are alleged to have

sometime ago, spreading consternation.
The postmaster said he had no objection
to the fullest publicity of the cases, in
hopes that warnings will be taken. '
