P. g. A Christmas so lontr ao The journey was begun; Not bright and beautiful like this For clouds the sky o'errun. The wind was cold and bleak. The earth was bare and brown.

Ever and anon a tiny snowflake Fell, soft as eider" down. Their hearts were warm with love. Their eyes were blight with youth: And jrentle earnest actions Expressed a world of truth! The earth seemed with a halo Of holy light o'erpread. And oh, so proud and bouvant Were the two so lately wed. The path spffead out before them Was jremmed with flowers So bright; And all ihe world to them Assumed a radiant light.

Love wtisin the ascendant. Joy walked with them arm in arm; Hope rose on hih and beckoned them To hasten, as there was nought to harm But see a rufrpred mountain Kises, grim and tall. Maris- a stone and tree unturned And many a hidden pitfall. it see.ns roo hih and jagjred For mortal foot to climb: But love.surraounts all difficulties, Ahd proves itself sublime I long and dreary was the way, Gritn Terror lurked so near; And ghastly forms uprose To till their hearts with Pandora's box was emptied Of all its ills and pain. But Hope, the whit-3 winged dove Still in theif hearts remain.

At last the top was reached. And oh. the glorious light Which rose in all its splendor Arid banished darkest night. Soon in the lovely valley 1 hey were wulk ng hand in hand. Above them the soit blue sky, And blooming flowers, as magic warid Chased all their griefs away.

And now their hearts are ligrt, And peaceful is their milk. Far. lar away is banished Night, The clay seems grand and fair. The sun shines, the birds sing. The air is swe-.

with perfume, from The flowers tliat round them swing. And so we leave our couple To journey on together. Knowing while Hope and Love abides They will never mind the weutherl Alouo, as when on their journey They floated down life's main. They 11 travel the road beiore them And hope their Heaven to gain I December 25, 1890.

The Herald family, consisting of the editor, his wife; aud Joe Chaffer, have had the mail encumbered the past week with tokens of remembrance from far distant relatives and friends scatlered throughout the east to the Atlantic coast. Presents have been received from Jersey City; Bloomington, Carlinville. 111., Canton, Kansas City, and some few ironi Kansas, all of which are duly appreciated by the recipients.

We feel that we should show by actions and actual deeds that wo heartily appreciate the large or rather immense patronage that our customers and friends have given us during the 18 months past. Since the style of the firm has been Colter's Cheap Cash Store this store has not taken an inventory, and for this reason and to give our patrons an annual remembrance, we have concluded to place at their disposal one of the grandest snaps that was ever known either east or west. Therefore, on Christmas day and continuing during the. holiday week, open our store of already unsurpassed bargains, to the trade generally at prices so low that every person that ever expects to need goods wilLbuy them by the arm load. This great cut will be on all kinds of mens, boys and children's clothing and overcoats, hats aud and shoes, underwear, hosiery, gloveb and mittens in fact everything in the house.

It is to be a general remembrance Sale and we mean business and you will be astonished to see the prices that will be made. Of course we expect this to create a great rush and while it will enable us to shape our business, to a great extent, to invoice money instead of good, it surely will be appreciated by our customers and be the means of them remembering us as a place to secure bargains during the New Year. You now wonder if this means business or is it just a scheme to get trade? Wb answer it is a scheme. But a scheme that is full of business and an equal and mutual beneficial scheme. You will out with the money when you can buy those business shits at GO, worth and those $16 to $25 suits at $10 and those common suits at $2.50 worth $6 anywhere; those and $7 overcoats at $3.50 and a good overcoat at boy's overcoats at $1.50 to a 2 fur cap for 75 cents to heavy, warni caps at 15 to 35 cents: ladies fine dongolia shoes at $1.35 to Worth men's arctic, 75 cents; women's arctics, 50 cents; men's tur hats at $1 to $1.25, worth $2.50 to $3.50 everything in the house the same way.

When we tell you so and so we mean so and so and don't you forget it; and if this sale is what you expect it to be, tell your friends and tell them to not forget Colter, Cheap Cash Store for the year l'SOl. If you will just stop and think a minute, you will soon reckon that y'dii can get a great quantity of goods for a little money. You want to reckon that the entire stock has been bought far below the actual wholesale price and in addition to this we assure you that where we have small lots left that the cost cuts ho figure and the price will be cut to sell it during holiday week, wishing a happy and prosperous New Year. I am respectfully, Wr. Coltkb, Garden City, Kansas, First door south of Post Office.
