Dr. A. Smith rendered surgical aid and gave the injured man all possible relief. Some time ago we sent the Times a suggestion from Dr. James Porter, our local dentist, in which the doctor ably reminded our town authorities, fire company and the directors of the Midland-Elk Lick Wajer Co of the necessity of having some protection for the water plugs during cold weather to prevent a repetition of last winter's experience, viz, when in time of need having to thaw them out before getting the water so much needed.

What happened our we do not know, but it never appeared, and as the suggestion is so very appropriate we again make the attempt to suggest that the fire company and town authorities take this matter up and see that the protection is thrown around tbe plugs in time. Mr. Chas. Lemmon was the unfortunate victim of a peculiar accident Wednesday night, which will incapacitate him for hla usual labor for some time. While returning from his work in the small vein'he fell into the pit in which the plane wheels are imbedded" and received several bad bruises- and cuts about tbe head and body, which required the attention of a physician.

Miss Reilley, teacher at the Frazee school, near Flintstone, Is home for the holidays, Mrs. Price Poland and daughter visited friends here yesterday. In grandma's days the child who re- celved two or three presents from dear old Santa was considered a being doubly blessed. In these days the tot who becomes the possessor of tout three gifts at Christmas time considers himself in an entirely different light than did the little ones of half a century ago. The reason Is a easily explained.

Toys a half past were many more expensive than in these days of modern machinery for making all the articles that bring delight to the hearts of the little ones at this season of the year. A walk through the shopping district is convincing, for the small auia of five cents will buy one of a myria-l varieties of toys. The man with tbi limited Income haK no longer any reason for not supplying his little ones with enough to matte them happy. Wondar is expressed on all sides cc the quality of the toys that a nickel will purchase. Not only is the quality of the articles, but also the wide variety fairly astounding.

A glance into a toy shop or into that section of an large department store will convince one of thlsyfact. The five-cent cour ter is the most popular and crowdel THEATRICAL BBNNBTT-MOULTON CO. A. Friday-- The Fatal Cola. Saturday-- The Lnn(Jon Bank Robbery MATINEES.

22--Mr. Jno. Raley. the well known and popular base ball player, had an exciting time while returning home from Piedmont on last Wednesday night about 11 o'clock. When about half way across the West Virginia railroad trestle, spanning the Potomac river and the connecting lake and the West Vlr- ur.

Mrs. li Scbaidt wife of the proprtftor.of the Grand Hotel, re- hem. Ms rs. to ginla Junction, he noticed two men approaching from tne Junction side of the bride. The Brat man passed and stopped a feet behind Raley, the second one held him up and demanded his money.

John realised ue was all alone and In a moat dangerous place for a scrap, so he determined to get the lrop on his man. and then tr to escape. As quick as a flash. John plantsd one of his strong left handed blows squarely between the stranger's eyes. He went down and over the trestle and dropped to tnr river beneath, a distance of about la feet.

John expected other fellow to follow up the attack, bnt be enough'toys to make three littles ones mighty Christmas morning. Books, Toys and Games for a Then there are books, books, and still books, any of which a nickel will buy. Mother Goose tales, the story of "Little Jack Homer," ani all sorts of fairy anecdotes are pilel In heaps, and eacn one goes for a nicl el Surely there shyild not be a chll 1 In this city that win wake up on Christmas morn without being sur- plled with enough presents to make it happy. The majority of them are far from cheap in appearance or wormansblp. The more one looks the more he wonders that the price can be so small.

For 10 cents the assortment Is naturally much larger, and those who are willing to spent a quarter or half-dollar for a child's toy are able to make A purchase that a few years ago would have been looked upon as something really luxurious. For a quarter or 50 cents the number of mechanical toys that, can be bought is amazing. The cleverness with which these articles are constructed shows the great strides that have been made to toy making recently In both this and foreign countries. With the toys, books and hundreds of other Christmas articles at the present prices old St Nick has put to a large supply, and there will be tew littles ones Christmas morning- who will not find their stockings filled to their entire satisfaction. What Christmas Means to These.

The strain under which the corps of salesmen and women in the stores have been working to comply wttb the exacting demands of the Shoppers has begun to tell on them, and tnelt usually smiling faces are marked with lines of care and worry. Notwithstanding the fact that the vast majority of the city's merchants are kind" to their assistants, the pace set by the crowd is rapidly wearing away the reserve strength of the less robust of the workers, and they at least will be glad when the week la over. the bate evening, zfter the Ions; day's work Is finished the hundreds of shopgirls present a pathetic picture as they trudge their weary way homeward or stand on some street corner waiting for the car which Is to carry them to their ranch needed rest This Is a picture which the careless shopper usually forgets when some badly rushed girl Is not just as prompt In waiting on their every, want as they vance opinions seem to be as one and that both star and supporting company have proven a revelation in the popular price field. Miss Purnell is said to be possessed of a beautiful face and elocutional powers that have won for her a place in the legitimate ranks that is entirely her own. The plays that she will present here are ones not overdone by every repertoire attraction, but ones that she alone controls the rights for, and some excellent presentations may be expected.
