Here's a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all. May all the good things you 

 have obtained through me during the pastyear be recorded on the credit side of my account in the Book 

 of Fate. The close of 1905 sees me still doing business at the same old stand, though I am enlarging 

 my staff in view of the bargain counter attractions I shall have to offer after the Christmas rush is over. 



By the bye, I have just one offer to make that is quite out of the usual, though I am accustomed 

 to handle things a little out of the ordinary. Last week, for instance, I sold a kitten with five legs. A 

 few days previously I negotiated the sale of two fox skins the like of which no man had ever seen. My 

 present offer, however, is a share in a recipe for preventing the attacks of mosquitoes, black flies, 

 house flies, and, in fact, all kinds of vermin. The discoverer of this compound is willing to take a 

 man with a few thousand dollars into partnership and he would prefer someone who is accustomed to 

 handling such an article. I think that, perhaps, there is a million dollars or so in this discovery if 

 it is properly handled.

_j-v PAIRS of Homer Pigeons for sale at 75 cents 

 5 per pair. These pigeons reside in the State

 you live at a distance. Hager. 



HT HE OLIVER TYPEWRITER is acknowledged to 

 • be one of the best. Mr. J. F. Roberts has one 



that is practically new, and which cost him $97.50. 

 You can buy it, through me, for $77.00. The same 

 gentleman has a foxhound for sale that he says is 

 a dandy and a bargain at $15. Surely one or other of

 Peep Rear and Lyman Combination Front Sights.

M 



R. HARRY E. PHILLIPS has a setter that is 

 thoroughly broken and a close worker. He is 

 five years old and will not be sold for less than $100. 

 This dog is not a field trial dog; but one to fill the 

 game bag with.

 power 'scope mounted micrometer adjustment. Out- 

 fit weighs 9 lbs. Full set of tools, shells and moulds 

 go with it. Little used. Listed at $56.75, to be sold 



for $30. It is my belief that this is one of the great- 

 est snaps in the gun line that I have been able to 

 offer for some time. 



TV/TR. G. OGDEN PERSONS, a Southern sports- 

 man of more than local reputation, desires to 

 buy a thoroughly good English setter dog, six months 

 old. The parents must have been good field workers, 

 and the price must be a fair one.

 registry, against a well-bred pointer pup worth at 

 least $50. Who wants to make a deal?
