Yet the city council had to repeal that portion of the city ordinance requiring that the city printing be given to the paper with the largest bona fide circulation be- fore it could give the printing to the} Register. Why this action of the council was necessary in view of the Register having the “largest daily circulation of any paper in West Kentucky, Paducah iuciuded,”’ is one of the inscrutable things in jour- palisin. the advertisers and business men of Paducah that the manager of the Register eithet’call in his claim to jhaving the largest circulation in Pa- ducab or explain why the ordinance was sochanged that the printing need not be given to the paper hav- ig the largest bona fide circulation.

NOVELTIES. The queerest use for snake skin is asabelt. An elegant belt of Par- isian manufacture is evolved trom the skin of a yellow serpent, mottled in black. The suggestion of the kin worn on the person is an alluring one, aud might give a nervous person the the horrors. Prayer books among the Christ- mas novelties are of the most elegant description. The covers are enam- eled or jeweled in sacred emblems of some, while others are of the pale colored kid or Morocco, with the corners of Persian enameled gold or silver. Crosses of enameled metal decorate some of them; others are of plain kid, with a jeweled mono- gram. The cross as an article of jewelry bas returned, although the symbol uf suffering is by no means an alluring form of persoval ornament. ‘These crosses are of Roman gold or even of precious stones audrecall those in the jewel caskets of our grandmothers, who wore'them of enormous size. girdles of every description are mount, and superb . the fashion fo indulge A beautiful floral calendar designed by America’s most famous artists, lithographed In twelve colors, will be given free in our store to buyers of twenty-five cants’ worth of Floating This calendar alone is worth twenty-five cents and we want you to see it, The soap is first-class---its quality guar- anteed or your money back.
