Show Munificent Christmas Gift. At their last meeting the president and directors of Zion's Co-operative Mercantile institution authorized the free distribution of 100 tons of coal to the poor of this citjr as a Christmas present. This act is in accordance with a custom of the company that has for a number of years been carried out by the management of the largest store in the state, and that has given more than one family a happier holiday season. There is no time like Christmas when a gift of coal is more appreciated by those not in good circumstances, and the present of Z. C. M. I. to the noor of this city will be much appreciated. The coal will be furnished by Bishop Preston to the, deserving poor of the city and will: be delivered at their homes. |
