HOLIDAY ATTRACTIONS.
where to Get what You want.

According to our promise yesterday, we viii
give some account Of the different places in our
city where various purchases may be made for
the holidays, Of course mentioning particularly
our advertising patrons.
1t is fact too well known TO require comment.
that this little world of ours, though demonstrated
by philosophers TO be much smaller than many
other worlds, is nevertheless filed with an innu-
merable host Of people. almost infinitely diversi-
fed as to character and wants. 1t cannot, there
FORE be hoped that we shall suit the taste Of every
individual, and we shall confne ourselves only to
a notice Of those wants which general through
out all communities.
1t is naturally TO be supposed that, in proportion
as our term Of existance is extended in this world
our stock Of experience should become increased;
and therefore the housewife. who has been for
several years engaged in looking after some Of the
numerous wants Of her charge, knows full well
how 10 lay in a sufficient store 10 provide against
the approach Of winters Indictment season. As
places where she may do this TO advantage, we may
mention the establishments Of Medary a Burke,
corner Of Broad and Market streets Pandofni &
Riya No. IL north Cherry street; Foster Brothers,
No. 30 west side Public Square; r. Ewes & Co.. No.
3 Deaderick street; C. L. Fuller & Co.. Maso1s
Temple, Church street.
But though the experienced matron knows how
TO provide in advance for unforeseen contingent
gencies, the young housewife, blessed with less
experience Of the cares tolls, and vicissitudes Of
this earthly existence, has her attention directed
TO purchasing articles of somewhat different
character; and these shewil find at the house of
Weakley & Warren, No. II North College street,
In case anything is desired for the moro complete
organization Of the kitchen department, it may
be well to notice the articles in this line kept by
Buck, Barnes & Co., No. II College street and
table cutlery. scissors, etc, may be found at
Nanleer Co.'S, A College street. Breast ds1lO.'s,
y Public Square; Fall cO.s, "a Public SqHre
The young daughter, just budding into woman
hood, has probably read Great Expectations"
and the ideas therein contained are not lost upon
her. Her various wants often make largo de-
mands upon the paternal purse. yet her mpor-
tunities hard to be resisted and as she is in
search Of the much coveted objects of her youthful
ambition, we would direct her to Luck's Music
Store, on Church street, opposite st. Cloud Hotel
Bcnson's, "a Union street also to McClure's
Music Emporium. No. 80 Union street. Here,
many Other various wants may DO supplied. In
passing we would remark, that there is at No. %
Union street, an establishment commonly called
Circulating Library, kept by j. V. Armstrong,
where much useful and entertaining reading may
be procured at n very reasonable rate.
The little ones should. of course, not be forgot
ten; and many suitable presents can be obtained
at Hobbs & Co.'S, 81 North College street.
The head Of the family, remembering that the
halcyon days Of youth never return, learns wisdom
from tho past, and seeks some permanent invest
ment for the benefit of himselfor children. Ifin-
suranco is desired he may apply to the Nashville
Insurance Company; Tennessee Marine and Fire
Insurance Company, "a North College street; or
to the st. Louis Life Insurance Company, Nash
vile Office in Second National Bank building.
To those in search Of handsomely bound books, |
albums, late publications.. and vau |
able reading matter generally, VIC would say that
d splendid assortment will be found at the book |
stores Of L. p Cone. No. 40 Cherry street. and w.
{. Collier, No. 81 Union street.
As our time is limited, we would direct those |
whose wants are still unsatsfed and who wish |
further information, TO apply TO any one of the /
several intelligence offices in this city, rs those in
charge arc supposed to'know everything and can |
give such minute details will satisfy the most |
curious.
