EDITORIAL PRESENTS. The editor
OF the Charlottesville Chronicle has
been receiving some presents, rare
things in these "degenerate days"
We copy his acknowledgements
Messrs. Butler & Co. have sent us
some excellent advice and a beautiful
pen-knife we shall use both. At the
same time we would caution our mer
cantlle friends in sending us presents
to bear in mind that a very little
advice goes great way with us, and,
II 1T is the same to them, other things
would be preferredas q general rule.
In the present case we needed it.
Mr.. Nathan GaZan will accept our
thanks for fashionable hat, much
needed. We hope our friends, thus
prepared, will recognize us. We sup
pose everybody now will get their
hats from Gazan.
We wish to say to our friends in the
country that, if any of them sent us
a turkey this Christmas, owing no
doubt to the bad roads, we never got
it.
Mr.. F. M. Wills will accept our
thanks for bottle of Holland gin,
and bottle of old Cognac. The
public must not think that we drink
all OF the spirits that is sent us. We
set 1t In our windows and let the light
play through it. We enjoy it just as
much this way, and are just as CRATE
ful, as If we shocked our friend
MIR. -, by making it into toddy.
