WHERE TO MAKE PURCHASES OF
CHRISTMAS CHEER And ALL
KINDS OF PRESENTS.

The scene along our business thoroughfares
for the past few days gives evidence that in all
the various business channels the near approach
of the holidays has given decided activity. we
continue our notices OF business firms whose an
nouncements in THE NEWS are specially worthy
the attention OF buyers:
Christmas Cheer.
A Christmas dinner, by the way, is not worth
much without plum pudding, the materials for
which can be obtained, with many other things,
at Klinck, wicEenberg 4 Co.'s These gentlemen
fully sustain the reputation which their house
has so long enjoyed of selling only the very best
+ goods and at fair and uniform prices. Their
stock includes sherry, port claret and Catawba
wines; cabinet and Siery champagnes; Jamaica
and Santa Cruz rum; old French brandies, and
also a fresh stock Of French fruits, cherries
peaches and plums. Also, mustards, sauces, &C.
of domestic and foreign brands. Our readers will
certainly find something in their catalogue OF
goods that they want.
Mince Pies.
The mention of Christmas calls up longing
for the hot rich and savory delicacy which re-
conciled little Jack HorDer to retaining his place
I'm the traditional corner for an indefinite length
of time. And mince pie and the fame OF Tuy the
caterer are inseparably connected. In richness
of mince meat and delicacy OF pastry, his is an
unapproachable pie He can also furnish all the
other staples for the Christmas board-fne tur
KEYS game iced cakes, jellies and other dishes to
order. at short notice and moderate rates.
Rhine Wine.l
Nothing Is a lighter and more pleasant accom-
pan!ment Of the Christmas board than glass Of
of good Rhine wine. Mr.. ]. NJ. Martin, No. IS
Market street. has just received several casks OF
choice Rhine Franker and Moselle wines, which
he will sell by the barrel gallon, bottle or glass at
reasonable rates.
Fruit.
Ifyour purse is slender, and you want to get
good and cheap fruit 60 to Kein's, in King street,
above Liberty, where fine bananas, oranges or
lemons may be had at forty cents dozen.
Fowls and Game.
For turkeys, geese, ducks and fowls, 60 to
william Hunt, No. 40 Market street, who has just
received several large consignments fresh from
the country. For game and potatoes from the
North, the place Is Thomas Murphy's, No. 81 Mar
ket street.
Economical people may wear their clothing
threadbare at other seasons OF the year. but every
one likes to have good clothes about Christmas
times, and this year they can be accommodated
with something nice at reasonable prices as they
may see by referring TO the advertisement OF Mat
thiessen, tho Bismarck Of dealers. Ills establish
ment at the corner Of King and wentworth
streets, is the resort OF all who would obtain fash
ionable and well made clothing at fair rates. The
fact is, friend Matthessen reads the papers, and
knows when gold Is on THE decline, and goods
with 1t, and Is not like some OF our business men
In other lines, who, when prices fall fifty per
cent. in New York, don't get the news for months.
The Golden Eagle.
We would advise all who desire to spare the
pocket nerve to avoid that stand on King street
under the golden eagle; for once inside the thresh-
old, the eye becomes bewildered, the grasp on the
purse-strings is relaxed and the unwilling visitor
is changed to generous buyer. Mr.. Spear has
an inexhaustible stock OF jewelry, sverware,
and fancy articles OF bioutere, that are just the
dot for Christmas presents, and no matter how
low or high the tariff may run, they are sure to
be received with pleasure. King street has few
more attractive resorts than Spears, and the
temptation to spend money on the numerous
articles so lavlshy display is almost irresistible
In fact, none struggle against the temptation,
but fall easy victims and yield their greenbacks
with good grace.
"Listen to the Mocking Bird"
he sings daily at Kleln's King street, above
Liberty, where imported canary birds also make
sweet music. Call and purchase pair Of song
birds as Christmas gift for your wife or sweet
heart, or both.
Is he Really Santa Claus:
1t is the popular belief among those Of the
rising generation of Charleston who have no per.
sonal acquaintance with Won Santen, that that
gentleman Is good natured old hobgoblin with
frosty beard and ruddy phiz and with a very
agreeable knack Of slipping down all the Chin
neys on q certain happy morning OF the year. for
the special delight and enrichment OF good little
boys and girls. But the immense number OF new
tangled toys which he opened yesterday warrants
