Time with its recurring seasons again
draws US near to the Christmas holidays,
season welcome TO all. To the man OF
business, because it is to him the harvest
time, in which he reaps the fruits of his
investments To the man of leisure, be.
cause it opens anew the channels of acti.
witty, and lends An increasing charm tc
our town, giving it an aspect of life and
enterprise. To the wife and little ones
it is indeed a season which is gladly vel
coined, bringing as it does, some token Of
remembrance and love from kind parents
husbands and children.
During the next week our retail dealers
must expect to be kept busy, as the many
thousands of our inhabitants will be look
ing out for presents and select the place
at which they can most advantageously
purchase the same. With view to keep
our readers posted where to make these
holiday selections, we shall each day lay
before them list of the business firms Of
our town, who have laid in large stocks
and made ample provisions for the de
mands that will be made upon them
Advertisers will thus see that now is the
time to hand in their advertisements and
secure the benefit of a notice in the
directory.
Among the first places seekers after
Christmas presents should visit, is the
book stores, for no little one or large one
either should be passed by without 6
book in these days of books. Food for the
mind is of the greatest Importance. Per
hsps one of the best reliefs that can be
given to an over-tsxed brain is to neu.
tralize its hard workings by serving to II
a we'll written and interesting volume
Books are at all times acceptable, and
prove such in double sense as they at
ford the means of instruction and are OF
great valrle TO tho leisure moments. Ihere
is no doubt that many will be bought al
presents. We would commence at home
in advising our readers 10 visit the well
stocked establishment of futile and Com
pany, Center street. They are now re.
ceiving new stock of books, including
the most popular works of the day, and
they also have for sale sill articles in the
stationery, line, chromes, inkstands, istereo'
scopic views, and in fact everything OF
use and ornament usually found in first
class book store. Give them a call.
As the holidays approach, every one il
thinking of some elegant and tasteful
memorial, that can be presented to q
friend. Every day, can be seen at Bailey
& Psrkers, on Merchants Row, a large
number of shoppers, making selections
from the large stock on hand, which COM
prises fine gold and silver watches, for
ladies and gentlemen. They have an
unusally large stock of gold watches fol-
ladies, at extremely low prices. Guard
and opera chains, lockets, studs, sleeve
buttons, opera glasses, and in fact all ar
ticlss of fine ware, usually kept by first
class jewellers. They have as speciality
a large line of fancy solid silver goods, in
morocco cases, from the celebrated manu-
factury of Gorham 6 Co., of New York.
Ti.eir good cold at the lowest mar.
ket figures, and purchasers of presents
should avail themselves of the opportun-
ity to make their selections at once.
If there is a condition in life in which
man feels out of sorts it is when his
clothing becomes seedy. The great COM
plant is that it costs SO much money that
they cannot afford to .replenish their
wardrobe. To such we give a word of
advice: Some morning pay visit to
Paine, Bowman & Co., on Merchants
Row, and be surprised at what q small
outlay it will require to procure a we'll
fttiug suit of clothes made in modern
style, and You will purchase forthwith
and never regret the call, you can also
have your clothing made to order, as their
tailoring department is complete
with choice fine goods. They can fit You
with the latest style of hat or cap. gloves,
you do not wish to be selfish and not
carry something to the good lady of the
house, just buy set of furs which they
have of all kinds and styles. In passing
around do not forget TO call at Paine,
Bowman & Co.
A new dress pattern is always an ac-
oeptable gift, as it is an article of adorn-
ment and real worth. a lover cannot
make his sweetheart a present which will
merit more favor in her eyes than q nice
silk dress. With view to accommodate
his many patrons who wish to purchase
all kinds of dry goods, Burt, at his great
has, with the greatest care,
chosen select stock adapted for presents.
Those contemplating making presents OF
any article of dry goods should bear this
fact in mind, as by visiting Burt's new
store on Merchants Row, the latest
novelties can be procured.
