timely reflections on what we cannot con.
troll.
We return to the delightful task of making
our customers and our friends better ac-
uuainted with one another. It is indescri-
badly felicitous.
T. r. PRICE Il Co, corner OF Main and
Eleventh streets.-An old and favorite
establishment. Founded in days by-gone
br man whose word was as bond, and
whose civility was as part OF his life. We
knew him well, Horatio.' He was man
whose disappearance from amongst us left a
vacancy not to lie readily dilled. His life
was smooth-his pleasantly uninterrupted.
We never knew him out Of temper, and his
smile was a benefaction. But we are not
writing an obiruary-only brief aluslon
to the esteemed gentleman who established
this house, which still bears his honored
name. Yes, the older members OF society
never enter the fine establishment now con-
Quoted by his descendants without thinking
OF its founder. His manly and bland figure
and sace rise before them and add to the in
terest they feel in the establishment now
conducted with an enterprise in keeping
with the times.
It is pleasant to an old man who remem-
bers the bright days to which we allude to
see the store Of Price & Co. still flourlshIng,
and even stepping forward with Christmas
stocks TO invite the seekers after tine things
and tasteful presents suited to theSSeason.
We commend their invitation to fashiona-
bic and young people. We observe collars
and cuffs, and rufflings, and gloves, and
cloaks, etc. Their cloths, and silks. and
satins, and delaines, and bombazines, and
draperies OF all sorts, are, as usual selected
with taste and OF every variety.
BEDFORD the Halter, No. 1909 Main
treet.-Most people like to have ga new
head on " for Christmas; and Redford had
rather put on such new head-plece than
that any one else should. You say I"
don't wonder"; well now, there are some
people that can't show a hat off, and we
don't think Redford would like to waste
good hat on q bad face! But he will do
the best he can for moderately ugly per-
sons. Besides the prevailing styles in hats
ne offers fine mutts and furs, and seal
sacoues trimmed with otter or beaver. They
are charming things embracing lovely
women. They look so Christmas-y. Red
ford knows what he is about, and is sure to
fit the customer to the best advantage.
a. SAKs a. Co.. 1913 Main street.-This
clothing-house, recently opened in Rich
mond, has large stock, made up in recent
STYLES " at reduced rates" We invite at
tention to their tempting advertisements.
Saks g. Co. have taken every article OF male
attire under their direction, and the pants,
and vests, and coats stand faithfully by the
reputation of the Saks. They would be
scuryy fellows not to do so. The concern
flies high its flag, and shows that it means to
maintain an elevated reputation. Mems
and boys suits in every variety OF article
and STYLE. The firm appeals to young per-
sons who wish for "nobby" suit to call
on them. They rather incline to the "nob-
by" line. They know that is their "quar-
antine." Indeed, this clearinghouse OF
Saks d Co. has the "Sine qua non" rs Weii
the quarantine" in every department,
FERRANDINI, 613 Broad street-W1gs,
Braids, Hair-Work, Hair Jewelry, &c=-Fer-
randini is master OF his delicate art, and
very high art it is. 1t reigns over the
very seat Of knowledge, and adorns that
part Of man which more than any other de-
mands the advantages Of a good appear
anee. Ferrandini is student of physiog-
nomy as well as the head, and knows how
to adapt the head to the face, and the face
to the head. So o word to the gay and fes-
tive: II to dress you are inclined, and n
graceful air suits your mind, remember,
Ferrandini's art finishes oil your better part
and makes you new person, and, like Mar
cissus, you viii fall in love with yourself.
We know no consummation more devoutly
to be wished than that. The supreme self
eomplaeeacy that disregards. the love OF
others Is the, highest earthly happiness.
What q xonderful man is Ferrandini
L. L1ckrEEsTEIN, 1905 and 1707 Franklin
street.-This Is the seine-thread and twine
n emporium Liehtenstein imports twine,
and eork-wood, and those cords and fasten-
ings that are used to catch fish. What a
pity that the charming fishers OF men
couldn't find something to help their art at
Lichtenstein's. Wouldn't that be good?
