displayed artsticaliv arranged samples of
bright fancy hard ware. Just in front of
the entrance is placed the gun case, in
which is shown 4 number of the best makes
OF breech leaders. BESIDES these special
ties, Mr.. w. has a large stock Of general
hardware, bar iron, rims, Shafts, wheels,
harness, blankets and robes of all kinds
and prices, sleighs, and eight ten first
class carriages and buggies. His whip rack
is Il curiosity, containing everything made

made a speciality, also ready mixed paints,

other things, the five and ten cent counters

The next visit WAS To he celebrated
BEE HIVE,
in the Hollow, kept 10y H. q. t:eeSe, aud TO
il certainty the name is no mi>numtr. To
watch the tiockiug in and ont and to hear
the buzz and hustle of customers ut this
popular place is Il perfect show. Mr.. Reese
makes no speciality OF Christmas goods in
the way of nlcis-uack> and GIN cracks, hut
for a stock of good substantial staple dry
goods, and fine household groceries We can
commend this establishment. The stock at
this time is full and complete The prices
are as low as the lowest and the proprietor
. and his assistants have Il genial welcome
for all who come, which goes long way
with the general customer. The grocery
and provision store ad Looming the main place
| is also full up with good things for Christ
mas. For good, solid, satisfactory pur-
chases we recommend the Bee Hive.
While on the street we dropped in on our
mutual musical friend,
WILKINSON
If there is no music in his comhination,
there is plenty in his wareroomS. Pianos,
organs, and that domestic musical instru
ment, the sewing machine may he found
there in abundance and any order can be
promptly filled at prices rs low rs any city
concern.
The millinery store of
Mrs. VI. y. j. NELSON,
at this time presents an attractive appear
ance. Loads upon loads of fine goods
upon the counters, hats and honmets of all
conceivable shapes and prices, aud all sorts
of articles of female apparel are shown in
great profusion. Mrs. y. this season makes
a speciality Of ported artificial plants and
flowers and we defy the most thorough
. florist to detect the difference between them
and the natural plant at first glance. They
really are a wonder and should be seen by
all. One lady not doubling the genuineness
of the plant inhaled the (supposed) trag
rance OF one of the roses and pronounced it
exquisite.
While looking around among the pretty
things it struck rs that something for the
inner man might perchance prove attrac-
tive, so we repaired to the store Of
j. l.. WELLS,
on East Main street. Here we Toasted our
eyes upon the plump poultry, the enormous
gobbler ready for the oven, the splendid
beef, the slain porker, with the apple in
mouth, the fruits and other necessary iugre-
dents for the plum pudding i'll fact, every
thing calculated to tempt the epicure or
make Il hungry mans mouth water, was
here in abundance. Beside the establish
ment Of Mr. Wells, which is the leading
one, there are Il number OF others whereat
the hungry man may procure wnerewithaii
to appease his appetite or make up the
Christmas feast, among them We name, the
store of j. =. MERRITT, ON Main street,
where Il full stock Of goods in this line is
kept that of JOHN CANTWELI. and Ter

In This connection We would call attention
to the extensive and assorted stock OF meats.
provisions and groceries Of

Giles, their salesman, knows how to handle
meats.

MRS. rANrwELL's,
Main street. Just above the Bank, is another
of the uptown stores, where the household
wants may be filed. She keeps Il fresh
stock at regular prices. AS we approach
the store OF
II. SrirTIE,
on Main street, orr attention was attracted
to a large gathering of youngsters crowded
around the windows feasting their eyes upon
the pretty things shown in the window.
Mr. SIS stock Of toys and confectionery is
fail and complete and his oven produces all
sorts of fine breads The store of
MISS EMMA HEArZIG,
Il few doors above, is another attractive
spot. Her stock of toys and confectionery
is Very full.
At the Christmas headquarters of
MRS. ANNll: NJ. K. PRICE,
Main street, just above the Court House,
the youth of our town do gather with gap
tl,a
things. The stock of Mrs. Price is full and
everything theheart of youth could wish is
there in abundance. The Figures of ancient
coiored individuals shown in her window
are amusing in the extreme, many other
curious toys and abundance of sweet things
are sold by her.
-tt the dry good store of
THOMAS DRENNEN
the Usual stir was apparent, though Mr.. ID.
does not make n Speciality of Christmas
goods; yet his stock is full Of everything
substantial and staple in the line of dry
goods and groceries, and every legitimate
want may be supplied there.
For stoves, tinware, and minor articles in
this line to render the winter bearable, the
stock OF MFS>l>, ALEXANDER and RAMEo
in he IIurn block, JAMESON, corner of
Church aui Main streets and HARRY
ALEXANDER, in the Hollow, are suitably
full.
We next visited the store of
MRS. LUCY LITZESBERG.
1t was crowded with customers. Her
stool. is arranged in glass cases and tables
with SO much method that we walked
around sight seeing. Dne case OF lewery

scrap books, chilaren's and ladies knit
goods, silk handkerchiefs, and the more
substantial, hosiery, gloves, merino vests.
The entire west side is devoted to ribbons
in glass eases. buying and selling seems a
mutual pleasure. There is no necessity for
a motto being hung in that store. We saw

prietress and salesladies it WAS = We study

The finished ones made us wonder if any
of Elkton' fair ones could think of going
to the cities TO purchase when their own
town can boast of such an establishment.
The dry goods and grocery store Of
FRANZ T.. rRiuE,
i'll the Hollow, is now an attractive place.
The stock is peculiarly suitable for Christ
mas presents, being all new and fresh Few
articles can be called for which cannot be
found here, ut low prices, too
