THE HOLIDAY TRADE.
The Christmas holidays are close at hand,
and already the little girls and boys, not
to say those of larger growth, are on the
tip-toe of expectation as to the nice things
in store for them on this festal occasion.
Santa Claus will make his annual round
this Christmas, as usual and the children
may confidently expect that he will be
promptly on time. He never fails. He
travels with the heetness Of the wind, and
it has long been noticeable that he is not
partial In the bestowment of his gifts. Like
spoilt old grandfather, all the children are
deserving alike with him, and as a general
thing bad boys and mischievous girls share
as plentifully Of the old saints's bounty as
those Of the most decorous department.
This is a characteristic of Santa Claus, and
goes to show that the spirit which prompts
his actions is superior to that of mere world
ly man. He cares for all the children alike,
and in this emulates the meek and loving
Saviour Of mankind, who said ''Suffer little

But while Santa Claus is making prepa-

saint would be futile and his efforts void.

cheer the inner man, and in our rounds we
called upon the grocers of our town and
found them we'll supplied, not only with
enough to bridge us over the holidays, but
to carry us into the new year.
John r. Ashe, near the depot, has full
supply Of family and fancy groceries and
can supply all the powder that may be
required by sportsmen during the hunting
season. He also has line of general mer-
chandise from which selections can profita-
bly, be made in the holiday trade.
His neighbor, w. c. Latimer, across the
way, besides having full line Of groceries,
has also an elegant stock of dry goods, dress
goods, millinery, clothing and notions.
Here you can find almost any article in the
Dry Goods line and many in the notions
line adapted to Christmas presents.

has also fine stock of groceries, family and
fancy, tobacco, cigars and candies and con-
fectiOns.
John May, Jr., is also supplied with a
choice line Of groceries and canned goods.
He keeps cigars and other articles in the
smoking line.
Latta Brothers are also grocers on an ex-
tensive scale, and at their house you can
find anything your appetite may desire,
while their line of fancy articles is complete.
Herndon Brothers are doubly prepared to
furnish Christmas cheer, having not only a
family grocery, from which all the substan-
tials may be supplied, but confectionery
and bakery, from which they dispense can
dies, bread and cakes.

groceries, candies, fruits and nuts. He
makes speciality of keeping almost every
conceivable article that goes in the stock of

bananas and other tropical fruit, which with
their canned goods makes an assortment

opened in the house formerly occupied by
Hunter g. Oates, on Main street. Thishous

dry goods, dress goods, clothing and notions.
The head of the house is one of our most
worthy young citizens, and if you call on
him in your Christmas rounds he will give
you the best attention.
The firm of Parish 4 Mcknight is also a
new concern in brand-new brick house,
on Main street, and presided over by Cal
Parish as actuary. He has won the appella-
ton of "Happy Cal," and he endeavors to
enthuse all around him with the same jovi-
ality that governs his own actions. Conse-
uuently he will furnish you with almost
'anything you can call for in either dry
goods or groceries, and he has an elegant
stock of both.

grocery men and those furnishising supplies

goods, fancy goods and notions.
