The Comfort Calender.

| The Journal is indebted to Mr.. w. III.
Gannctt, publisher of Comfort, for very
handsome office calendar, which he has
! sent out personally TO a large number of
people in Augusta. This calendar is sent
to advertise his paper, Comfort, and the
familiar trademark of the key that
opens the doors of one million and n
quarter homes, combined with the name
of the paper, forms the picture at the top.
The calendar proper is large. intended for
wall use in offices, and is printed in two
colors, the Sundays, the holidays and
phases of the moon being printed in red.
At the foot Of each month appears Il
timely line about advertising in Comfort,
which, of course, is intended for general
advertisers and not for home consump-
ton. Information was given us yester-
day that Mr.. Gannett has sent out some
5000 of these calendars, to general adver-
Using firms everywhere, and that. he re
ceived so many requests for second copies
that it occurred to him that his friends
and neighbors might wish some them
selves. Since sending out a number
through the mail here, several personal
requests have been made at the office.
and the wants of the callers have been
supplied; so that quite a number of these
calendars viii be7fn use in Augusta dur
ing 1901.

Decorating Tor Christmas.

\ great many compliments were given
on account of the Christmas trimming on
the federal building yesterday. This, as
the Journal otedsyesterday, is the first
time that outside decorations at Christ
mas has been seen in Augusta; but ii is
a very common custom in Germany and
England, ana gradually getting a firm
foothdld ON this side OF the water. The
custom is most thoroughly carried out in
Philadelphia, which is a very English
city, where the most of the buildings are
decorated throughout the holiday sea
son with festoons OF holly ana other
Christmas greens More or less Of this
trimming can be seen in almost any
southern city at this time of the year,
and in most ce the large commercial cen
ters. The idea is gradually spreading in
all directions as the observation of
Christmas is growing more marked every
year. In addition TO outside trimming, it
is customary everywhere in the United
States to hang green Wreaths tied with
red ribbons. The shipment of small trees
for Christmas use commenced but a few
years ago, and has attained enormous
proportions. The largest part of the
trees come from the State of Maine. and
are carefully tied up into the smallest
compass and sent in whole carloads to
the New York and other city markets.
Good trees of ordinary size are worth
from $500 to $500 in the market, and
sometimes attain prices as high as $1,000
before Christmas day; but after Christ
mas the price sinks rapidly. until they
are closed out at about SOC. to SOC. apiece.
