CHRISTMAS SHOPPING OVER
 AND SANTA CLAUS IS HERE
Bulk of the Trade Came on Monday and Tuesday And ThrOngS of Buyers Were
 Down Town.

At midnight Iast night the Christmas shopping was over and hundreds of tired clerks and employers went to their homes, each no doubt glad that the rush of trade which had prevailed since early Monday morning was done.
 On account of the bitterly cold and bleak weather of last week Montgomery merchants. wto had provided the usual heavy stocks of Christmas wares, were disappointed with the business which weather moderated and the Christmas shopping of Montgomery was practically CT owded into the two days preceding the great annual holiday of the world.
 Monday and Tuesday the business district of Montgomery was an animated scene. The climax was reached shortly before twilight yesterday evening when the sidewalks of Dexter Avenue and fntersecting streets were almost impass- able owing to the throngs Of people busily engaged in buying, buying. buy. ing.
 Electric cars leaving down town throughout the evening and until mid night were crowded with passengers and each man, woman and child carried bum dles piled high in his or her arms Pe- destrians climbed the hill to the resi- dence districts with all sorts of Christ mas goods done up in nice round pack ages and some of them said unpleasant things because they could net find room in outgoing cars.
 When the big down town stores were closing last night the shelves and coun- ters looked as if cyclone had blown through them and swept all of the goods away. The buyers had simply swooped down upon the stores, bought nearly ev- erythine in sight, leaving their money be hind. Merchants who had been gloomy and depressed with the closing days of last week were tired but happy. Clerks were happy because their employers had reaped a harvest of trade the two days before Christmas.
 T can't say that our trade was as good es 1t was last Christmas" said one large dealer, but we are satisfied. Mon day and Tuesday saved us and we did all of the business those two days that could be crowded into the time"
 One of the popular places with Christ mas shoppers was Goetter's big depart ment store on Dexter Avenue. From its opening Monday morning until the doors were closed last night this store was one of the busiest places in Montgomery. It looked last night ss though everything of value in the big store had been sold, but Mr. Goetter said that when the stock N as strengthened out and new goods were put on the shelves the result of Mon days and Tuesdays rush would not be noticeable.
 My clerks have been simply worked

 Other stores reported the same stren- uous condition during the first two days or the week and nearly every clerk in | the city has taken his meals on duty | since Monday morn ng. /: he fond mamaa and doting papas wHo did not get down town to provide | for the coming of Santa Claus until late yesterday evening refused to trust thei- purchases to delivery wagons and some | ot tho outgoing cars resembled freight | cars. Bundles were piled high into the
 seats and took up much room on the
 platforms. There was much jostling, but | the crowds were good natured. The, sedate citizen leased his dignifed | nefghbor because of the careful atten- tion he paid to a half concealed spotted hcrse and the dignifed neighbor prodded
 the sedate citizen for being seen on the l public highway with rag dolls bulging l from his overcoat pockets. Some uneasiness was caused on a Belt | Line car when O. B. Seaty of Clayton
 Street, entered with bundles piled up
 under his fat chin and a murderous

 another direction?' asked a stern-faced
 individual who sat opposite MT. Seaty, in confidential tones.

 Joke. eh?" calculated the stern-faced individual I've heard that talk before. Oh. no, it's not loaded. I carried one for Tom myself once and Toms at the cem- etery now. 1 don't care to join him there: Point it the other way. I tell you"
 "Drat it, man, it's a toy gun," de- feared MT. Seaty as he shifted the gun to the other shoulder.
 An elderly woman dodged behind her companion when she saw that she was looking into the barrel of the gun.
 MT. Seaty wal much embarrassed. In hia excitement he unbreached the gun. Then the car conductor took a hand.
 You must not scare our passengers in this way" he said.
 Why, dash blank 1t. man." shouted MT Seaty, it is a harmless weapon; harmless weapon. I tell you. Stop the car. I'll walk home before I'll be in- suited. Stop her right now"
 The car slowed down and for full five minutes the nervous passengers assisted the fat citizen to unload his bundles into the street Then he shouldered the rifle and stumbled into the darkness with a great assortment of Christmas packages about his neck.

 Large crowds of country people have thronged the streets of Brlindidge for the past two days, buying Christmas goods. In fact, the Christmas trade seems very little behind last year, when 1t was phe- nomenal. In some lines it Is perhaps bet ter than then. Everything and every body Is quiet and orderly and all seem bent upon a peaceful enjoyment of the great holiday season. Only one slight scrap between the police and an unruly darky has occurred.
