CHRISTMAS HINTS.

| Last week we called attention to a
number of Bel Air stores and the Christ
mas stocks that they are displaying. but
we do not want our readers to think
that the list has been exhausted.
The large store of c. c. Rouse, presents
goods that he has ever laid in. Antici-
pating large trade, the quantities are
greater than ever before and prospective
buyers have no idea of the purchasing
value of dollar until they examine his
prices There is not thing in his store
that could not advantageous be used
as an acceptable Christmas gift, for many
times useful and practical tokens are
more acceptable than those which can
only be used for the time. While always
busy. his corps of clerks is large enough
to give their courteous attention for
which this store has been noted for many
years.
James c. Young has opened his Christ
mas stock and it has been fay orably COM
mented upon by all who have had occa-
sion to visit his store His goods are so
displayed as to be easily examined by the
public and they range from the many
beautiful ard expensive things. that we
all so love to give, down to the little
chaps much appreciated but noisy drum
and whistle. Young's store has ALWAYS
been noted for the taste displayed in the
seasonable stock exhibited, and this ear
is no exception to. the rule.
Connoisseurs can find the most beauti.
full stock of dainty china and glassware
at the store of Ewing and Company.
The stock compares favorably with that
of any city store which handles such
goods exclusively. Ofcourse, there are
many other articles in just keeping with
this line of specialties, and the buying
public will be perfectly satisfied with the
reasonable prices at which they are
offered.
In the line of toilet goods, the Bel Air
Drug Store has many attractive novel
ties that will prove to be acceptable
Christmas presents. The stock also in
cludes choice CONNECTIONS, which are
always appreciated, especially by the
members of the fair sex.
Speaking of something good to eat, we
must not forget our genial friend Mr..
John H. Fisher. He has areputation for
selling only goods 1.-THE highest standard,
and every luxury and necessity is now
contained in his fresh new stock laid in
especially for the holidays.
Iglehart's grocery and butcher store
combines every substantial which can be
! decked off with the dainties necessary for
a perfect Christmas dinner. 1t makes
one hungry just to go into his commo-
dious store room and look at all the
nice things just ready for the cook.
Hanway, Barnes and McComas, have
combined under one management, the
many necessary interests that go to sup
ply household necessities. While their
stock has not been especially augmented
for the Christmas trade, yet it includes
many things that could with propriety be
presented at this season of gift making
There are lot of us who would not
object to receiving ton of coal or 6
carriage robe, or i'll fact any of the
numerous other articles that will be founc
in their large stock.
E. II. Hall and Son should not be for
gotten when making an inventory of thu
good places to go and get seasonabl'
Christmas gifts. They make a specialt,
of sporting goods including all kinds O
fancy shooting arms. They have tn
latest improved rifles, shot guns and al
guns, illustrative of the best patents ant
improvements that the trade affords
Besides this, the stock includes hand
some carving sets, cutlery and othe
, things calculated to make the hearts Q
both the giver and receiver glad tina
. such enterprise is exhibited in our pro
!. gressive little town.
} We would not like to close this review
without saying some few commentator
words in reference to the Baltimor
5 Clothing Store, which has become one {
the big enterprises of the town, althoug
. their m any customers can bear nor
: convincing testimony than any possibl
for us to adduce. While the proprieto
: Mr.. Getz is busy man, it is his pleasur
: to see that every one who visits his tw
4 stores is treated in right royal name
r 1t would take too many columns to tie
: just what he has in stock, so we advi:
e our readers to go and see for themselve
