r. NJ. ESTES,
the popular Grocer, was our next des
tinstion, as my Greenland friend de-
sired nice oyster stew, which only
Prof. John Lewis can concoct. Sc
we sought the place presided over by
Mr.. Estes, where he and his aids-de
camp, Messrs. Will Powell and Will
Hill, hold the confidence of the pub
lie and dispense fresh groceries OF
every description at close and reason
able prices.
Mr.. Estes is deserving Of SUCCESS
and merit wins. Therefore he is a
winner. No one begrudges him his
good luck. He believes in advertis-
ing what he has to sell and an appre-
ciative public have "caught on" as
it were, and patronize him according
ly. His stock is large, we'll assorted
and clean.
MRS. d. N. wILBURN
carries splendid stock of goods in
the Dry Goods and Notions line, and
altho' the space Is not so large her
stock is well assorted and new, and
prices exceedingly low. People who
trade at this store are enthusiastic
about the reasonableness of prices
and the nice treatment they receive.
Mrs. Wilburn is deserving of good
patronage, and as she is firm be-
lever in advertising, success must
and will crown her ardent efforts.

fitted new pair of glasses to Santa,
and he expressed himself as delighted
with them, as he could now read the
Evening Greenland News without the
aid Of the Aurora Borealis. Before
closing our jaunt showed him the
corner lot Of Main and Bachelor
Street, recently bought by E. Nichol-
son Esq, and upon being advised
that handsome 3-story store and
office building would soon be erected
there, with quarters therein for the
| Glover Club, our city social organiza-
tion, Santa Claus pronounced the
idea an excellent one, and said he re-
| gretted that time forbade him to
meet the good members Of that order
before his departure.

was inspected and my friend was de-
lighted with the arrangement of
everything. The sudden change of
climate from Greenland to the Caro-.
linas had given him a touch Of lum-
bago, Ito which complaint he is sub
ject) and he purchased q plaster at
once from the affable Mr.. Rice.

set 'em up to "Hot Huyler Choco-
late" which warmed up the old gen.
tleman somewhat. We stopped at
Oetzel's Hardware Store few mo-
ments where Santa Claus got an Ao-
cident Insurance Policy, good for 8
months, and after shaking hands with
d. c. FLYNN,
the Leader of Low Prices" and "the
man who reduced cotton from 1Oc a
spool to &C." who Santa Claus admitted
was "up to his business and could be re-
lied upon, or he was no judge of human
nature " we meandered back to the
sanctum Of THE TIMES somewhat jaded,
but happy withal. "YOu have bright
future before you," said my friend, IA
he sat down. before the sanctum fire.
II am particularly impressed with your
financial facilities, which while 1 have
not the time to personally inspect. you
have been kind enough to explain to me.
AS can see 1t
THE PEOPLES BANK,
comparatively new institution, is doing
business that should make the stock
holders proud both Of their Bank and its
able officers. Resources, capital, surplus
and profits amount to S3O0,OOO. Presi-
dent B. F. Arthur deserves great credit
for the splendid showing. Especially to
be admired is his Savings De- artment,
and thro' liberal advertising he, too, has
benefited his Bank and the public at
large. Incubation of the idea of saving
money is a duty Of parents to children,
and Mr.. Arthur's ideas are beneficial to
both children and adults. Mr.. Duncan,
cashier, and Mr.. Swygert, bookkeeper,
are both able men and their good work
is well known to the public. l have also
noticehin your valuable paper that the
old reliable
MERCHANTS AND PLANTERS BANK
is still doing business at the old st md,
ever conservative bat still advancing.
The President, Capt. +. M. Farr, q
gentleman of vast commercial experience,
and whose judgement is Sought by many
person who is up tree commands
the respect and love of this community.
Mr.. j. d. Arthur, cashier, and Messrs.
McWhirter and Greer complete the Office
force of this sound institution. Their
motto, am glad to see, is Every &C.
commodation consistent with good bank.

my quiet investigations-fo the staunch
and enduring banking house of
