Local Merchants Have Made Ready and Expect Heavy
 Trading, From Now.

Thcre are cnly 13 more shopping days, to Christmas. ... A,s. =.
 Indications are that the heavy holi- Bay buying will start tomorrow. and will be continued ,'o and through Friday December 24, the day before Christmas, just as it always does.
 Merchants, and business men bs- lieve there will be larger and more general .Christmas business this although so far Shere has been only. a small amount of this sort of buas- ness transacted here, .-,
 Chystnas stacas are said to sbe larger and more varied this. ysar than has bsen the case for several years past. The geod cotton crop; and the high price which was obtain ed for the staple, in connection with the general practice of diversiflca- tion, brought into this section an unusually large sum of real money and caused the merchants to decide that the holiday business would be large end profitable. se' .

The c3untry plople gener- ally make their heavy holiday pur- chases within thu. week or ten days immediately preceding Christmas & why. nobody knows, perhaps fer the sams reason that large number oi city folk wait until the last few days before Christmas. Today and tomor- row the heavy country business is ex- pccted to stars, and until Christmas the rural people will be in town in large numb rs nearly every day. ,-.
