Clans In the City for a Fen JTUll/r ^NQUIRKR • SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10, 188’ It is somewhat a curiosity to see a curiosity in ColumbuB. Some folk may not so regard it but a real, live Russian count iu Columbus is a curt- osity. Hence these remarks. A Russian count of no small fame was at one of the leading hotels in the city yesterday morn ing. The arrival of such a distinguished visitor was the inducement offered an Enouiueu-Son reporter to call upon him and get from him some information as to the purpose of his tour and what attraction he had found in Columbus. It turned out in the course of the conversation that the count hud been here before and was thoroughly femiliar with the past and present history of Columbus. He talked quite fluently in the best of English, but with an interesting for- elgn accent. “As usual,” said the count, “1 am the advance guard, the Saint of all saints.” “Something fresh from Salt Lake City, per haps," thought the reporter. "I have come to bring you a thousand, nay, ten thousand, blessings.'’ “In disguise?” interrogated tlio reporter in alarm, with a kaleidoscope vision of things unut terable in his mind's eye. “A truce to badinage,” said the count, melo dramatically. “No; my benedictions are show ered down, not in masquerade, but with a free full hand.” “What’s tho matter with a flush in these days and nights of piping peace and booming busi ness ?" suggested the count's vis-a-vis. "Iconoclast I” swore the count, or something that sounded very much like it. “Do you imag ine that the spirit in whose keeping is the happi ness of millions of mortals will pause to bandy words over a mere handful of hearts or dia monds? No! I have come, I repeat it, with a free, a full hand to allay all the sorrow that is left, to dry all the tears that are still trembling in the public eye, to sweeten—” “Then you may rake in the jackpot without a .struggle," said the scribe sotto voce. “To Bweeten all your joys and multiply them exceedingly," concluded the count, with a some what mournful vocal cadence in three flats. Just here the room became suddenly redolent with the odor of Banctity and Angostura Bitters, and the Christ mas cat sprang out of the bag. “ But, Santy,” said the Scribe, “ under what official title do you come this season ?" “ Well, just say to the very young children that -Santa Claus was at the Raukin house yesterday, and wiU spend a few days in the city visiting his relatives, friends and acquaintances; say to the merchants of Columbus that thousands of miles away I have watched their pluck and energy and have come to say a good word for them in ad vance of the day that they desire to celebrate; aay to the public generally that Christmas under my administration haB gone on improving forthe past eighteen hundred and eighty-five years, and that before this old year is dead we are to have the anniversary of anniversaries. There is to be no more croaking, no more mourning, no more sighing.” In the meantime there shall be but one secret between us and the public, and that is how we got to r. L. pollard’s, but why we got there is a different thing. It is a good place to begin, and when you have found that you have discovered everything. Somebody has said that the best place to begin is at the be ginning. But that very philosopher would, like ourselves, begin in the middle if he had lived in the same city with Louis Pollard. He is lavishly dispensing happiness in all manner of forms to the Columbus public, Now, Pollard’s is the place to get you up an ideal dinner, in a most substan tial form. There may be a slight contradiction in this way of stating it, but your true epicurean .is nevertheless an idealist. The ideal is perfec tion, and that is the objective point of a Christ mas dinner. See? If you don’t, make further investigations at Pollard’s. Ask him to show you that wonderfully varied stock of staple and fhney groceries, including everything from the modest Irish potato up to the most appetizing sauces that ever emanated from the brain of a French culinary artist. But the list of the Pollard specialties is as long as the California State ticket, and could scarely be detailed in a column and a half. Everybody who makes or drinks coffee i from the ground article associates the pleasant act with the name of Pollard, at whoso place of business you may get it in all its odoriferous va rieties. The sweet, savory ham is there, the mincemeat is there, the jam, the marmalade, tho preserve and tlio jelly, and flgs and currants and raisins and citron, and the thousand and one other things that make the reorganized, recon structed English-American plum-pudding a local specialty. With all these things in store Christ mas should be, and will be, as happy as Pollard can make it, and that is saying a great deal. Pollard’s is s glorious place and so is the dry goods palace of J. A. KIBVEN A CO. The reputation of this establishment as the headquarters of the finest quality of goods in their line is familiar to the city, and in fact to the whole state. This store has been under the management of Mr. J. Albert Kirven for a num ber of years and has progressed steadily in the public favor since his brother R. V. Kirven be came associated with him. These gentlemen keep what they advertise and have been fighting it out on that line ever since they entered the business. The object of one's shopping life is to get a good bargain, and at no place in the city is one more likely to do so than at this well-stocked store. It is needless for us to enumerate, or at tempt to tell what they have, as there is nothing in the dry goods line that they cannot supply. And the beauty of it is, that what you are offered will be genuine; including the welcome to their establishment. After that comes everything that yon may need in the way of dress goods, fancy goods, hosiery, gloves, notions nbbons, laces, and equally desirable articles for gentle men and boys as well as ladies and misses. One good thing suggests another, and speaking of bargains reminds us of WITTICH A KtNSHL, who did not wake up one morning to find them selves famous, like a celebrated poet, but they have filled their palace with silver and gold, and thishas made them famous. Their jewelry em porium, enclosing the richest and most dazzling and shapely things, is the realizalion of a dreai in gold and silver. It is the magnetic attraction of Broad street. You involuntarily stop to take in the kaleidoscopic effects of their glittering show windows. The next moment you enter you are bewildered. It is a curious place, lou are a odte endowed with multiple vision. see what you want yourself; and then you continue to gaze on account of your sister, some 0 c * low’s sister, your aunt, your unc e, your grandfather. You can begin wi baby if you choose, and buy him a pap s P°° n ’ a price that will astonish both of you. r have no baby, yet you can spend your the same on bracelets, ear-rings (so 1 ' lockets diamond-studded, toilet sets, ca ’ hand-mirrors, watch-chains, gol P cn9 ' pencils and other things which are usua cepted on the first twenty-four receiving days m December.

They arc going to give a special discount of to per eonl. from the present marked prices on nil leather and plush goods. The Beehive is the chosen home o the velvet and silk, and everything else rich and attractive in the line of gorgeous wearing apparel. If there were any royal families in Co lumbus, ten to one they would kr ep an open ac count at the magnificent establishment of this opulent firm. The difference between the bar gains at tlie Beehive and elsewhere is that here they are unparalleled, and that statement applies to every department of this vast dry goods pal ace. But there are many other business houses in Columbus where bargains may be had, and noteworthy of these is ADAMS &. BOWERS, who aie headquarters for toys and Christmas goodsoi all kinds. It would be folly to attempt an enumeration of the hundreds and thousands oftoys iu this establishment-sufflce it to say that such a large stock was never before seen in Columbus. There is not a toy to be thought of but what they have it. In the way of fruits this store cannot be excelled in all the southern coun try. They deal in everything luscious from the tropical climes and in all kinds of domestic fruits to be had at this season of the year. Adams & Bowers is headqunrters for fruits as well as for toys. It is lieadquartersfor candies. They have the largest assortment Of fancy candies that have ever been collated in one Columbus house. Nuts, raisins, dates—hut what is (lie use to undertake to tell what they have when it is so well known that Santa Claus makes headquarters at Adams & Bowers’ for any liing in the line of confection eries, toys, fireworks, fruits and things to please the young folks, the old folks and everybody else. Get these goodtbings and you will find the true inwardness so pleasant that you will at ouce repair to the millinery store of MADAME LEQUINN and if you want to see and to know and to feel what is meant by fancy goods in the abstract and concrete, linger awhile among the special Christmas offerings of Madame Lequinn. Without circumlocution, she is one ofthe most popular merchants in Columbus. What would be the finest lady’s hat iu Columbus without an ostrich tip or a blue-jay’s wing, or perhaps a whole red- bird. Now, a word to the wise is sufficient. Madame Lequinn has all these things iu their most exquisite beauty and in endless variety. Not only has she the ornaments for the head- gear itself, but among these are some of the rav- ishingly beautiful styles that one sees on the streets on any fine evening during the holidays. They were wise; they bought them at Madame Lquinn’s and that being interpreted signifies that they got fine articles at the most reason able figures. Just now there are in her stock fine hats for ladies and misses which represent the very latest agony in female decorative art, and they are all bran, spanking new. During the week she will have the most beautiful artifi cial flowers in pots and for parlor decorations. Now is the opportunity; and speaking of decorations, suggests the idea that WILLIAM MEYER is the expert foot decorator in the city. There is bo one article belonging to the wardrobe of man, woman or child that adds to or detracts from the comfort and happiueis of the wearer more than a pair of shoes. If one’s siloes combine the mer its of a stylish shape and a perfect fit, the owner is indeed fortunate; if, on the contrary, the shoes be lacking in either respect, they become a source of serious annoyance. An inspection ofthe shoe parlor and its wide and ample stock at William Meyer’s makes it apparent that all humanity, of whatever age or station, may there dress their feet in a becoming and comfortable manner, and this, too, at a comparatively low cost. In a word, the boots, shoes and slippers for men, women, and children, made by this popular firm, appeal to patrons who exercise common sense and econ omy in their purchases. Now, Mr. Meyer appre ciates this fact, and there is not a better place in Columbus to get slippers for holiday presents. He lias a large line for the special purpose. Mr. Meyer is also offering misses and children’s shoes at greatly reduced prices—so low that a person will have money left to go to C. A. LOVELACE & CO., and leave an order for an elegant suit. Every fashionable limn in Columbus knows that this is one ofthe most sompiete merchant tailoring es tablishments that Columbus has ever had. Any thing needed in the way of a suit can be had— made to order and fitgunranteed, Charley Love lace knows what kind of a hat you should wear, and that is often a question of social ethics of more importance than you may imagine. A man’s hat is his crown, and whether it be as flat as a Japanese breadtray or deep enough to ac commodate au occasional Christmas brick, it should, all the same, be selected with infinite care and prudence. Now, take this advice and make a confidant of Charley Lovelace. He knows more about hats in the abstract and contrete than you do at least. He has a handsome establish ment, neat, well-ordered and well-filled. His stock is practically inexhaustible, and his styles of which he makes leaders are Dunlap’s and Stetson’s silk umbrellas at $15, or you can find any kind you may wish. Dress out and then don’t fail to call on C. SCHOMBUBO, who is one of the most staunch and reliable |ew- elers in Columbus. He has diamonds that turn night into day. Last year he had seven specific temptations; this year a temptation hides on every shelf, on every curiously wrought case, on many a vase and jar.” There is one impression, bv the way, that ought to be removed before we go any farther in the discussion of our friend s establishment. Because he is a dealer in dia monds he is not exclusively the pu.veyor to princes alone. He has something for every bony and at all prices. His is a fortunate business, for the reason that he has what every body longs for, whether it be for yourself, yOuf sweetheart, your wife or auy other ender relationship that cast his or her affectionate eyes to you in this generous Christmas tide. It is al most useless to endeavor to give even a partial inventory ofthe rare and beautiful things that must be seen and bought to be properlv enjoyed. If you want anything, mark the word, in dia monds rubies, pearls, amethysts, gold, silver, bronze cliina, canes, folding screens, bric-a-brac „o to Schomburg’s. This is the time to buy and fliis is the place, and if you take an expert s ad vice you will be with and of the merry, bustling throbg that is always to be found at bis store. D. J. FEILSR , comes into mind when one speaks of full al '' a5 1 » nt stocks for he undoubtedly has as : rlt- of cakes, confectioneries. flna a i™, there is in Columbus. His toys aa “ Dds by the ~ Mr. Feller has the promt claim for Rolling the only western wagons in the ci’.v, ami to show the r superiority, this is the fifth season that he bus solil them. He has thousands of wagons, wheelbarrows, velocipedes ami th ugs for Hoys, doll carriages for girls, and the prettiest, sweet est, lovliest dolls ever seen. No one can vitit the store and fail to find wlmt they \n ant, if they want anythiug in the way of a toy, Oakes that are as light and creamy as cream tempt the appetite. Confectioneries by the hundreds of pounds in all kinds of caudles, sugar prepared goods, bakers’ bread and auytbiug in that line. Don’t misas the best opportunity for selecting something nice, and Feller’s ia the place to get it in good shape. That reminds us that for men who travel on their shape, J. K. HARRIS A CO.’S is by all means the place to go for a Christmas suit. Their stock includes everything that is necessary for tho complete happiness ofthe four great classes of our citizens—men, young men, boys and children. There is not atiindividuai in any ol* these classes who will not want some thing in the line of fancy apparel before the next ten days, and of course t key know the place to get it is at the well-known house of J. It. Harris & Co. Tastes differ very much as to what a Christmas suit should be, but one will have no difficulty in selecting one to please any fancy from the large and handsome stock of these popular purveyors to the latest agonies and styles. The Arm is justly proud of the styles they keep, and in this they are right. No man wants to go about with shoulders inclined like a Mansard roof if he can help it, and this is one of the in ducements to pay them an early visit. Nor are the boys and children forgotten in the varied assortment which is to be found here. The truth is that the boys must be provided for first, and the boy who can t be suited here must be the most cross-grained and perverse little animal in the city. If you buy a suit, and tho chances are a thousand to ono that you will, you must also in vest in a hat. The nobby styles at J. K. Harris & Co. are just the thing, and if you escape tho purchase of one to complete your make-up you will have performed a miiacle of self denial. But no man can deny himself a good smoke, and w. n. hauls’ is the place to get it. Helms a number of new brands injeigars which take the day, and their reputation, unlike the cigars, do not end in smoke. The best cigar for the least money to be had in Columbus is at Sauls’. He has the best grades of chewing and smoking tobacco, ciga rettes and smoking materials generally. His cigars are the very best things to have around after eating a Christmas dinner, and oue must go to H. F. EVERETT’S bakery before bis dinner can be complete. Any thing iu the bakery line can be bad at the lowest prices, but the Columbus bakery is now making a specialty of toys for Christmas. One must go and look and see to appreciate the great variety he has in toys. All kinds of wagons for the boys, and a hundred things that no one but a boy or a boy’s friend would think of. He has one of the most varied assortments of confections and fruits and toys that he has ever brought out, and the people of Columbus know what this means. “But, there, there,” said the Russian count, “this will do for one day.” And so the saint and scribe will wait until another time to resume their rambles around the city, Nothing Slow About That. As it will be seen from an inspection of our advertising columns the first schedule on the Georgia Midland railroad goes into effect Tues day, the 21st. It is so arranged that our friends from up the road can have most of the day in Columbus and get home before night. As track- laying progresses the trains will be regularly run to further points on the road; due notice of whieh will appear in our columns. Considerable cotton and sundry freight is now being handled by this road, and it begins to show up as an important factor in the future of Columbus. We to-day put this railroad under the head of modes of receipts of our cotton table. For the benefit of some of our superlative conservatively friends it may not be amiss to review slightly the history of this enter prise. Last February the towns of Waverly Hall and Elerslie were canvassed for small subscrip tions to this road; to-day a regular schecule is in force to both points. It is only a little over seven months since Mr. Gunby Jordan telegraphed to Columbus that the Midland would be built. To-day there is over i seventy miles of graded road, nearly thirty miles I of track done, steel rails for twenty miles more I on hand and a full complement of equipment of the best makes on hand. Grass has not grown | under the feet ofthe men at the head of this en I terprise. Farther than this, the Georgia Midland I Construction company, whose money has built it, has been officered by home men, who saw to it that a railroad first-class in every respect was given this section. There has been no friction, no litigation, no arguments. Fairness always wins friends. For a work of its stupendous na ture we challenge the south to produce a like success, either in rapidity of construction or per fection of work. Columbus people have a way it would pay other places to imitate. C A It PET I> E PA 11TM E NT. Edmunds' Furniture Store.

The Matrimonial Market-Deaths, Vw* nnd Per sonal Netes. The leading idea in Browneville at presont is Christmas. Towns, like groat men, entertain but one idea at a time, and infuse their whole soul into tlmt one idea. Christmas, they say, comes but once a year, and in the south, at least, it is the most important epoch of the year, To the young it is the harbinger of pleasant events* liberality and good times, and to tho aged it brings memories of by-gone days when the heart was young, and in sympathy with the joyous season. Well, Browneville Is getting ieady for this great festal occasion. The stores aro well stocked with suitable holiday goods, tho flitted turkey is nmking his last strut, and the juvenile vorid is on the tiptoe of expectancy. Of course the IInquirur-Sun wishes its numerous readers in the Alabama suburbs a merry Christmas. Itu sinoss ChnngcN. We notice that Mr. John Buce is at the old stand of D. E. Wade conducting the business for the widow of the deceased. All indebted to the concern are requested to settle at once, ami those holding claims against the late Mr. Wade aro notified to present them at tlieir earliest con. venience. Messrs. E. H. linker A J. T. Pittman are open ing a new grocery store in the house lately va cated bj E. Jefferson. The Methodist Churehrs. Browneville and Girard have acquitted them, selves nobly during the conference year just closed. They have paid in full all claims and assessments, a thing which has rarely if ever happened in their past history. Trinity, in Brownevil le, not only made a clean balance sheet, bid helped her weaker sister, Girard, in clearing up its obligations. This enabled the pastor, Rev. Mr. Cummings, to leave for confer ence on Wednesday with a light heart. As for as we have heard au expression, the congrega tions of those churches would be more than pleased at the return of this faithful and able minister. Speculations ns to Whisky. It is not yet an established feet that there will be no saloons in Lively and Girard during the coming year. One or more ofthe proprietors in timate that they will run their saloons next year if the Peabody district adopts the minimum rate of fSOO, which would swell the toial state, county and corporation tax to $575. The board of trus tees will meet next Wednesday night to adopt a tax schedule, nnd it is reported on good author ity that the bar room tax will be fixed at $300. Matrimony oil a Boom The past has been the banner week for mar riages not only in Columbus, but in the Alabama suburbs. The young people seem to have de spaired of better times and determined to link their destinies for better or worse. Marriage is a noble institution, commended of God and ap proved by men, and it is to be hoped that all these parties will realize all their dreams of wed ded bliss. The following is the record for Browneville: Married, on Monday afternoon, December 13* by Rev. J. B. Gumming, Mr. J. D. Renfro to Miss Dollie Rundel. On Tuesday evening, December 14, at 'Trinity church, by Rev. J. B. Cumming, Mr. R. Page t-o Miss Maggie Burrus. At the residence of the bride, on Wednesday night, by Rev. Mr. Huckabee, Mr. Silas Thom ason, of Browneville, to Miss Jessie Smith, of Lively. On Thursday night, at Trinity church, by Rev. Mr. Huckabee, Mr. M. H. Brittain to Miss Maggie Davis. Deaths. Mrs. Mary Beck, aged 55, died last Monday, December 13. She cairns from Harris county to Browneville several years ago, and was highly respected by her friends and neighbors. Her husband was a mechanic, and died in Browne ville about three years ago. A five months’ old infant of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McArdle died in Browneville Tuesday night. Mrs. Mary Wynn, aged 90 years, died in Browneville yesterday morning. She was the mother of W. W. Wynn, of Montgomery, and of Mrs. Ed. Holley and Mrs. Cates, of Browneville. She died in the faith, full of years, and full of Christian graces. Bromiflville Briefs. Trade is quite active. There is consiberable demand for Christmas tricks. Browneville took considerable stock in the dime circus. A Browneville barber left with DeHaven’s show. He is expected back afoot in about two weeks. The little nigger who robbed Dellaven’s circus is serving out a thirty days’ sentence on the chain Rang. The Harris county stolen mule was captured in Browneville by the town official# and retumod to its owner. There is to be a Christmas tree at the Browne ville Baptist church, and the committees are ac tively canvassing to make i.t a success. Dr. Shackleford, ofthe Browneville drug store, is on a visit to his old home in southern Georgia. Dr. Jamison says some scamp cut his buggy top Friday night, and he will pay a dime reward for the culprit. One store is giving out onions for holiday pres ents. If you have tears prepare to shed them now. UIRAKD GLEANINGS. The Prohibition Question—More Money Wanted. Minor News Nates. The citizens are still excited over the prohibition question, and are expressing themselves freely as to the result of a suspension of the liquor traffic in Girard and Lively. Of course the temperance people are elated at the prospects, while most of the merchants oppose the measure as calculated to drive their trade to Columbus. We can say for Girard that it has a good reputation for morals and sobriety, and a drunken mail is rarely seen on the streets. Prohibition seems to be working its way steadily in Alabama, and there is no doubt but that Lee and Russell will be numbered among the dry counties, but so far as the temperance question affects Girard, it is evident that those who want whisky can easily obtain it by crosaing the river. Whatever may be the result ofthe temperance wave we hope the good citizens of Girard will not wrangle among themselves. A house divided against itself cannot stand. With or without bar-rooms her citizens will behave themselves. Wliat’s the Matter 1 We are sorry to notice that work has heen sus pended on the new Baptist church. After t he holidays we hope the work will receive a new impetus and that the committee on ways and means will double their efforts to complete tho handsome little church. That Bavin*. Judge Barr has taken the contraot for the tem porary repairs of the Bartlett ravine bridge, and commenced work thereon yesterday. After March a new bridge is to bo built. Mr. G. W. Horn we hear proposes to erect a permanent structure for $150. New* Notes. The days ofthe flitted gobbler are numbered. TI40 man who stole the church Bible was ar rested yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Somerkamp have returned from Apalachicola. The brick yard tires burned brightly during the past week. Mrs. John Payne is visiting the ftuaily of Mr. E. G. Bennett. A thief stole the deed of Columbus Jones’ place near the colored Baptist church, in the valley, a few days ago. Also #3 in money and other papers of value. CITY BlllTtt 8TOUE. Holiday Goods!

Christmas Suggestions If there is one season of the year in which suggestions are more welcome than another, this istheone. Therefore, presuming on this fact, I am going to load you down with them, according, you, however, the privilege of turning to the funny man’s column when tho burden becomes too great. My first suggestion is that if you have a mother-in-law who is at all times specially interested in your nocturnal movements, frequently expressing great solicitude for your health, gi v o her a handsome black silk dress. For this purpose you will find Kegetta Hand Loom Silk superior to any thing in tiiis market. If this does not have the desired effect, your case is a had ono and J would advise you to go west. If you want to give your wife a present that will please her and at the same time have the approval of all the neighbors, I have some elegant i’ick Lock blankets at $14 and $ 1 . r i per pair. Select for your daughter a set of boxes in plush for handkerchiefs and gloves, have both of them filled, and you will have a present that will be shown with pride a hundred times. Now, youngladies, give me a moment of your valuable time, and I will give you just one suggestion that will make your fortune if you act upon it. I have some of the finest silk umbrellas with the most exquisite handles, some of the prettiest walking canes with solid silver heads ever brought to Columbus. Get one of either of these and you will get your money hack,with double comjiound interoHt. Young man, give mamma and papa a merry Christmas and many happy re turns, and select for your sweetheart the prettiest thing you can find among our elegant ornaments for the bureau and dresser. Don’t forget the cook. She is the most important person in the house and the least appreciated and most abused. ICvery one from the baby up should give her a present. The housemaid, nurse and man should not be forgotten. Remember ill- used servants render poor services. If there is nothing in the above to fit your case, call at the Red Star stores, 1130 and 1138 Rroad street, and tell us how much money you want to Bpend in presents, and we’ll fit you up in a few minutes. 0.
