nloua Manifestation!*.
Christmas comes on a pace-in fact on a dead
run. The streets have already put on their holi-
day attire. Holly and mistletoe here and there
proclaim welcome, and all the world Is gottine
in tunc to the chime of Christmas bells The
crustiest old autocrat, in charge of a newsuapor
now nubouds, and chatter about trade, seen only
in display typo before, now becomes the newsiest
of news. We may flatter ourselves that this is a
free country, where the people are sovereign but
at this season Santa Claus is king, Just the same
In these days of crowded shops and crowded
streets, when everybody is buying something for
everybody else, the shopkeeper’s stock of p a .
tieuce and endurance must be run upon verv
heavily.
This from a man in wholesale trade whose
business is almost an even current through the
year:
“I walked up Broad street to day, Btoppcd in a
halfdozen big stores and tried hard to settle my
mind upon something for the madam. Although
I looked over hundreds of things and bought
nothing, the people in the store never uttered an
impatient word or complained once of all the
trouble I gave them. .Many of the stores were
full of women, and you know shop-keepers who
trade with women haven’t a bed of ruses at this
season of the year.”
“Have’nt jou determined yet?”
“Oh, yes; I fixed it this morning, I think I
have struck the right thing and it will he sure to
please. It’s the prettiest chiua set you ever saw
and came from
L. L. COWDEItY & CO.,
who have them by the hundreds, and hundreds
und thousands of other things just as pretty an.'
useful. Such a display of beautiful things 1ms
never before been seen, and there is not a pret
tier crockery store south of Mason and Dixon’s
line than Cowdcry’s.”
“I want a lamp.”
He was a bright young man. Last year he
very scnstbly got married to a very sensible little
woman, and the above remark was beard just as
the reporter entered this glittering palace.
The salesman soon had the young man’s mind
In a whirl. He showed lamps and lamps. He
exhibited three from Vienna with shades covered
with fine brass filigree,inlaid with stained glasses
of various hues that sparkled like jewels.
“These are very new.”
“Show me some American lamps.”
Then the salesman conducted the young man
to a table where there was a great array, in
dozens of different styles. There were oxidized
silver and copper effects, brass in all the wonders
of brass-workers’art and no end of crystal and
tinted glass. The scribe left the young man, to
gether with half a hundred ladies looking at the
beautifal things at Cowdery’s, while he went to
fill an engagement with
TI1E RUSSIAN COUNT.
Profiting by his experience of Saturday morn
ing with the count, tlio scribe found himself
drifting with the tide of gay Christmas revelers
and shoppers on Broad street yesterday morning
in the full confidence that tlw gentleman from
ttt. Petersburg would materialize at the proper
time and the proper place. The count, however,
is a man of surprises, and, laying aside for tho
day miraculous manifestations, etc., walked
quietly up to tho scribe as ho was gazing in rap
tures over a myriad of bewildering things and
stocking his castlo in Spain with the wealth of
the world. Just step in hero and behold tho
activity, the energy that pervado tho very atmos
phere of this wonderful establishment. Neither
you nor I need an introductian hero. It is the
grand and progressive emporium of
G. E. THOMAS, SR.,
known and justly known throughout Georgia,
Alabama and Florida as the “No Shoddy
Clothier.” There are two remarkable things that
may be said about the establishment—people
like to go there, and they feel at Lome when
they get there. The manager and the clerks arc
-cleverly persuasive men, and their nobby styles
will do the rest. The house don’t find it neces
sary any longer to advertise the prices of the
goods, except in a few specialties. They put in
print what they have, and if you weren’t born
during a cyclone you will know that their goods
are at least as cheap as at any store in the city.
Stated generally, they keep clothing, furnishing
goods and hats. Stated specifically, they keep
anything a gentleman may need in tho way of
making himself look “tony” and respectable. All
men want just what Thomas has, and so do their
boys and children. For instance, this is the
Reason for fine overcoats, and Thomas’ is tho
place to get them. In fact, from Thomas you can
get a bargain in boys’ clothing, children’s cloth
ing, neokwear, umbrellas, rubber and in all those
things that are called furnishings. If you are an
utter stranger in Columbus, inquire for Thomas;
if not, you’ll go there without special invitation.
You need go no farther unless you are in search
of groceries, then go to
W. J. WATT
at the Rankin house corner and you will find as
excellent stock of family groceries and plantation
aupplies as were ever brought to Columbus. One
can find nothing better than “good old ham,
and there is none better in Columbus than at
Mr. Watt’s. He has sugar-cured shoulders that
are better thau the average ham. The best
grades of flour ever made are in his stock. Ho
has anything a family may need to eat. This
house is famous tor the flavor of its teas and col-
fees, and keeps always the very best of these very
necessary articles of general consumption. They
are plentifully stocked with all, and a great deal
more, that may be required to make up t le
happiness of a single day—even such a da >'
the one that is close at hand. From the surfeit
by anticipation of all these delicious wares, it is a
positive relief to get back to the hardware an
splendid realities of
JOEL bush’s
establishment, across the street from the Rankta
bouse. It is quite true that Mr. Bush has mo
particularly prepared for the “lioiny-han e so
of toil,” in the way of plows and farming imp c-
ments generally, but* his large and we assor
stock of hardware embraces many things -
will make the heart glad and wreathe the face m

RAGLE AND PHENIX SAVINGS BANK,
So that when they do shuffle off this mortal coil
they can leave something as a memento. Your
money is received there with a smile, and your
dividends are disbursed w.th another smile with
compound interest. The bank is down at the
mill, and a magnificent building it is. To enjoy
life after the most approved fashion, you must
have either ot two things—a bank or a banker. It
is not a prudent man who will select as his re
pository the first bank he comes to, unless it be
some such institution as the Eagle and Phenix
Savings bank. The reason for that bit of philoso
phy is that it is one of the bed-rock institutions
of Columbus. It was established long ago on
the soundest and safest of business principles,
and bids fair to bo with us and for us for many a
Christmas day to borne. Taking it for granted

“But, count,” exclaimed the weary scribe,
“don’t you really think we have gone far enough
for one day? Suppose we hunt up some con
venient shanty car and lie oft'until to-morrow,
when we can again take up the thread of our dis
course and go on to the bitter end?”
And tho count replied: “Good enough! Shake!”
LETTER FROM SEALE.
News Notes nnd Personal Matters Laconically
oted.
Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Seale, Ala., December 20.—I have been spend
ing a night and a part of two days in this banner
village of Alabama. Seale looks leafless and
wintry; and the breezes that were but babies of
Boreas in the autumn, are old enough to whistle
and chill you now. But the fires glow on every
hearth, and the old time Seale welcome is still
free from the ring of the counterfeit coin. I don’t
know a pleasanter place to spend a day of rest
in than this is, and so I never go anywhere else
often.
Liko Columbus, Scale is on a Christmas trade
boom, and the streets are full of people whose
pockets are fall of money. There are few stores
in Alabama which do a larger retail trade than
one of tho stores in Scale does. I saw a half
dozen wagons roll in from the country to-day,
each bearing six bales of cotton, and upon each
load of cotton perched the trade mark—an Ala
bama nigger.
There is money in farming in Russell county yet.
There will be a red-lettered time socially in
Seale during the holidays. The village is crowd
ed with young people, and several entertain
ments have been mapped out, among them a ball
aud a banquet.
Major J. F. Waddell, who has been quite sick
of late, is able to he up now, and it is hoped will
soon be entirely recovered.
The excitement in regard to tho Carrlen-Saun-
dera murder has become quiet, pending the trial
in April. The two young Cardens are whiling
the lonely days and nights away in their cells in
tho bleak little jail on tho hill. H. D. H.
Youth In Twelve Centuries.
! A handsome quarto volume and one that will
attract immediate attention from its unique
character and unusual beauty, is Yonth in Twelve
Centuries, a series of twenty-four poems by Mrs.
Mary E. Blake, elegantly illustrated by twenty-
! four ideal portraits drawn by F. II. Lungren.
i These protraits illustrate types of several races
! through more than thirty centuries, the earliest
I represented being the Egyptians in the time of
the Pharaohs, and the latest the youth of Colo
nial America. Tho list includes the artist’s
! ideals of tho young men and women of China
2000 years ago; the lads and maidens of ancient
Greece and Rome; of Germany in
the Middle Ages; of Spain and
France, of Scandinavia, of Italy and
of England. All are clad in national costume,
and the artist has exercised extraordinary care
to have, whenever it has been possible, every
thing in the way of dress and head ornament
historically correct. Equal care has been be
stowed, too, in the drawing of the faces, to se
cure historic types, and the reader will have but
little difficulty, even with the names covered, to
at once fix upon the nationality of the subject.
The illustrations are on wood, each occupying a
separate page, and are printed, with the text, on
the fiuest paper. The binding is in handsome
rloth An edition de luxe in folio is also issued
with photogravure illustrations. For sale by D.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS
TO WHOM?
She’s going away to the land of flowers
jweet Ada, who lives near by;
For me she’s brightened the summer hours,
Has softened oi l winter’s sigh,
For merry she is with laughter and fun;
Such tresses of golden hair,
And roses blossom her cheeks upon
So pure aud fresh-they’re e’en more fair
Than anv the garden grows, I ween !
She's kind-sweet Ada! who lives near by,
fOnlv the broad, white street between)
Above shines the over-reaching sky j
T know not what hearts she wounds, a os,
^ With Cupid’s shafts, as she glides along
His pathway bright-as bright dreams pass
with blendings of music, mirth and song.
Whose image or heart she’ll hear away
T do not know. Ah; no. not I,
Hut tlii 1 know, that my heart will stir
B w thkindliest thoughts forever and aye,
When I think of this maiden with golden hair,
Who’s been to me so tender and sweet,
StGovinglv thoughtful -so debonmure,
This maiden across the street.
r shall miss her sweet presence when she is gone,
1 u,«r visits her dainty souvenirs,
,T ■ V am'dc rich with affection’s tone
H i „ i t the dress site so daintily wears

0 bhe hath brightened my life on ns rough path-
Some pearls she hath strewn and my lieartchords
To theebarm she wields and will bear away.

THE CATHOLICS AND THE KNIGHTS.
Is There a Storm Itrpwhur Between Ttipiul
Chicago. December 20.—A great deal of
interest is being taken by the knights of
labor in the case of Father MeGlynn, of
New York. They are anxious, it is said,
for a speedy decision in the matter, so that
the order will know what to expect from
the Catholic church. Some of the knights
here say that if Catholics aru expected to
leave the order, the church will be hurt
more than the knights. They think their
order might receive a sot. hack if tbo
church should sit down upon it, hut. in such
a case they would in time win much more
than they could lose, nnd would know
whom to tight in the future. In nn article
in an organ of the kiglitt* in which the
labor ami the Irish landlord iju stioru.’ia
disetisised in connection with Father Me-
Gly nt, is the tallowing paragraph:
“When the church strikes at. the means
of lift and nmk s it an article of faith Mint,
tens of thotisaudsof Irishmen must toil and
starve that an hundred English land
lords may live in idle luxuiy,
it ■ ! mply drives great masses of people out.
of its foi l. Life is a struggle for existence,
and when the church proposes to use the
religious sentraent and theological supur-
t,til.i,a of in si to make the struggle harder
for thousands, while relieving no one from
any struggle, then is rung the death knell
of any church. Henry George’s theories
can well stand tho anathema of the
church, hut the church cannot afford to
anathematize them.”

Facts From Fortson.
Fortson, Ga., Deceinber20.—On yesterday Rev.
C. C. Willis, by invitation of the pastor, preached
in his usual impressive style to an attentive con
gregation at Mt. Zion church. Text: “Jehovah-
Jiruh—-the Lord will provide.” After the cele
bration of the Lord’s supper Rev. Mr. Willis an
nounced that on next Sabbath that he would cel
ebrate the closing up of his forty-sixth year in the
pastorate of tho Bethel church, and he extended
a cordial invitation to all his friends to come to
that place next .Sabbath and hear him. This, ho
said, is the oldest pastorate in the state, and by
far the oldest except one, which was a little be
hind it.
Rev. Mr. Whiting and family are now tho
guests of Mr. Eugene Allinond, the brother-in-
law of Mr. Whiting. On Wednesday nigiit Mr.
and Mrs. Allmond will call together a. few friends
and neighbors and celebrate their wooden wed
ding.
Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Fortson left this morning
on a general traveling tour. Mrs. A. 10. Williams
nnd chrildren will accompany them as far as
Macon on a visit to relatives at that place. Mr.
Fortson will go directly to Savannah and thence
to South Carolina, and perhaps to Florida before
he returns. Mr. A. E. Williams will take charge
of the store and railroad business, and act as
postmaster during Mr. 1*orison’s absence.
Mr. T, (J. Knight and family, recently of Bir
mingham. are now occupying one-hall the resi
dence of Mr. Fortson. While the former gentle
man still clings to a little piece of Birmingham
diri, he has determined to see what virtue tbero
is for him in Fortson soil. We know there is a
gold mine in our soil, and tho gold doesn’t como
like it was shot out of a cannon’s mouth at us
either. It conies in the regular way the healthy
way—and Unit-is the l ost way after all. When a
man makes a dollar by hard ticks he knows how
it comes, and he will be more apt to know how it
go* s.
